Small group of people creating programs and broadcasting it to the population. Creates barriers it was expensive, people had to be broadcast engineers. Who"s voice is being heard and who"s making the programs. We"re talking about the privileged celebrity experiences: analysis. Identifying problems and solutions social conditions and experiences: alternatives to this: limitations. Indigenous people and minorities and women may feel left out. Poor people don"t see a lot of representation of them. Youth and students don"t see it programed on tv: these people are not seeing themselves on tv, so that is why there is now alternative internet, underground newspaper, zines, pirate radio, community radio and tv. The zine isn"t about pain, it"s about finding out that we are different, it"s about laughing and hugging.
