The Decline and Fall of Public Broadcasting | Praise

“A slim powderkeg of a book.”
—KWGS Radio, Tulsa, Oklahoma

“[A] must-read for alternative media activists and supporters.”
What's Up Magazine

“[A] short, incisive dissection of a problem most American media consumers probably haven't even noticed. Barsamian…makes a powerful argument that not only have private, corporate media been wholly co-opted by monied interests, but so have National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System.”
Daily Camera, Boulder, Colorado

“David Barsamian is one of the great journalists of our era, and a giant of community and public radio. The National Radio Project is among the most important independent sources for broadcast journalism in the nation.”
—Robert McChesney, author of Rich Media, Poor Democracy

“In The Decline and Fall of Public Broadcasting, David Barsamian not only shows us how we can take steps together to achieve a more democratic media, but how urgent it is that we do.”
—Amy Goodman, from the foreword

“David Barsamian is the Studs Terkel of our generation.”
—Howard Zinn
