Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 s one of the oldest public radio stations in the country, New England Public Radio would not be here without your passionate support. A The staff, the NEPR Foundation Board of Directors, and I want to personally thank you for your generosity and for being part of our listening community. Each year, putting our annual report together gives us the opportunity to take a few minutes to reflect on the work we’ve accomplished, and the places we’ve been, and the people we’ve met in our community who have made an impact on our work. FY’17 was a busy year in public media. Election years always are, as listeners tune in to hear thoughtful, well- researched reporting about the candidates, special coverage of debates, the inauguration, and the beginnings of a new president’s first term. Each day since then, NPR has covered the stories coming out of Washington with vigor and with objectivity. You hear no screaming, no arguing. You tune to NEPR for the antidote to that. In this era of so called “fake news”, political polarity, and divisiveness in our country, NEPR and NPR are needed now more than ever. We provide facts, go in-depth with enterprise reporting, and offer opinions from many INSPIRING THROUGH points of view and many walks of life. STORYTELLING Our task in public media is to find a way to see and hear one another; to seek and understand how people feel and to believe that we can get things OF done together. ALL KINDS. This work is not possible without an incredible community of listeners who support New England Public Radio. Whether you’ve been contributing since the early years of WFCR, became a first time donor, or joined us as a new underwriter in 2017, we are incredibly grateful for your support. With your help, we continue to grow in every way. In these pages you’ll read about our recently completed strategic framework, our newest NEPR– produced podcasts, our new digital editor who is helping to make our local reporting richer on nepr.net and on our social media platforms, and all the places you can now hear the NEPR News Network — including in Hampden County on 91.9FM. All this and more is made possible by you, and there is so much more to come. Thank you for your generous support. Keep listening.

Thank you,

VAULT SESSIONS

New England Public Radio launched a new live recording project called “The Vault Sessions” through a partnership with Laudable Productions. The Vault Sessions feature intimate video recordings filmed live at NEPR’s space in downtown Springfield. Local and national musicians play a short set in front of the station’s architectural centerpiece — a room–sized vintage bank vault. In April, we debuted “The Value Sessions,” with an acoustic set by Matthew Szlachetka, a Nashville-based musician with roots in western Massachusetts. Other performers have included experimental folk artist and composer Sam Amidon; two of North India’s most revered classical musicians, Ramu Pandit and Rabindra Narayan Goswami; and singer–songwriter, Hayley Reardon.

Photo: Burns Maxey/NEPR Photo: n January 2016, New England Public Radio launched NEPR Media Lab ­— a program dedicated to promoting young people’s intellectual, creative Iand professional growth through education and access to the media. In September 2016, we hired Carlos McBride to run the program. With extensive teaching experience at both the high school and college levels and a passion for journalism, art, education, media justice and music, Carlos has proved to be a great fit for the role. Under Carlos’ leadership, the program has continued to grow in its second year. A cohort from Springfield High Schools, and a cohort from Dean Technical Vocational High School in Holyoke completed the program in the spring of 2017. An Alumni program, comprised of seven students who graduated from Media Lab during its first year and wanted the opportunity to continue honing their skills, was created this year as well. Media Lab has also established a new partnership with The Care Center in Holyoke, Massachusetts, which works with teen mothers and their families as they continue their education, and continues to work with the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Springfield High School of Commerce’s Community Journalism Project. Over the summer Media Lab partnered with several local community organizations to build its presence in Springfield, including Gardening the Community, The Vanguard 413, and UMass Amherst’s Upward Bound Summer Institute which works directly with students from Springfield’s High School of Commerce. Media Lab also launched a new podcast this year ­— the Media Lab Podcast features audio produced by Media Lab students, and can be found and at nepr.net/medialab or wherever you get your podcasts. The Media Lab podcast offers an opportunity for listeners to engage with the students as they journey through a variety of commentaries, features and self- reflection.

Items Left at ’s Grave Emily Dickinson, the great American poet, was born December 10, 1830. Commentator and author Martha Ackmann lives a few miles up the road from Dickinson’s Amherst home, and often takes walks around town, planning her route to include a stop at Dickinson’s grave in West Cemetery — behind the Mobil station.
