In the 1970s and 1980s, my father, Sam Merrill, had an interview segment on a local radio show in New York City: Direct News. When he passed away, he left a crate full of vinyl records, each with a radio show on it. I’m digitizing and archiving his interview segments here.
In this segment, my dad interviews Cornell sociologist Dr. Rose Goldsen about how media constructs its audience—and how children’s television created ‘literate’ consumers.
