Public radio stands as a valued national institution, one whose
fans and listeners actively support it with their time and their
money. In this new history of this important aspect of American
culture, author Jack W. Mitchell looks at the dreams that inspired
those who created it, the all too human realities that grew out of
those dreams, and the criticism they incurred from both sides of
the political spectrum. As National Public Radio's very first
employee, and the first producer of its legendary "All Things
Considered," Mitchell tells the story of public radio from the
point of view of an insider, a participant, and a thoughtful
observer. He traces its origins in the progressive movement of the
20th century, and analyzes the people, institutions, ideas,
political forces, and economic realities that helped it evolve into
what we know as public radio today. NPR and its local affiliates
have earned their reputation for thoughtful commentary and
excellent journalism, and their work is especially notable in light
of the unique struggles they have faced over the decades. More than
any other book published on the subject, Mitchell's provides an
accurate guide to public radio's development, offering a balanced
analysis of how it has fulfilled much of its promise but has
sometimes fallen short. This comprehensive overview of their
mission will fascinate listeners whose enjoyment and support of
public radio has made it possible, and made it great.
