  • PUBLIC BROADCASTING: a MEDIUM in SEARCH of SOLUTIONS John W
    PUBLIC BROADCASTING: A MEDIUM IN SEARCH OF SOLUTIONS JoHN W. MACY, JR.* INTRODUCTION In its simplest and most comprehensive definition, a communications system is a process in which creative communicators become aware of the expressed and some- times unexpressed needs of the users of the system and responsively collect and provide information, entertainment, and other resources toward the satisfaction of these needs. Despite the often quoted and now popular belief that in electronic com- munications systems "the medium is the message,"' the design of a system in which the message is itself the message-and the medium is merely a means of delivering a diversity of messages of intrinsic value to the users-is a mandate for radio and television in the decade of the 1970s. This is one of the basic philosophies behind the approach of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) as it builds and develops the public sector of broadcasting. Some time ago Robert Oppenheimer was quoted as saying, "What is new is new not because it has never been there before, but because it has changed in quality."2 This is surely what is new about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But to understand the nature and direction of the qualitative changes brought about by its creation and activities, it is necessary to look first at what was there before and how the Corporation came into being. I BACKGROUND OF PUBLIC BROADCASTING Over the past fifty years, the American public, through its elected representatives and otherwise, has made a series of choices to encourage the development of a public alternative in the field of communications.

  • Community Challenged to Support Education Gifts to WNED | WBFO March 5 Matched to the Teacher’S Desk by Five Star
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb. 26, 2019 WNED ǀ WBFO Media Contact: Heather Hare Dir., Corporate Communications (716) 845.7155 • [email protected] Community Challenged to Support Education Gifts to WNED | WBFO March 5 Matched to The Teacher’s Desk by Five Star On Tuesday, March 5, donations to WNED | WBFO will make double the impact on our community, thanks to WNED | WBFO’s Community Challenge, sponsored by Five Star Bank, benefitting The Teacher’s Desk. Five Star Bank will match each donation to WNED | WBFO with an equal gift to The Teacher’s Desk, a store where educators receive free books, school supplies, and many other teacher resources for the students in their classrooms. WNED | WBFO and Five Star Bank have teamed up in this Community Challenge to inspire Western New York and Southern Ontario to make a difference for their public broadcasting stations while also helping teachers provide much-needed educational resources to their students. The Teacher’s Desk was founded by John Mika, a retired autoworker who was working as a substitute teacher in urban and suburban Catholic schools. He saw a stark difference in classroom supplies between city and suburban schools and decided that every child deserved the same access to supplies, regardless of where they attended school. Since October 2011, the organization and its volunteer team has distributed more than $10 million of supplies to teachers at schools throughout Western New York. “We are excited to partner with two great educational resources in our community – WNED | WBFO and The Teacher’s Desk,” said Martin K. Birmingham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Five Star Bank.

  • 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.
