"Nearly as soon as television began to enter American homes in the late 1940s, social
activists recognized that it was a powerful tool for shaping the nation's views. By
targeting broadcast regulations and laws, both liberal and conservative activist groups
have sought to influence what America sees on the small screen. Public Interests describes
the impressive battles that these media activists fought and charts how they tried
to change the face of American television. Allison Perlman looks behind the scenes
to track the strategies employed by several key groups of media reformers, from civil
rights organizations like the NAACP to conservative groups like the Parents Television
Council. While some of these campaigns were designed to improve the representation
of certain marginalized groups in television programming, as Perlman reveals, they
all strove for more systemic reforms, from early efforts to create educational channels
to more recent attempts to preserve a space for Spanish-language broadcasting. Public
Interests fills in a key piece of the history of American social reform movements,
revealing pressure groups' deep investments in influencing both television programming
and broadcasting policy. Vividly illustrating the resilience, flexibility, and diversity
of media activist campaigns from the 1950s onward, the book offers valuable lessons
that can be applied to current battles over the airwaves."--Publisher's description
