Russian Journalists Discover Power of Public Access cable channels and the First Amendment. The Full Disclosure Network's174; presents a fifteen-minute video featuring five visiting Russian journalists and a number of prominent U.S. political authorities. The Russians questioned Full Disclosure Producers Leslie Dutton and T. J.

The Russian journalists's tour in the United States was sponsored by the Library of Congress Open World program and facilitated by the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles.

For the past 25 years public access cable channels have enabled independent producers--like Full Disclosure--an opportunity to provide alternative and critical viewpoints in stark contrast to the mainstream media. At the end of December, it is expected the City of Los Angeles, by default, will allow cable television operators to shut down the public access channels and studios.

The Special Report also reveals candid reactions from each of the Russian journalists after they learned of Full Disclosure programs exposing government conflicts and failed public policies. Examples of encounters with authorities are featured in the video.
