  • 8:30 - 10:00 that is just scary...i cant believe people like were and are running the business end of mass-media conglomerates

  • thank you for posting these. i have watched these seminars since i was a little girl. they still show them from time to time on PBS and i watch them whenever i can. is there a way to purchase these on DVD? This is from the Ethics in America series right? I so love PBS! and thank you again for posting these. i'm a huge Fred Friendly fan =o)

  • Please forgive my belated response but I've only now just read your reply, "anywhereyouare".  I still stand by my assertion that "network" news outlets are mere "shills" for their commercial sponsors. I can't see how "the public interest" is served by celebrity gossip, anyway. The viewers aren't that "shallow". On the contrary. It is, to be sure, the networks, who take well-intentioned-reporters and heavily edit the things they're allowed to broadcast for public consumption.

  • The transformation of news to entertainment is obviously happening but it still serves the public and has relevance to not only commercial but popular interest too. This change is perpetuated by commercial need, but by our consumerist society's needs as well.

  • News serves the purpose of what you're saying on some level, but you can't expect a news anchor to go through his life believing that what he does is a complete commodity. They don't work under completely false pretenses because they do serve the public interest, it's just that the public interest happens to be mainly shallow and based on consumer needs.

  • I found this "forum" to be completely wierd because they were all avoiding the main objective behind why they broadcast the "news", in the first place. "News" is an entertainment medium, period. It's a tool that they manipulate to suit their commercial sponsors. That's all. Any pretense toward public-service and "truth" is just so much palaver. It's totally cosmetic, like their "forum".

  • Interesting questioning technique, interesting video overall, thanks for posting it.
