Alliance For Community Media

Founded in 1976, the Alliance represents over 3,000 Public,
Educational and Governmental (PEG) access organizations and community
media center throughout the country. The ACM works to protect the
interests of these access centers and those who use PEG facilities and
equipment to advance their causes through  cable television and the
Internet.

New America Foundation’s Open Technology Initiative announced the release of “Full Spectrum Community Media: Expanding Public Access to Communications Infrastructure,”
a policy paper written for the ACM.   The paper argues that the key to
sustaining community media will be expanding beyond the provision of
public access television and participating in the provision of local
broadband, operation of radio broadcast licenses as well as other
communications infrastructure.
