Thank you very much, Chair.
To put it in simple terms, the challenge of the new media age is to make sure that we have enough domestic cultural content to preserve our own voice and that we have enough content for the new media technologies.
How are we doing relative to other countries that are in a position similar to ours? I mean countries other than the United States, where no help is needed to transmit the U.S. identity. How are we doing with respect to other countries that have the same challenge we have, which is to keep enough domestic cultural content while using new technologies? What areas are people saying we are weak in, in terms of our efforts to ensure that goal? Is it that there's just not enough funding for content development? Are there other issues?
I've heard your presentations, but at the end of the day, if someone were to ask me if things are good, bad, or okay, and what we need to do, what would people say? I understand you can't take policy positions, but what are people out there telling us that we need to do as a country to maintain our voice, our cultural identity, in the new media environment?
