3. Access to the Campus Press
4. The Campus Press--Underground or Aboveground?
5. A Letter to the Editor
6. Access Through Congress?
7. The Media--Within or Beyond the First Amendment
8. Marcuse, Mill, and Agnew
9. The Search for an Audience

11. Broadcasting--The Half-Opened Media
12. Broadcasters and Controversy
13. The Roar of Red Lion: The Rights of the Viewer
14. The Unfairness of Fairness
15. The Movement for Access to Television
16. The Rise of Citizen Groups
17. Media, Pa.: A Success for the Citizen Group?
18. Three That Almost Made a Revolution--Access and Concentration of Ownership in the Media
19. The Petition to Deny--A Weapon for the Citizen Group?
20. The Citizen Group at Work
21. CATV: Instant Access or Not?
22. Access for What?
23. The Media Look at Access
24. The Future of Access to the Media
Of course, the Internet now provides a modicum of access to the public for ordinary people. But it is a squeek next to the roar of TV, movies and the New York publishing industry.
It would be nice to have a updated second edition of this extraordinarily important book, but this book as it stands provides an exhaustive list of the possibilities.
