The PAPER TIGER TV COLLECTIVE and the DEEP DISH SATELLITE TV NETWORK present a
new video on cyberspace issues and the NII
------------------------------------------------------------
NETROOTS; CULTIVATING THE DIGITAL PARK (30 min. video)
Paper Tiger TV returns to the issues surrounding the growth of new communication
and information technologies. New computer networks and information resources are
sprouting up around the globe as new users continue to redefine and cultivate the
communications landscape. Schools, community groups, local governments and
individuals are creating digital gardens where we all can sow the seeds of our
communications future. This program highlights these visionary models which are
working to extend the public sphere into the new information environment in ways
that encourage participation, foster growth and guarantee equal access. This show
also examines how the paths connecting our new digital gardens must be protected
from the gates of private interest by a public policy that both protects and
nurtures the nature of public communications. The show features, among others,
James Love (TAP), Andrew Schwartman Media Access Project), Antonia Stone (founder
of Playing to Win), Lauren Glenn Davitian (Chittenden Community TV), Martha
Wallner (Assoc, of Indep. Video and Filmmakers), and Ralph Nadar.
THREE WAYS TO GET THE SHOW INTO YOUR COMMUNITY:

2) If you don't have a dish, contact your local "Public Access" Cable TV station

Americans. We must get our local communities involved, the decision making
process must be made public!

STAKING A CLAIM IN CYBERSPACE: INFORMATION POLICY FOR THE PEOPLE (30 min.
video)

video communication tool of the future? Will 500+ television channels mean

advocates and community organizers working to ensure that the information highway
is accessible and functional for all people.
VIDEO DIALTONE: MALLING OUR FREE SPEECH (30 min. video)
Produced immediately after the FCC ruling on Video Dialtone, this video examines

public access?
MUTINY ON THE CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP (60 min. video)
Produced for the Deep Dish TV Network, this program examines corporate ownership
and sponsorship of media industry and how these forces determine what information

Paper Tiger TV is a non-profit, volunteer operated, video collective based in New
York City. For over a decade Paper Tiger Television has worked for greater
democratization of the communications industry.
Paper Tiger programs are cable-cast on Manhattan's public access, channels
designated for community use, non- commercial and censorship free. Paper Tiger's
collection of over 225 titles are also used by libraries, universities and
community organizations to illuminate the media's role in our society. Many
programs examine a particular aspect of the communications industry, from print
media to TV and movies, looking at its impact on public perception and cultural
life. Other videos represent the people and views which are largely absent from
the mainstream media. Featuring scholars, activists and stand-up theoreticians,
these tapes are informational media critiques and offer a creatively low-tech
alternative to standard TV fare. Call or write for a catalogue of other shows.
