Fratkin examines the historical record of the National Citizens Committee for Broadcasting (NCCB), and organization that exemplifies the media reform movement of the 1960s and 1970s.  This critical historical study illuminates the organizational structure and communication strategies used by the NCCB during a time period when it was effective not only in raising the level of public discourse with regard to media reform issues, but also in mobilizing individuals and groups of citizens to assert their rights as interested parties in the regulatory process.
