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:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
