Funding for the project was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The project ran from June. 1978 through February, 1979. Public programming, rather than research, was the emphaSis of the project and is reflected in the handbook What are "the humanities?" Throughout the project the definition prov.ided by NEH was the working definition: Because human experience has been principally recorded and preserved through books, art works, and other cultural objects, the humanities are often defined in terms of a group of specificocademic disciplines.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2014
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2014 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN 2014 Revision 7/17/2014 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is the intent that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan exists to explain who can create and originate EAS alerts, and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications system capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency public information. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.

We’re giving you an advance look at the new plan, with an opportunity to comment on it because we want you input. We have shortened the plan, making it to the point starting with a checklist for EAS Participants to, insure that all areas of responsibility are covered. Less prohibitive listening station assignments, instead of ten pages directing stations where to tune to it was reduced to three pages of if you are located the part of the county tune to this station.

    STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY A FOCUS ON PUBLIC RADIO DECEMBER 2014 STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY Q4 Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company 1 THE ECLECTIC AUDIO LANDSCAPE In today’s fragmented media world, where consumers have more choices and more access to content than ever before, audio remains strong. 91.3% of all Americans (age 12+) are using radio during the week. Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small. Public Radio is a unique and relevant part of the lives of 32 million Americans and exists in large part due to the financial support of the listeners we examine in the following pages.
