Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. First edition. First printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. xi+ 237 pp. with index. Newton Minow, JFK's FCC Chairman and co-author Craig LaMay postulate that commercial interests dominating television have abandoned our children to a wadteland of vacuous, often violent, and openly comsumerist televison programming. The industry claims the Constitutional right to broadcast whatever they wish but the authors persuasively demonstrate that this is a galse applicationnof the First Amendment. Though published in 1995, a work that is as relevant today as it was then.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Autograph; 232 pages; Inscribed and Signed by Newton Minow on ffep to W. Willard Wirtz, Secretary of Labor for the last year of President Kennedy's administration and during President Lyndon Johnson 's administration and a speech writer for Adlai Stevenson during his presidential campaign. Clean and tight in original gray cloth in dustjacket. Newton Norman Minow (born January 17, 1926) is an American attorney and former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. His speech referring to television as a "vast wasteland" is cited even as the speech has passed its 50th anniversary. While still maintaining a law practice, Minow is currently the Honorary Consul General of Singapore in Chicago. Minow has been active in Democratic party politics. He is an influential attorney in private practice concerning telecommunications law and is active in many non-profit, civic, and educational institutions. Minow became one of the most well known and respected if sometimes controversial political figures of the early 1960s because of his criticism of commercial television. In a speech given to the National Association of Broadcasters convention on May 9, 1961, he was extremely critical of television broadcasters for not doing more, in Minow's view, to serve the public interest. His phrase, "vast wasteland", is remembered years after the speech after he said," When television is good, nothing not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland."; Signed by One Author; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.

6.75' x 9' one page, single-sided typewritten letter, Federal Communications Commission letterhead, FCC blindstamp, signed by FCC Chairman Newton N. Minow, dated August 22, 1961. Stapled to the letter is an 8.5' x 11' four page, double-sided copy of Minow's first major speech as FCC Chairman after being appointed by John F. Kennedy, printed in the 1961 Congressional Record, signed and inscribed by Minow at bottom of first page. The speech, 'Television and the Public Interest,' was addressed to the National Association of Broadcasters, and is famous for Minow's description of commercial television programming as a 'vast wasteland,' bemoaning the 'procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence,' etc. while praising programs like The Twilight Zone and the variety specials by Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. Very Good, a few small discolorations, two side binder holes.
