Sound Reporting Needs Listener Support

Russell Heistuman

September 8, 2013

This is from the Manager’s Desk.

You know about “driveway moments.” It’s that time when story grabs you, and you can’t get out of the car until you hear the end.

Sometimes that story is serious news, and sometimes it’s about a person that gives a glimpse into something more universal.

Public media gives you stories that you have to take the time to listen to. You have to be quiet, concentrate, imagine the speaker, the location.

And then the moment is over and you go back to your busy life.

We’ll all busy and there is always too much to do. I’m asking you to put one more thing on your busy list.

I’m asking you to take a moment and think about the importance of public media. And then make a commitment of financial support.

Sound reporting needs listener support. Take that moment now and make a pledge at KGOU dot org.

Thanks. From the Manager’s Desk, I’m Karen Holp.

Karen earned her Master (1974) and Bachelor (1972) degrees from the University of Akron in Ohio, and has worked as Program Director at WMRA-FM, James Madison University in Harrisonburg Virginia and WUIS-FM, University of Illinois at Springfield.
