Funding Sesame Street - a comment

[Tom Hendricks]

Though I support funding for NPR/ PBS etc. there is this that you should know. As the editor of the 20 year old zine Musea, the founder of a Zine Hall of Fame, and a reviewer for Zine World since it’s beginning, I have to say this on behalf of all zinesters:

PBS and NPR have certainly never supported zines or the zine community. That’s the bulk of publishing, and the last golden age of publishing before the net took over. How can PBS and NPR miss an entire generation of thousands of publishers and call that fair?

Using that logic,you could say that Democracy Now and KBOO are also unfair.Plus,William S burrough's,who also never supported zines.You could level that "unfair" accusation at alot of people.It doesn't make sense.NPR report's on international new's,the BBC,Classical music,the art's,and thing's of interest to a huge audience.Maybe they haven't reported on zines because their cultural impact is too limited.
