description: 
Moderated by Barry Satlow. Jurek Martin begins by stating that television has a large public service element in it, but is somewhat both a public and private service. Martin talks about television in three different countries – Britain, Japan, and United States – based on his experiences. Mose Durst discusses religion and media. Durst states how television has been used as an instrument of bigotry rather than public service and enlightenment. Roger Ebert talks about how television as a medium is an inefficient way to communicate political, religious, and philosophical ideas because television has abandoned words for images. Both Durst and Ebert believe that television is not a public service.
