美国的公共广播无论是从公共政策上,还是资金模式上都和世界其它各国的公共广播甚为不同,它的优点和缺点都表现在资金模式和相关的立法政策上。缺乏宽松有力的政策支持和充裕稳定的资金来源是美国公共广播发展的最大障碍,如果想改变公共广播目前的边缘性地位,使之真正发挥促进公共讨论和构建民主社会的潜能,政策和资金模式改革是必由之路。 The public broadcasting in the United States is very different from the public broadcasting of other countries in the world both in public policy and in funding. Its advantages and disadvantages are manifested in its funding model and related legislative policies. Lack of loose policy support and ample sources of funding are the single biggest obstacle to the development of public address broadcasting in the United States. If we want to change the current marginal status of public address so that it can truly play its potential, policy and funding model for promoting public discussion and building a democratic society Reform is the only way.
