<description><![CDATA[ (May 31, 2012) More than two decades ago, the Federal Communications Commission enacted the Children’s Education Act. The goal was to increase the amount of children’s educational programming on television. Since then, the airwaves have offered a variety of children’s television programs that aim to educate as well as entertain. Some shows even try and use television to make better readers. But have they succeeded? For Front &amp; Center, our collaboration with WBEZ Chicago, Anthony Martinez has the story.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17247/20110303/slu-hosts-screening-of-quot-mrs-goldberg-quot-documentary</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 3, 2011) She won the first &quot;Best Actress&quot; Emmy Award, garnered a Tony Award and was a broadcasting pioneer.  Gertrude Berg is credited with inventing the first television sitcom in 1949.  She was principal writer and star of &quot;The Goldbergs&quot;, a popular radio and TV show in the 1940&apos;s and 50&apos;s.  Todd Moe talks with filmmaker Aviva Kempner, whose work investigates non-stereotypical images of Jews in history and celebrates the under known stories of Jewish heroes. Kempner says Berg was the Oprah of her day, but many of her contributions to show business have been forgotten.  Aviva Kempner will host a screening of the documentary film &quot;Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg,&quot; at St. Lawrence University tonight at 7 p.m. in Room 218 of Hepburn Hall. Free admission.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/13696/20090608/the-shaky-future-of-news-who-pays</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 8, 2009) Auto manufactures aren&apos;t the only industry in crisis.  There&apos;s also a near melt-down in news media.  The ways people get information—who pays?  and how?—have all changed dramatically.  With ad revenue in a severe slump, there&apos;s a mad scramble for a funding formula that lets news as we know it survive. The story is much the same in Canada, although some details differ.  The latest revenue skirmish in Canadian broadcasting pits TV stations against cable companies over something called fee-for-carriage.  Lucy Martin has more.
