What is Paper Tiger Television?

Paper Tiger has been creating fun, funky, hard-hitting, investigative, compelling and truly alternative media since 1981! The programs produced at PTTV have inspired media-savvy community productions and activism around the world. Our archive includes shows that provide critical analysis of media, educate about the communications industry and highlight issues that are absent from mainstream information sources. Through the distribution of our short documentary programs, media literacy/video production workshops, community screenings and grassroots advocacy, PTTV works to expose and challenge the corporate control of media. Because of the bias and misrepresentation of issues in mainstream media it is critical to include diverse perspectives in the process of making media. PTTV strives to increase awareness of how media can be used to affect social change. A public that can strategically and creatively use the media is necessary for a more equitable and healthy democracy.

PAPER TIGER TELEVISION WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE A SCREENING OF RIGHT TO THE CITY IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Screenings of the documentary are designed to be an organizing tool to educate people about the RTTC movement, how it affects the members of your community and how to get involved. We can provide a projector, help with publicity and outreach and arrange a Q&A or a panel discussion with filmmakers and RTTC alliance members.
