Description: Grassroots Democracy and the Internet Opening Title: In 0:00:31, Out 0:01:22 Discussion: In 0:01:23, Out 0:59:52 Discussion of how Internet access can help democratic institutions, promote public discourse, and assist citizens. There are some failures and areas that need improvement. Internet allows alternative viewpoints to be heard but commercial viewpoints still dominate and have more resources. Access to the Internet can be controlled by cable monopoly policies and ISP policies. Pricing of cable service can also keep lower-income people from access. Citizens should challenge the government’s tendency to let businesses consolidate. The Internet is the most accessible form of media but TV still dominates in terms of influence.
