Paper Tiger Television Archive

Paper Tiger Television is a non-profit, volunteer-based video collective founded in 1981, which has produced weekly public access television programming that critiques media, culture, and politics. This particular episode features Ynestra King, a feminist teacher, writer, and oral historian, reading Seventeen magazine. In the 1982 interview, King tries to expose how the publication's superficial and commercial based message to teen girls leaves them without the necessary tools for identity-based empowerment and can ultimately isolate special needs and minority teen groups. 

 

Gay USA Video Recordings

The Gay USA Collection contains over 500 recordings of the hour-long weekly news program Gay USA which airs on the Manhattan News Network. Gay USA was created in the early 1980s by gay activist and video producer Lou Maletta, who also founded the Gay Cable Network (GCN) in 1982. The program covers LGBT current events and issues, often including interviews and special events.
