“Enterprising local reports from newsrooms across the country are simply not reflected enough in the NPR’s signature news magazines,” writes former CPB Board member Howard Husock.
“The presence of frontline reporters throughout the country provides a different sort of opportunity for public media journalism: to surprise, to uncover, to find not just the local angle but the issues that are most engaging local citizens and might be of broader interest as well.”
A former CPB board member argues that the funder’s Regional Journalism Collaboratives “are based on priorities set by Washington, not localities.”
“The time is right to re-examine basic assumptions about public media and to ask, anew, essential questions,” writes an outgoing CPB board member.
