Administrative History Pacifica Radio Pacifica Foundation is an American non-profit organization which owns five independently operated, non-commercial, listener-supported radio stations known for their progressive/liberal political orientation: KPFA in Berkeley, California (inaugurated in 1949); KPFK in Los Angeles (1959); WBAI in New York City (1960); KPFT in Houston (1970); and WPFW in Washington, D.C. (1977) Pacifica Foundation also operates the Pacifica Network, a program service supplying over 180 affiliated stations with various programs, primarily news and public affairs. It was the first public radio network in the United States, and the world's oldest listener-funded radio network. Pacifica was founded in 1946 by pacifists E. John Lewis and Lewis Hill. During World War II, Hill, as well as Lewis, filed for conscientious objector status. After the war, Lewis, Hill and a small group of former conscientious objectors created the Pacifica Foundation in Pacifica, California. KPFA in Berkeley commenced broadcast activities in 1949. For most of its history, Pacifica gave each of its stations independent control of programming. During the 1990s, a major controversy arose over rumors that the Pacifica National Board and national staff were attempting to centralize control of content in order to increase audience. There were accusations that the board proposed changing the network's funding model away from a reliance exclusively on listener donations and toward a mix of listener donations and corporate foundation funding similar to that of NPR. There were also accusations that the Board was considering selling both KPFA and WBAI in New York City, which operate on commercial-band FM frequencies (94.1 and 99.5, respectively) worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Matthew Lasar Finding aid to the Matthew Lasar SFH 614 2 Papers on KPFA and Pacifica Foundation SFH 614 Matthew Lasar, PhD, was a reporter for KPFA's news department through most of the 1980s. He holds a doctorate in history from the Claremont Graduate School and teaches history and media courses at the University of California at Santa Cruz. In his book Pacifica Radio Lasar presents a study of the Pacifica Foundation's turbulent evolution from its pacifist origins to its current presence. He discusses the relationship between its first station, KPFA (1949), and its role in the political world around it, from World War II and McCarthyism, to its coverage of the Vietnam War, and the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley. His narrative weaves together interviews he has collected from KPFA contributors. Uneasy Listening tells the story of the epic battle over five listener supported radio stations that rocked the American Left and raised difficult questions about public broadcasting in the United States that have yet to be answered. Scope and Content The Matthew Lasar Papers on KPFA and Pacifica Foundation contain the research materials used for Lasar's books Pacifica Radio (1999) and Uneasy Listening (2006). The collection contains Pacifica Foundation by-laws, news articles, correspondence, clippings, memorandum, minutes, newsletters, reports, questionnaires, interview transcripts, station guides, reports, audio tapes of interviews and broadcast shows, VHS of demonstrations and broadcasts, and other AV materials. The collection is strong in materials about KPFA and contains some content about Pacifica's other stations. Significant to the collection are the interview transcripts and recordings of KPFA and Pacifica contributors. Interview transcripts found in the subseries 1.1 are mostly conducted by Lasar and have corresponding audio tapes. Interview transcripts found in series 2 are conducted either by Veronica Selver for the film KPFA on the Air or by Matthew Lasar. There are no tapes for the Veronica Selver transcripts. Not all interview transcripts have corresponding tapes and not all tapes have transcripts. Arrangement The collection is arranged in 4 series in original order, then alphabetical by subject or name. Series 1: Research Files, Series 2: Interview Transcripts, Series 3: Publications, Series 4: Audio Visual Media. Series 1 is further organized by Subseries 1.1: Pacifica Radio Research, Subseries 1.2: Uneasy Listening Research. Series 4 is further organized by Subseries 4.1: Audio Tapes, Subseries 4.2 VHS, Subseries 4.3 Slides, and Subseries 4.4 CD-Rs.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

ARTICLES THE IMPACT OF Pacifica FoundationON TWO TRADITIONS OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION STEPHEN W. GARD* AND JEFFREY ENDREssf I. INTRODUCTION T HERE EXIST IN THIS NATION TWO TRADITIONS of freedom of expression: "that of the written and spoken word and that of the broadcast word."' The contrast between these two traditions is extraordinary. The first has its 2 roots in the historic rejection of administrative licensing of the written word and the popular repudiation of the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798.3 This tradition regards prior restraints as virtually verboten4 and all governmental regulation of the content of expression as inherently suspect.5 In short, here freedom of speech is the rule and governmental regulation is an exception to be jealously confined within narrow, judicially defined, limits.
