Description:
The official newsletter of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) -- the predecessor to NPR, PBS, the CPB. Led primarily by faculty and staff at large Midwestern universities, the NAEB envisioned uses of broadcasting to improve society and educate both children and adults. The newsletter chronicles the NAEB's activities in advocating to the FCC for educational stations to obtain greater access to the public airwaves, coordinating the distribution of educational recordings, and planning the production of ambitious programs, such as 'People Under Communism' and 'The Jeffersonian Heritage,' which starred Claude Rains as Thomas Jefferson. This newsletter was digitized as part of the 'Unlocking the Airwaves' project, a collaboration among the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Wisconsin Historical Society, with funding from the NEH. -- Stephanie Sapienza & Eric Hoyt, 2019.

It gives the constructional details on how to “Use Your TV Set as a Oscilloscope,” which we described briefly in the August, 1957 Newsletter and the subsequent September Engineering Newsletter. Congratulations, Glen! We hope this will inspire others at educational stations to follow your example. We’d like to see more of our technical personnel participating in the activities of professional engineer¬ ing societies, presenting papers at their meetings and contributing to their journals. 14 NEWSLETTER
