Review * "This quiet, intense picture book is about the small actions that can haunt. . . . Woodsons spare, eloquent free verse and Lewis beautiful, spacious watercolor paintings tell a story for young kids that will touch all ages." — Booklist, starred review"Unfolds with harsh beauty and the ominousness of opportunities lost. . . . The matter-of-fact tone of Chloes narration paired against the illustrations visual isolation of Maya creates its own tension. . . . Lewis dazzles with frame-worthy illustrations, masterful use of light guiding readers emotional responses." — Kirkus Reviews* "Always on-target navigating difficulties in human relationships, Woodson teams up with Lewis to deal a blow to the pervasive practice–among students of all economic backgrounds–of excluding those less fortunate. . . . Lyrical and stylistically tight writing act in perfect counterpoint to the gentle but detailed watercolor paintings. . . . Gives opportunity for countless inferences and deep discussion . . . invite[s] readers to pause, reflect, and empathize. . . . With growing income disparity, and bullying on the rise, this story of remorse and lost opportunity arrives none too soon." — School Library Journal, starred review* "Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance. . . . Woodson . . . again brings an unsparing lyricism to a difficult topic." — Publishers Weekly, starred review"Woodsons fluid writing and deft particularity makes the girls bullying rebuffs of Maya absolutely heartbreaking. . . . In his watercolors, Lewis embraces the effects of light like an Impressionist, while his creative, often cinematic uses of point of view add resonance to the story. . . . Offers an alternative view to rosier stories of forgiveness and bully-victim friendships." — The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books"Beautifully heartbreaking . . . sure to touch a tender spot. . . . The situation should resonate with young people who are sure to recognize themselves in either Chloe or Maya. Lovely watercolors perfectly complement this simple yet strong story." — Library Media Connection"Woodsons affecting story, with its open ending, focuses on the withholding of friendship rather than outright bullying, and Lewis reflects the pensive mood in sober watercolors . . . in subtly detailed portraits. . . . A good conversation starter." — The Horn Book Prizes Winner of Jane Addams Childrens Book Award (Bks for Younger Children) 2013 Winner of Charlotte Zolotow Award 2013 Commended for Coretta Scott King Award (Author) 2013 Commended for Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens (Seven to Ten) 2013 Commended for Parents Choice Awards (Fall) (2008-Up) (Picture Book) 2012 Short-listed for California Young Reader Medal (Picture Bk/Older Reader) 2017 Short-listed for North Carolina Childrens Book Award (Picture Book) 2014 Short-listed for Pennsylvania Young Readers Choice Award (Grades K-3) 2014 Short-listed for Virginia Readers Choice Award (Primary) 2015 Short-listed for Golden Sower Award (Primary) 2015 Long Description As Laura Linder asserts, increased concentration of media ownership has resulted in the homogenization of public discourse. Packaged, commercialized messages have replaced the personalized and localized opinions necessary for the uninhibited marketplace of ideas envisioned in the First Amendment. Narrowcast outlets such as talk radio give vent to individual voices, but only to a limited, predefined audience. The media have led a social shift toward splintering and compartmentalization, away from pluralism and consensus. Public access television provides an alternative to this trend, requiring active public participation in the process of developing community-based programming through the dominant medium of television. Today, more than 2,000 public access television centers exist in the United States, producing more than 10,000 hours of original, local programming every week. But public access television remains underutilized, even as deregulation and growing interest in other telecommunications delivery systems pose a potential threat to the long-term viability of public access television. In this comprehensive review of the background and development of public access television, Linder offers all the information needed to understand the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings as well as the nuts and bolts of public access television in the United States. Must reading for students and scholars involved with mass media in the United States and professionals in the television field.
