		Editorial integrity in public broadcasting programming is the responsible application by professional practitioners of a free and independent decision-making process which is ultimately accountable to the needs and interests of a well-informed citizenry.

	Public Broadcasting
		Public television filled many of the gaps left by commercial broadcasters by providing educational programming and sharp analysis of local political and cultural life to large audiences without commercial sponsorship.
		Neither the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 nor the creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting provided adequate funding for public television, even with viewers' contributions.
		These relationships raised lingering concerns about public broadcasting's ability to stay true to its educational mission when insufficient funding forces stations to court corporate supporters.

		Although federal contributions to public broadcasting via CPB are based on a matching grant formula, the limitations on such funding are currently determined by the amounts of federal funds authorized and appropriated for specific fiscal years.

		While public broadcasting has been expected to serve a variety of instructional, educational, and cultural interests, typically with programming that is not commercially viable, important subjects in the noncommercial arena have not attracted much financial support from traditional donors.

		One of the enduring legacies of John Gardner was his work promoting public television and radio, programming on non-commercial stations whose value is based on its merits not its market value.
		Congress experimented in funding programming for the new public stations in 1962 with the Education Television Facilities Act, but the early support for public stations was unorganized.
		The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a private, non-profit corporation managed by a nine-member board appointed by the President and approved by the Senate to funnel government support to public stations and producers nationwide.

		President Lyndon Johnson probably didn't have podcasting or peer-to-peer networks in mind when he signed the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, but his remarks on that occasion were prophetic nonetheless.
		And yet we are left nonetheless with the distinct impression, nearly four decades after the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act and especially as the digital era unfolds, that public broadcasting could be much more than it currently is—more inclusive, more interactive, and more attentive to local needs and interests.
		While it is only natural to be preoccupied with the fate of public broadcasting (especially in light of the recent attacks on the system from within CPB itself), other components of the noncommercial media must not be overlooked.

		The Corporation for Public Broadcasting or CPB is a private, nonprofit entity financed by Congress to ensure the vitality of public television and radio.
		Commercial broadcasting public affairs has become dumbed down and shallow, as they struggle to deal with the fact that they’re money losers for their corporate entities, and cable is all shouting all the time.
		The voice that’s missing here entirely is the public of this country, the people who support public broadcasting, the people who watch it, the people who want it in their communities.

	What's wrong with public broadcasting? by James MacGuire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Even Richard Nixon, who opposed much of the public affairs programming aired on public television (correctly considering it to be slanted against him), felt strongly that public broadcasting had an important educational mission to fulfill.
		Pack’s initiatives are constructive and deserve to be commended not least for their openness to talented new producers, but the fact that they have already fallen far behind schedule and will take three to seven years to produce and distribute raises questions about the bloated bureaucratic processes to which they are subject.
		Until public broadcasting signals that it can provide entertaining and demonstrably educational programming for television, the Internet, and the classroom, public broadcasting does not deserve to be treated as a sustainable enterprise.

		The assault on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and its associated entities, PBS, Public Broadcasting Service, and NPR, National Public Radio, is part of a broad range attack to dismantle and roll back a number of programs, some of them dating to the New Deal.
		The Speaker of the House says that PBS and NPR users are "a bunch of rich, upper-class people who want their toy to play with it." Public broadcasting, the Georgia Republican says, is "a sandbox for the elite." Before examining the present situation, it is important to give some background.
		As despised as NPR is, it is public television by far that has borne the brunt of right-wing vituperation.

	Graham Testimony - 07/20/99 Oped - Media Research Center
		But unlike the other television networks, PBS is instructed by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 to provide objectivity and balance in "all programming of a controversial nature." The other networks don't break the spirit of this law when they use their own airwaves to favor one political party over another.
		The public outrage at these practices should not be disposed through sterile statutory language with no more legal force than the original mandate for balance in the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act.
		The proper congressional response should be vigorous efforts to insure that public broadcasting is not just a partisan tool, being secretly used as a tax-funded political organizing base.

	Spokane Public Radio and Federal Funds
		The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 declared that the “encouragement and support of public telecommunications, while matters of importance for private and local development, are also of appropriate and important concern to the Federal Government.”
		At the signing, President LB Johnson noted that the creation of public broadcasting announced to the world that the United States “wants more than just material wealth, we in America have an appetite for excellence, too.
		To protect the creative and information venture, the act created a private corporation to act as a barrier from “extraneous interference and control.” The CPB takes its appropriations from the federal government and gives 95 percent of that money to support local radio stations, programming, and improvements to the public broadcasting system as a whole.

		According to public radio producer and consultant Nan Rubin, many public stations are not interested in reaching audiences outside their familiar demographic base.
		To this end, many public radio stations adhere to the philosophy of audience researchers like David Giovannoni, whose Audience Research Analysis firm "holds contracts with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Public Radio, Public Radio International and almost every major NPR member station in the country," according to the New York Times (11/11/01).
