Access
Understanding barriers to access has been long debated in relation to print media (raising concerns about education and social mobility) and telephony (centering on universal service provision to ensure social participation). It has posed fewer problems for audiovisual media, although today the diversification and commercialization of television channels puts universal participation in a shared culture and the provision of free-to-all public service content back on the agenda. In relation to new media, the digital divide debate examines the challenges of ensuring that ICT provision facilitates rather than undermines equality in education, participation and culture. As research on the domestic appropriation of ICT has revealed, access is a dynamic and social process, not a one-off act of hardware provision, to be evaluated in terms of the ongoing quality of provision in media content and services. Moreover, while it is becoming clear that media access underdetermines use, a more sophisticated account is required of how the two are linked. Much could be learned here from television literacy, where research shows that the social context in front of the screen frames and directs the nature of the engagement with and leaning from what is shown on the screen.
