The History & Future of Public Media

Public media was created as an antidote to the “vast wasteland” of commercial media in the 1960s.

Now, that vision is being challenged by an administration that wants to zero out funding for public media. What does this mean for the future of journalism? What does the future hold for stations like Spokane Public Radio?
