Bookending twenty years of local "public" media and critical analysis

Posted by Mitchell - July 13, 2024 (entry 777)

Three things:

1. I had a busier-than-expected end of June, so I missed sending out this month's dispatch on its regularly scheduled date of July 2nd. My apologies for that.

2. On the topic of last month's dispatch on media and the model of a participatory economy, there is now a companion essay written for folks more familiar with the model. Do check it out.

3. On the cusp of the 20th anniversary of the release Chicago Media Action's landmark study of WTTW's show "Chicago Tonight", we devote this month's dispatch to reviewing media analysis of local American "public" broadcasting, in 2004 and in 2024 -- "Analyzing local public broadcasting, then and now".
