NFCB represents the views and interests of its membership wherever
policy and system wide issues are discussed: Congress; the Federal
Communications Commission; the Copyright
Office; the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting; the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration; the Public
Radio Satellite System; funding sources; and throughout the arena
of public radio regulatory and technological development. In addition,
we advocate on media policy issues that are in line with the core values
of NFCB: localism; diversity of media ownership, people, cultures, and
perspectives; preserving and respecting cultures; empowering people
with information so they can better control their lives; and community
building.
