Statement of Andrew Jay Schwartzman to the Federal Communications Commission Workshop on the Future of Media and Information Needs of Communities: Serving the Public Interest in the Digital Era

摘要

I want to start as I have often begun my testimony at Commission and Congressional hearings. The best broadcasters in the United States do a superb job meeting the needs of their communities. Those are the broadcasters who come forward to serve as witnesses at events such as this. Today is no different; Albritton Communications does a terrific job serving the Washington, DC area and, in particular, has led the way in integrating cable and soon, with its new local web site, the Internet, into its public service mix. If every broadcaster did as good a job as Albritton, this country would be much better off.
