In the embryonic years of American broadcasting, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover profoundly affected the development of American broadcasting. Hoover, in fact, was the first to articulate the public-interest standard. Today, in the digital age, broadcasting struggles with the public-interest issues of monopolization, censorship, the quality and content of programming, and the decline of localism, also concerns in Hoover's time. And so it is useful to understand what Hoover meant by public service in broadcasting and to what extent broadcasting has achieved Hoover's vision of the public interest
