摘要

通过对私人信件的详细档案分析，本文考察了1934年《通信法案》的“公共利益”授权如何激发了普林斯顿无线电研究项目(PRRP)的形成，并影响了保罗·拉扎斯菲尔德对两步流和媒体效应研究的发展。隐藏在联邦记录中的后法案联邦通信委员会(FCC)，根据对教育广播的强制分析，也被证明是西奥多·阿多诺被洛克菲勒基金会带到美国的原因。拉扎斯菲尔德对媒体和传播理论的思想史至关重要，他邀请阿多诺不仅开发技术，为教育音乐研究提供信息，而且战略性地为媒体改革运动制定倡导语言，以帮助非商业媒体获得频率许可。FCC所施加的限制和压力影响了PRRP研究的轨迹，从而影响了传播学研究的方法投资。

Theodor Adorno, Paul Lazarsfeld, and the Public Interest Mandate of Early Communications Research, 1935–1941

Through detailed archival analysis of personal letters, this article examines how the “public interest” mandate of the Communications Act of 1934 inspired the formation of the Princeton Radio Research Project (PRRP), and influenced Paul Lazarsfeld’s development of two-step flows and media effects research. Buried in federal records, a post-Act Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Pursuant that mandated analysis of educational broadcasting additionally turns out to be the causative reason that Theodor Adorno was brought to America by the Rockefeller Foundation. Crucial to the intellectual history of media and communication theory, Lazarsfeld invited Adorno not only to develop techniques to inform educational music study, but to strategically formulate advocacy language for the media reform movement to help noncommercial media obtain frequency licenses. The limits and pressures exerted by the FCC Pursuant influenced the trajectory of the PRRP research, and consequently, the methodological investments of Communication Studies.
