CPB NOMINEES PRAISE PUBLIC BROADCASTING
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
We come hear to praise public broadcasting, not bury it. At their confirmation hearing in the US Senate Thursday, former Sen David Pryor and magazine publisher Chris Boskin, nominees for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board, praised public broadcasting and voiced commitment to its mission. Pryor said the common themes in public broadcasting are fairness, objectivity, tolerance, knowledge, education, balance, perspective, and entertainment. He called them the hallmarks of a service that is the "great fabric of the American landscape." Pryor said he brings "no agenda," or much broadcast expertise.
