PBS's Geoff Daniels on the Broadcaster's Funding Crisis: "We're Vetting Every Single Dollar"

Summary

PBS's Geoff Daniels reflects on a devastating year for the broadcaster following the White House's 2024 decision to end federal funding for NPR and PBS, which he describes as a "calamitous" crackdown on public media. Speaking at Sunny Side of the Doc, Daniels details how PBS is now scrutinizing every expense ("vetting every single dollar") to survive the loss of taxpayer subsidization. The article also features commentary from Arte France's Editorial Director Boris Razon, who warns that the very concept of a public media space is at risk of disappearing.
