The hire ends a period of transition for AIR, which started when former CEO Sue Schardt abruptly left in August 2018.
A 16-page letter sent in July detailed a “toxic work environment” in AIR’s office.
“I hope to diversify the voices that we hear on the air. I don’t just mean somebody telling my cultura stories, but also my other brothers and sisters from other cultures.”
Public media means “bringing the community closer together through all of the amazing stories that we have on a daily basis.”
The CEO of the Association of Independents in Radio followed her father into broadcasting.
An AIR report argues that live events are important to public media to raise awareness and support and find crucial voices that may be missing from reporting.
Beginning Tuesday, a reporter will rotate into a three-week assignment at the Association of Independents in Radio headquarters in Fields Corner, part of the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester.
Among the report’s findings is that social platforms — such as church services, hot-dog wagons and food pantries — are as important as social media for the future of public media.
