Publisher Synopsis
?McCourt has written a very intelligent book. Not only does he tell us everything we need to know about the twists and turns of organization and financing at NPR since its founding in 1970, but his one- or two-paragraph explications of such issues as the role of private philanthropy in American history or the impact of the Progressive movement on all subsequent reformist policies are marvels of concise summary of the key concepts involved....This book will undoubtedly remain the definitive book on NPR for some time.?-Canadian Journal of Communication Read more...
