Michael Barker
Michael Barker presents this political and academic research paper on the role of liberal foundations, primarily Ford Foundation, in the history of media activism, concluding there is a "problematic nexus between liberal philanthropy and progressive media reform" and offering some "recommendations for how media activists may begin to move away from their (arguably unsustainable) reliance on liberal philanthropy."
