TOM McCOURT is Assistant Professor of Communications at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
Book Synopsis
Examines National Public Radio and its prospects for survival and success.
Booknews
According to McCourt (communications, U. of Illinois-Springfield), public broadcasting's history in the US "more often than not resembles a tragedy leavened with farce." Internal warfare threatens the system, as well as perennial political attacks on continuing appropriations for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The author discusses its development; and the issues and data of funding, sources of programming, target audience, and commercial vs. noncommercial radio systems in the context of what he considers to be an international crisis in public broadcasting.
