State Underfunds Public Broadcasting

Government support of public broadcasting is an issue in places you might not normally think about. Federal funding has been an issue almost since its inception here with the Public Broadcasting act of 1967. The issue of the CPB's Community Service Grant here is political and partisan. Turns out the issues are the same in Estonia.

The researcher cited in the article also points out that commercial media needs to be more accountable for certain aspects of the public interest. Did somebody mention the Fairness Doctrine?
