Hollywood celebrities and First Amendment advocates are decrying the third anniversary of the death of public access television in the media capitol of the world: Los Angeles. But there is a glimmer of hope in a satellite city of LA. The City of Long Beach is re-constituting public access in their city, operated by a government funded poverty organization: the Long Beach Community Action Partnership. Promoted by their Executive Director Darick Simpson, will this be the opportunity for free expression as public access was originally designed? Or will the government entities funding this project force Mr. Simpson to control, censor, or limit the freedom of expression?
