The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions Audio Archive Program 441: Beyond the Murk of Masskultur Sociologist Bernard Rosenberg argues that television destroys our aesthetic discrimination, thereby dulling our capacity to either create or respond to art, and distracts us from confronting our human condition. Norman Cousins, editor and author, disagrees, seeing cause for optimism in the growth of educational television. Project Public Information VI. Apr. 1968.

During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
