How does a government access channel differ from a public or educational access channel?
Government access channels differ from public and educational access channels in some important ways. Unlike Public Access channels, government channels are granted editorial rights to choose the manner, format, and type of information to be disseminated to the public. Unlike Educational Access Channels, government channels selectively offer legislative information to the general community. Realizing how impractical it would be to format and distribute the entire information available, local governments highlight on the channel what they feel are the mort relevant points for residents. The basic idea is to attract viewers to learn more about what local governments have to offer and to encourage greater citizen participation.
