I've been thinking about that with regard to WXOX-Louisville in particular too. I have had it in mind to interview General Manager Sharon Scott about how the uprising there in ground-zero Louisville made its way onto the airwaves of an art/music station that doesn't have any news-and-public-affairs programming. I often remember memorable things that are said on music shows quite distinctly, in part because the words are surrounded by what might be called "white space" in graphic design. In radio, I think of "white space" as music that sets the words off. News and public affairs programming has musical breaks so that it doesn't turn into a drone, but spontaneous, unscripted verbal intervention in a music space seizes attention differently than scheduled news and public affairs programming. When the jury's decision to acquit Darren Wilson, the Ferguson cop who killed Michael Brown, came down, KPFA's News Department was just wrapping up. The news came sometime during the 6 pm to 7 pm Pacific slot, too late for insertion into the scripted newscast. The pre-recorded show "Africa Today" automatically began playing, even as protestors filled Martin Luther King Way right outside the station's doors. Several reporters who happened to be at the station rushed out into the street with their handheld recorders but there was no protocol for pre-empting pre-recorded programming to make way for reporting from the street. This was discussed at the time, but I don't know whether any protocol was ever set up because my involvement with the KPFA News is limited to the half-hour Saturday newscast. The best suggestion I heard was to immediately pre-empt the recorded programming and throw open the phones. To do that you have to have someone with enough authority to make the decision, and someone ready to answer the phones and manage the air space, which should be part of the protocol. Now COVID-19 makes it even more difficult, at least at KPFA, because only a skeletal crew is allowed inside the actual station, but that must be true at WXOX and most all the other stations too. I imagine that stations whose size means they're working with a skeletal crew most of the time anyway, may actually be able to respond more spontaneously. -Ann Garrison, Pacifica/KPFA On Mon, Sep 7, 2020 at 2:29 PM Jim Ellinger via grc wrote: > > Very Cool Ellinger, announces the 'Riot4Radio' Panel has been submitted > to the GRC, which is looking, um, Very Cool. > > I've noticed that I am getting my news from less and less traditional > > sources.

It would provide tax subsidies of up to (a) $250 per year for subscriptions to local newspapers for individuals, (b) $50,000 per year for a local newspaper to pay staff, and (c) $5,000 for an advertiser in such a paper. A "local newspaper" is a print or digital publication (A) whose primary content is news and current events, (B) with at least 51 percent of its readers living either within a single state or US possession or within 200 miles. Robert McChesney has advocated something like this for years. He said that the US Postal Postal Service Act of 1792 made a major contribution to making the US what it is today. Under that act, newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. It was 0.2% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and helped the US grow both in land area and economically while Mexico fractured, shrank, and stagnated economically.[2] 0.2% of current US GDP is roughly half of $250. What might your level of interest be in helping produce or at least air events, hearings, panels, discussing the pros and cons of this and similar legislation? It was introduced July 16 and will likely die unless somebodies (like us) push it. If we push it and it fails, that doesn't mean we've lost. It could be introduced again next year. And it could potentially be implemented on a local level if a local governmental entity agrees to match what they spend on accounting, advertising, and media and public relations with citizen-directed subsidies for journalism and research into the long-term impact of alternative governmental programs.[3] I don't have anything concrete yet. However, it would be easier to get people like Robert McChesney to speak if we could guarantee them an audience. What do you think?

Before the pandemic we had volunteers staffing a reception desk. That was closed and still is. I think the vast majority of programs that have guests have been using Zoom or call-in.

More people come to the station now, but not like before. I haven't looked at the finances, but I also haven't heard about serious problems. I think donations are down but not dramatically so. Long term, I think there are great opportunities for using virtual (Zoom) technology for teaching almost anything that doesn't require operating the sound boards. Since there is no travel involved, it's easier to justify smaller class sizes and therefore more individual instruction. I've taught 3 small classes using Zoom on how to edit episode descriptions for our web site. I think we can teach Audacity and other things this way, but we aren't there yet. If this works like I think it will, KKFI could offer more classes and attract more volunteers this way.

When people are allowed to come to the station, some will but many won't. I've produced public service announcements (in English and Spanish), and our Chief Operator felt the sound quality was reasonable -- better than some of what I had produced with a Zoom H4n audio recorder. * I was very inspired by Lisa Loving's presentations at the GRC two years ago. I've tried to get something like that going at KKFI ever since. We now have two training committees: for curriculum and scheduling. This old mule is still not allowed to pull the wagon very far, but we're getting there ;-) Two years ago, we had some training, but it was virtually all one-on-one and didn't follow a very well documented curriculum. Right before last year's GRC, I organized a half-day training event; I called it a "Techathon". We've had 2 or 3 since. People liked those. They want more. I'm 76 and not eager to do face-to-face training until COVID is substantially controlled. I'm eager to do more training - but virtual. It will happen. Some of the virtual training will continue to be virtual after COVID is controlled, because it's easier to justify with small class sizes -- even one-on-one: Someone can't figure out how to do something in Audacity, for example. They contact a help line, and someone replies. They either solve it via email or Slack or they set up a video conference. The volunteer gets help quicker and is happier and more productive. We aren't there yet, but we are working in that direction. It's moving like a snail, but it's moving. * People with music shows should know about "Virtual DJ", if they don't already. It's free and reasonably easy to use. One of our lead volunteers uses it and teaches it. I don't think he's ready to teach it virtually, but I think that will come.

In the first days of the lock down, the board operators were often the ONLY individuals in the station. In addition, we had fairly strict sanitation guidelines. At one point, our Chief Operator told people "Do NOT spray disinfectant directly on the sound boards." (We don't want you electrocuting yourself while frying our equipment! ;-) I'm part of KKFI's Equipment, Facilities and Technology Committee. It has mostly been meeting remotely. Volunteers have been in the station fixing problems, painting, upgrading equipment, etc. I've personally been to the station twice since the lock down began: Around May I carried junk to recycling. I went in August 13 to produce a show, where I sat in a room separated by a wall with a big window from the board operator, and we could wave and show big print on paper to one another. The first time, I saw our Chief Operator and a couple of other people preparing to go on the air. The second time, I saw a couple more but still not as many as I would have seen before the pandemic. I think all were wearing masks. Spencer Graves On 2020-09-23 10:51, Paul O'ROURKE BABB via grc wrote: > At KZFR we have stopped new programmer trainings and limited office hours.

See Press Release below RefuseFascism.org has been organizing against Trump/Pence Fascist Regime since 2017. A small dedicated group in Kansas City joined with weekly protest in Nov. 2017. Trump is doing all he can to hamper the votes and election results. A mass movement is needed NOW to show We will not accept a Fascist Regime. He has said after the election, he will shut down protests and it will be too late to mobilize. Please tell your listeners. We cannot afford another 4 years of trump!

"He's not running for President, he's plotting to be Fuhrer, waging a rolling coup, barreling toward the election, refusing to condemn white supremacy, instead commanding fascist thugs like the Proud Boys to 'stand by' - and be ready." "Refuse Fascism says to the millions who watched with shock and outrage, stand up! There IS a way to stop this nightmare by getting in the streets and staying, using our power of non-violent protest NOW, not after Trump has already stolen the election," says Zee.

Nationwide Protests: New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Honolulu, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco Seattle, St. Louis MOBILIZE FOR OCTOBER 3 "We face a critical crossroads," says Coco Das of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board. "The hour is late, but not too late. Relying only on our voting will lead to disaster. The Trump/Pence regime is subverting the election now and preparing to nullify it. Waiting to act till they do so will be too late." "Now we must act. Beginning Saturday, October 3rd, gather and bring your family, friends, and community into the public squares of cities and towns across the country in non-violent protest unified by the demand: Trump/Pence OUTNOW! This is possible. We saw this in June and early July," said Carl Dix of RefuseFascism.org. "We will act on our principles, modeling the world we aspire to in contrast to the bigotry and hatred of this fascist regime," says Dix. "We will act together with creative joy and with the conviction and courage of standing together not only for ourselves but for all humanity." _____ See full statement, October 3rd We Begin Non-Violent Protests that Continue Day After Day United by the Demand: Trump/Pence OUTNOW!
