A new book by Victor Pickard of the Annenberg School for Communication was cited. In it, Pickard argues that the government should fund a public media system to the tune of $30 billion, which “may seem large, but relative to the scale and type of problem—a first-order need on par with public health, a standing military, and other non-negotiable expenses, it is actually a modest proposal,” he writes.
