Review
“[An] insightful history of the first three decades of public radio's national organization....”–
“This is an extremely well written text, amply demonstrating literary mastery. It is refreshingly concise and tightly focused, no small achievement considering the range of elements McCourt addresses....The text is undoubtedly the best of its kind in recent years about defining social, institutional, and political realities characterizing public radio since the early 1980s....It is a must read for any consultant working for a broadcasting company.”–
“McCourt has written a very intelligent book. Not only does he tell us everything we need to know about the twists and turns of organization and financing at NPR since its founding in 1970, but his one- or two-paragraph explications of such issues as the role of private philanthropy in American history or the impact of the Progressive movement on all subsequent reformist policies are marvels of concise summary of the key concepts involved....This book will undoubtedly remain the definitive book on NPR for some time.”–
