Rodney Benson associate professor in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, discusses the political and cultural fallout of defunding National Public Radio (NPR) in The Christian Science Monitor’s Opinion column.
Benson argues that research on public media in other democracies shows that public radio and television deserve support.
“The highest quality, most independent public media systems – such as those in Germany, Britain, and the Scandinavian countries – tend to be those that can rely on a steady, substantial stream of public funding,” he writes.
Benson views public media as “an engine for democracy,” a benefit, he believes that should resonate with lawmakers across the political spectrum.
