Part of the problem is that radio and newspapers require payment and governments are loath to pay for even paper for flyers in many cases.


The US already has a federal law mandating Government Access Television, and many states have corresponding laws[1]. The costs for it are already built into our cable and other distribution costs.

Similarly, every state that I'm aware of has both a Public Access Radio station and carries NPR broadcasting.
