Radio general managers and news directors in the United States: A descriptive analysis

Abstract

A national survey of radio station general managers and news directors explored their demographic characteristics and stands on social issues. News directors’ support for a national health care program, their lack of support for unregulated business, their lack of trust in private enterprise to look out for the workers’ welfare, and their less negative view of labor unions may be explained through their own experience, as well as those of their newsroom employees.
