I've been working for a public media outlet in South Korea for over 15 years. I wanted to express my gratitude for your newsletter regarding public media and democracy.
Recently, the South Korean government and the ruling party have attempted to abolish the license fee for public media outlets under the guise of political freedom, arguing against mandatory payment.
I understand that your focus primarily lies within the American media landscape. Nevertheless, your words have provided me with a great deal of inspiration to persevere through these challenging times. I eagerly anticipate more of your insightful analysis on the media industry. Thank you.
The political and media-industrial complexes are too inextricably intertwined in the US. Getting public service media here is not unlike getting single-payer healthcare. We haven't the history, cultural DNA, or the political willl to make it happen.
