Re: “A letter to our readers”
There is a great deal of government support given to the news media and has been since the founding of our nation, although the levels of support have declined in the past 40 years. https://fundingthenews.usc.edu/report/intr…
Re: “A letter to our readers”
Inquisitive: I believe you're conflating the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (a private non-profit org that was founded by Congress in 1967, and that oversees the distribution of government funding to support hundreds of locally owned public radio and tv stations) with the WXXI Public Broadcasting Council (a non-profit that runs a number of Rochester-area radio and tv stations, the Little Theater, and is acquiring City Newspaper).
WXXI gets about $1.5m annually from the CPB in the form of grants, representing about 10% of their annual revenue stream. They get a comparable amount in NY Dept of Educ grants. The remaining 80% of their budget comes from non-governmental sources.
WXXI is not owned by the government, nor it is "taxpayer owned".

J: Since the delivery of power to consumers is a natural monopoly, by law it is classed as a public utility and hence is subject to PUC oversight. If you see a government hand reaching toward your throat, it is to pry off the grasp of a greedy industry.

In a nutshell: sound editing recognizes those who create/record the various individual audio tracks (dialog, effects, music, etc) to accompany the visual, while mixing involves choosing which of the hundreds of tracks to use (and with what emphasis) for each moment of film.
