In this paper, the author looks at the problems facing progressives and those on the political left in the US in participating in political analysis and debate in mainstream journalism and the news media. He focuses on radio broadcasting, as this is where much of political discussion takes place in the US. Radio broadcasting is the least expensive of the media for production and reception, is ubiquitous, has adapted itself to the Internet, and is uniquely suited for locally based programming. He leaves aside the matter of the Internet, as this is an issue he addresses in detail elsewhere; while the digital revolution is of indubitable importance, it does not alter my basic argument appreciably. He also stays away from television, cable TV news networks in particular. While those channels are important, they too do not affect my core points. He looks specifically at his own experience hosting a weekly public affairs program on a National Public Radio-affiliated radio station in Illinois from 2002-2012. Adapted from the source document.

SummaryBecause of the physical nature of the radio spectrum, the sharing of radio frequencies between Canada and the United States is a necessary but delicate process. Using the example of AM broadcasting, the purpose of this article is to give an overview of the bilateral agreements concluded between the two countries during the last sixty years. Multilateral conventions, as well as agreements and arrangements, are also reviewed in order to permit an adequate understanding of the evolution of the bilateral relation. The review of those conventions also indicates the legal principles applicable to the sharing of frequencies for broadcasting purposes.From the initial chaos to "first come, first served" and, finally, to the "a priori" planning of the spectrum, the relative situation of Canada vis-à-vis the United States gradually improves. It is through the negotiation of technical agreements that Canada can obtain access to a natural resource necessary for the expression of its national identity and using a broadcasting system of its own.
