Carnegie’s Lemon? The Birth of NPR. Bennett, J. T. In The History and Politics of Public Radio: A Comprehensive Analysis of Taxpayer-Financed US Broadcasting, of Studies in Public Choice, pages 39–55. Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2021. ![Carnegie’s Lemon? The Birth of NPR [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Chapter 3examines the role of the Carnegie Commission on Educational Television, a blue-ribbon establishmentarian panel whose 1967 report was the template for the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. The Carnegie Commission's mixture of high-flown rhetoric and confident assertion of the necessity of federal support won the day over a disorganized and not terribly passionate opposition. Radio wasn't even an afterthought to the Carnegie commissioners, but savvy and determined activists, centered around the University of Michigan's campus radio station, achieved a landmark and rather surreptitious triumph with the late appending of “and radio” to wherever “television” appeared in the Johnson administration's draft legislation. They were aided by a hastily compiled study titled The Hidden Medium: A Status Report on Educational Radio in the United States, which had concluded that government subsidy was essential to the maintenance, not to mention flourishing, of the genre.
