Abstract

Radio: Tool of the Reactionaries
Siepmann, Charles A. | July 5, 1947 issue

add to cart   close window

A bill to revise the Communications Act of 1934 is currently being pushed through Congress with unseemly haste and little opportunity for responsible civic groups to prepare and present their point of view. The National Association of Broadcasters has seized the opportunity to press its case against the Federal Communications Commission and its infamous Blue Book on radio's public service responsibilities. The private station owners' brief opens with the time worn slogan about the peril to free speech offered by a monopoly.
