SUBJECT: Breakfast with network correspondents This breakfast, at 8:45 a.m. Dec. 8 in the First Floor Private Dining Room, will consist of an hour of back­ ground briefin0, not-for-broadcast, not-for-quotation, for a dozen network correspondents. The three TV networks will be represented, but the briefing has been aimed at radio. All are White House regulars. Obviously Iran will be the chief topic of discussion, and perhaps you will w.ant to continue to hammer on the theme that the safe release of the hostages is paramount. I suspect you will also get some political questions. Lesley Stahl might ask about the Kennedy campaign staff's recent "whine session," as it was described by two Washington Post �eporters who were there. In this session, we gather, you were accused of "muzzling" all other candidates with the Irarr issue while privately pursuing "ward politics." The response we have been giving -- strictly on background -- is that we have never asked anyone to stop campaigning.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Research Division Report
    Arts and Cultural Programs on Radio and Television PREFACE Early in 1976, the Research Division of the National Endowment for the Arts requested competitive proposals for a planning study aimed at a national survey of arts and cultural programming on commercial and public radio and television. This project was requested by the Public Media Program. The proposal from Research and Programming Services was selected. This small media research con­ sulting firm had been extensively involved in the analysis of program content and audience analysis for a number of organizations in the public broadcasting industry and had extensive knowledge of the various television audience measurement systems at the outset of the project. Plans to follow up this planning study with a national survey have been dropped, partly because of major changes in personnel and program emphasis in the Public Media Program (now called Media Arts). The extensive material collected during this planning study, however, can be so helpful in understanding the decision-making processes on arts and cultural subjects in the media that this condensation of the final report has been prepared for general distribution. This study presents information on the following questions: How is the phrase "arts and cultural programming" understood by key executives? What terminology is used to describe the lroadcasting that includes significant programming about arts and cultural subjects? What kinds of programs are designated by the broad­ casting industry as arts and cultural? How do the funds
