“Point of View: Now Is Not the Time to Cut Funding for Public Broadcasting,” POV, BU Today

Abstract

President Trump’s proposed budget threatens to pull the plug on federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the major funder of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) programming and National Public Radio (NPR) and the supporter of 350 local member public television stations. This proposed cut will do very little to fix the US budget deficit, but it will contribute mightily to the shortage of reliable public information available to citizens at a time when they need it most.http://www.bu.edu/articles/2017/pov-funding-for-public-broadcasting/Published versio
