DIE ACTOR DIE

Jesse Thorn gives his dollars worth of two cents on the cancellation of Fair Game and The Bryant Park Project, both freshman NPR shows aimed at da yoots of America and subsequently canceled. It’s a good read.

Money shot:

* There was no reason to target young people in the first place. This may sound odd coming from a guy who has a show called “The Sound of Young America,” but remember: my show’s title is a joke . Getting younger listeners isn’t about creating shows for younger listeners any more than getting African-American listeners is about creating shows for African-American listeners. It’s about creating great shows that have diverse perspectives and are inclusive.
