The report covers our activities during the fiscal year 2019 (July 2018 to June 2019). In January 2019, KPBS unveiled a new logo. The previous four color logo was introduced long before the digital revolution and multi-platform applications. The new logo brings our brand into the modern era and can be readily recognized on all our platforms — making it easy for you to find KPBS on the devices and tools you use everyday. In these next pages, you’ll learn about some of the key programs we’ve presented and produced — from award-winning national documentaries, insightful news reports, engaging events, and innovative podcasts. We hope the report gives you a sense of all the ways KPBS contributes to our community, our culture, and our lives here in San Diego. Whether you watch KPBS television, listen to news programming on radio, download the podcasts, or attend one of our many engaging events, we hope that the stories you find on KPBS make an impact on you. We are fortunate to have more than 60,000 local families and individuals invest in our mission. We’re equally grateful for our talented team of professionals who create, tell, and share the stories that matter to you. Together, we are able to bring exceptional programs for everyone in our community. Our deepest thanks, Tom Karlo, General Manager 2 2020 Community Service Report 2020 Community Service Report 3 WHERE STORY MATTERS On KPBS, we value exceptional storytelling — whether it’s a whodunit mystery or a six part documentary series.

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

    National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993

    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.
