From wings at wings.org Thu Jul 5 04:09:02 2018 From: wings at wings.org (Frieda Werden) Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2018 04:09:02 -0700 Subject: [grc] Good news about radio Message-ID: Excerpt: radio is experiencing a ?reawakening? in America. They found that AM and FM radio reaches more people each week than any other medium with roughly 228.5m consumers, compared with 216.5m for television and 203.8m accessing apps or the web on a smartphone. According to Nielsen, broadcast radio?s weekly reach is larger than that of streamed audio (68.5m) and podcasts (21.9m). (Larry Miller, one of the authors of the NYU report, said that Nielsen has under-sampled young listeners.) [However, the stats don't seem to include those who listen to terrestrial radio through the stations' streams online.] https://www.economist.com/prospero/2018/06/27/how-is-college-radio-faring-in-the-streaming-era Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service www.wings.org From wings at wings.org Tue Jul 10 10:25:45 2018 From: wings at wings.org (Frieda Werden) Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:25:45 -0700 Subject: [grc] News about GRC founder Marty Durlin Message-ID: http://www.moabtimes.com/view/full_story/27578869/article-KZMU-gets-new-manager KZMU has announced the retirement of station manager Marty Durlin. ?We are sad to lose Marty, but also happy for her as she takes on her next adventure and are grateful for the exceptional effect she?s had on our station and our community,? said a press release from the station. Durlin took over KZMU at a time of uncertainty when the station was hindered by a major funding cut from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, according to the press release. She rallied the KZMU audience and made sure that the station would not only survive, but thrive. During her tenure, the press release said she introduced a daily news broadcast to the regular music programming and produced and directed three original radio plays, while maintaining and promoting KZMU?s program schedule.

I hope the PNB does not wait to hear you ask: if Pacifica means anything, it means the right of the press - radio, tv, print, online, whatever - to receive, accept, and broadcast the truth. The U.S. wants to quell Assange for disseminating the information that the US government killed civilians - murdered them - and has not disowned the policies that created those murders. We all owe Assange a great debt: he is a hero for what he has done for the freedom of information that every ?democracy? must exemplify or else give up the title and admit their true nature. And if Pacifica cannot support him, and Snowden, it should indeed fold its shutters and go out of business.

Long title because people would probably think I was unreasonably obsessed with the tiny East African nation of Rwanda if I weren't always trying to explain the central role it plays in US and Israeli foreign policy, and its current president's role in the catastrophic violence of the last 24 years in East and Central Africa. I can't remember recently struggling with 3-4 minutes of audio like I did with this, and I'm looking for a little help from anyone who downloads it. When I exported this, then reimported it into Audacity to rework it?many times?I found that it imported at an extremely low volume that I would then have to amplify. The amplification is no big deal, but I can't figure out why it's been doing that. The board op for the KPFA newscast I work on has had to amplify my files upon receipt several times. So, if anyone downloads it and find that its barely there and needs amplification, could you let me know? One thing I can't figure out is why this happens sometimes and not others. Thanks much for any help proffered. -- For real, @AnnGarrison Independent Journalist, SKYPE: Ann Garrison, Oakland 415-503-7487 From arnold101 at earthlink.net Mon Jul 30 20:57:00 2018 From: arnold101 at earthlink.net (Arnold Levine) Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 20:57:00 -0700 Subject: [grc] Julian Assange In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <8267565E-5401-48A1-9723-9FCFABF4A0D4@earthlink.net> Thanks for the conversation? ..I know from my own experience in the London of the 1970s when running a pirate radio station.
