A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: It was a bona-fide grilling on Capitol Hill, as Corporation for Public Broadcasting chairman Kenneth Tomlinson faced a bipartisan third-degree at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on July 11th. But when this round of political fireworks over public broadcasting ends, will PBS and NPR be better or worse for wear? The outlook may be closer to the latter, as nobody in D.C. is calling for fundamental reforms of the public broadcasting system, on either the funding or oversight fronts.
This program is free to all to air, but we'd love to hear from you if you do. Feel free to e-mail mediaminutes@freepress.net so that we know where the program is being heard. Thanks!
