Product Description
As federal funding for public broadcasting wanes and support from corporations and an elite group of viewers and listeners rises, public broadcasting's role as vox populi has come under threat. With contributions from key scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, this volume examines the crisis facing public broadcasting today by analyzing the institution's development, its present-day operations, and its prospects for the future. Covering everything from globalization and the rise of the Internet to key issues such as race and class to specific subjects such as advertising, public access, and grassroots radio, "Public Broadcasting and the Public Interest" provides a fresh and original look at a vital component of our mass media.

"Must read" for Public Radio fans August 13, 2005
This book is a must-have for public radio listeners who want to know the growing pains this particular branch of the radio industry went through. For radio fans in general, like myself, it's a detailed insight to what the industry as a whole could overcome and accomplish if smart, dedicated people really put the effort in. You can tell McCauley has spent time in front of a classroom, as the information (which non-radio fans could admittedly find dry) is well-researched, and equally well-presented. Highly recommended.
