According to recent reports, rapper 50 Cent selected ABC News for his latest interview partly because ABC is among the few TV channels still accessible to incarcerated individuals. This means that prisoners across the country could listen in on his statements, giving him a broader way to communicate,

not just with mainstream audiences, but with people in prison who he may be trying to reach or support. By doing so, 50 Cent appears to be using his platform to speak directly to those often excluded from public media access.
