He has taught film history and theory and the use of media for social change for the past thirty five years, and has been actively involved in the fields of community media, public access and participatory democratic media.

His work in this field has involved the start-up of the Dallas, Milwaukee and Manhattan cable access systems, as well as policy planning, system design, community ascertainment and system evaluation for a number of access organizations across the country. Most recently he served as the Interim Executive Director of Manhattan Neighborhood Network, the largest access facility in the country.
