Extractions: In Defense of Community Radio By Jerold Starr, Executive Director All listeners are not equal. While we need to pay some attention to discretionary income, we should be more concerned with depth of attachment and educational value derived. There is a profound difference between radio that is played as background or accompaniment to other activities and radio that creates an active community of listeners. The former has superficial audiences, the latter committed publics...

Extractions: PUBLIC RADIO IN SOUTH DAKOTA The history of Public Broadcasting in South Dakota traces its roots to KUSD (AM), now silent. This station was one of the oldest educational radio stations in the United States. These call letters and its first license for regular programming were granted on May 27, 1922, although the station held earlier licenses dating back several years. Student E.O. Lawrence (who later won a Nobel Prize in Physics) and USD Dean Lewis Akeley were largely responsible for putting this historic station on the air. In the 1970's and 1980's, the South Dakota Public Radio Network built and now operates nine radio stations and ten radio translators across the state. Although the television stations were constructed first, every site and tower was designed for the eventual addition of an FM radio transmitter and antenna. This vision was culminated in 1991 when the last of the nine radio stations began transmitting from the Long Valley site. Programming is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the Vermillion studios of KUSD (FM), National Public Radio (NPR) and other outstanding program providers. The primary objective of the radio broadcasting service is to provide programs of a general educational, informational, and cultural nature. Listen to a Conversation with Martin Busch, former General Manager who was instrumental in building SDPB as we know it today.

Extractions: What Media Corporations Dont Tell You About Their Legislative Agendas The giant media corporations of today are special interests in their own right, with unique legislative agendas that they push on Capitol Hill and in the offices of federal regulators. The companies that dominate the airwaves and purvey the news in print are little different from any other industry. They spend millions on campaign contributions. They fly lawmakers and regulators around the world on all-expenses-paid junkets. They hire a whos who of former congressional staffers, members, and FCC officials to plead their cases in the nations capitol. And more often than not, they get what they want, which is why media corporations are widely regarded as the most powerful special interest in Washington. Download the complete report in PDF format.
