The APA and The Media
In furtherance of the APA's stated objective of positively and accurately representing parkour to the wider community, members have been involved in numerous media appearances. In September 2007, members were involved in a high profile piece for 60 Minutes, which was broadcast nationally during Sunday prime time on Channel 9. Following the 60 Minutes piece, numbers at classes experienced an explosion. Many of the interviews with the APA were not included and the final piece was not as the APA had hoped and expected. In addition to this involvement, the APA has contributed to numerous newspaper, radio and local television features, at times being the central focus.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
