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.

Leonard Marks January 1956 After the rather exhaus¬ tive report in last month’s N ewsletter . this one will be relatively brief. Thanks to the many of you who took the time to drop a note saying how pleased you were to be brought up to date on recent activities and contacts of the NAEB. I attended the Affiliates’ Meeting of the ETRC on Sunday night and Monday, the 15th and 16th of April, in Columbus. I do not believe that I am the one who can best report on relations with the Center in general but I should like to say that their program planning, and the publications which they will soon be putting out as a part of their responsibility for the promotion of educational television nationally, is a story full of imagination and great energy, supported by adequate finds and staff to do this job. One of the more interesting announcements made at this meeting was that Ken Christiansen will be joining the Center staff July 1 on a permanent basis. Others being added, in the enlargement of the program staff from three to six, are Gordon Gray, Don Feddersen, Ken Wright and Milo Ryan-all these on
