A Response to Hans Klein's "Public Access Television: An Institutional Analysis"

Over on the Alliance's Facbook page a few weeks ago, Ben Sheldon posted a link to the Winter 2005 "On Beyond Access" issue of the Alliance's quarterly journal, Community Media Review, eliciting a comment a few days ago enthusing about its still-valid content.  Unfortunately, there is one article in that issue which is severely flawed and needs a response - Hans Klein's "Public Access Television: An Institutional Analysis."  In January 2007 I wrote such a response and made it available to the Alliance's listserv.  I'm now reposting it on my blog
