In Kevin Whiteyes Shroth’s 2009 Ph.D. dissertation,
Bakhtinian Aesthetics and Authorship in the Journalism of National Public Radio
, Max Neuhaus is likely discussed in the context of NPR’s early history of experimentalism and the blurring of boundaries between journalism, sound art, and public participation.
While Shroth's primary lens is the literary theory of Mikhail Bakhtin (specifically concepts like polyphony and dialogism), Neuhaus serves as a critical historical example of how NPR engaged with "voices" beyond traditional reporting.
