- 요약Community media centers (CMCs) sustained by funding from cable television infrastructure play an essential yet often overlooked role in contemporary local media ecosystems. Urban-situated versions of these CMCs, like Philadelphia Community Access Media (PhillyCAM), have an extensive track record of engaging historically marginalized communities in neighborhood-level participatory storytelling and information-sharing processes. While the cable revenue model that sustains CMCs is in severe decline, communities across the U.S. need public services that disseminate trustworthy local news and civic information, offer media education accessible to public audiences, and maintain safe spaces where motivated individuals can gather to learn, collaborate, communicate, and grow. The first part (Chapters 1, 2, and 3) of this dissertation presents historical research that gleans lessons from public access television's past-how it was organized as a nationwide media activism movement, developed as a participatory local communication resource, and forged in Philadelphia through a historic collaboration between grassroots activists and the city's government. The second part (Chapters 4 and 5) examines qualitative insights from field observations, community member interviews, autoethnographic journaling, and a collaborative multimodal portrait project. Focused [in] the Frame challenges normative assumptions that believe newer technologies, such as online platforms facilitating "free" and open communication, have rendered legacy mediums like public access television irrelevant and useless. From the perspective of a community of African American media makers at PhillyCAM, this study's findings suggest contemporary CMCs serve as a safe space and springboard for ordinary people passionate about lifelong learning, nurturing healthy community relationships, and voluntarily serving as communication stewards in their local media ecosystems. The self-determined producers who participated in this study have used PhillyCAM-a relatively new public access operation built on a legacy infrastructure-as a viable way to focus, frame, and disseminate authentic narratives and community-relevant information in the public sphere. Future research should explore potential policy interventions, revamped operational models, and public storytelling projects that motivate academic and non-academic communities to invest in preserving and expanding community access media infrastructure.
