L □ □□□«* OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS Representing non-commercial, educational AM, FM, and TV broadcasting stations, workshops, and production centers, owned and operated by colleges, universities, school systems, and public service agencies. JUNE 1952 FOUNDATION GRANTS AND SPECIAL PROJECTS C' FUND FOR ADULT EDUCATION MAKES GRANT TO NAEB FOR LOCAL PROGRAMING The Fund for Adult Education has set aside $80,000 for grants-in-aid to be distributed by NAEB to educational institutions to assist them in planning and producing educa¬ tional radio and television programs* purpose of the Grant Outlined A letter to NAEB Executive Director James Miles from the President of the Fund for Adult Education, C. Scott Fletcher, describes the grant. After stating that the $300,000 Lowell grant was expected to “set standards for educational broadcasting everywhere,” Fletcher said it was the Fund’s "view that high quality programming at low, out-of-pocket cost is the pattern that holds most promise in educational tele¬ vision •” Accordingly he asked that the NAEB Executive Director and his ‘’associates in the NAEB ,,,evaluate the resources and technical skills of the several institutions which may be interested in having some financial assistance in pro graining,” Fletcher spec¬ ifically declared! “It would be as suited that institutions which are not members of NAEB would be considered equally eligible for such grants,” Top Limit; $7,000 Radio; $9*000 Television The FAE President also said: “We have earmarked for use this year $35,000 for radio and °00fortelevision. It is our general view that a grant-in-aid to an educational institution £°r plan g and producing a series of content-oriented radio programs should not ri ^_ than $7,000* In television, where an educational institution and a c ommercial televis station each make inportant contributions to a series of content-oriented programs, our view is that the grant-in-aid should not be larger than $9,000* "You will recognize, I am sure, our hope that these grants will make the difference between routine broadcasts and carefully planned, adequately researched, well written quality programs in specific subject areas. It would be our expectation, too, that radio series thus produced would be made available to many educational stations through the tape network, and that through this device the,, program services of edu¬ cational stations would be measurably enriched,” WATCH FOR NEWS OF THE NAEB 1952 CONVENTION—NOVEMBER 6-7-8 The N-A-E-B NEWS-LETTER, published monthly, is distributed from the national headquarters office at the University of Illinois .
