    The media field began evolving in the 1960s with the introduction of portable videotape technology, increased public support for arts and humanities projects, and the radical counter-cultural movement; New York State hosted early media activity in the United States, with over thirty media organizations active in the upstate region during 1968-1980. Groups operated with organizational strategies ranging from individual to collective; media makers produced documentaries, narratives, conceptual and image-processed video work for cable and television and for regional, community and art venues. The page includes links to group profiles, advocacy and service listings, and a New York State groups map.
