Who was Who in Public Broadcasting
Every year, the publication Oldtimers Newsletter publishes a Roll of Honor list. This list recognizes people no longer living but "whose pioneering and significant contributions, service, and achievements helped forge the U.S. educational and public radio, television and telecommunications enterprise for today and tomorrow."
The National Public Broadcasting Archives has started an ambitious project to create biographical web pages on all of the honorees. This is a work in progress, so visitors to this page will notice that many of the names are not linked yet. If anybody has anecdotes, comments or corrections they wish to share, they can contact the Acting Curator, Karen King at krin@umd.edu.
