NEVADA PUBLIC RADIO Local Content and Services Report 2017
NEVADA PUBLIC RADIO Local Content and Services Report 2017 1. Describe your overall goals and approach to address identified community issues, needs, and interests through your station’s vital local services, such as multiplatform long and short‐form content, digital and in‐person engagement, education services, community information, partnership support, and other activities, and audiences you reached or new audiences you engaged. Nevada Public Radio operates under a three year plan with current top line goals to grow audience on all platforms with an emphasis on reaching a younger more diverse audience. Organizationally we worked on a partnership with the University of Nevada Las Vegas to leverage our efficiencies in a local management agreement that would enhance the quality of student opportunities while relieving UNLV of expense and presenting the community with a station designed to appeal to a “younger than the npr” audience. Unfortunately that did not come to fruition. NVPR has been a first wave adopter of NPR ONE and other NPR initiatives to grow a digital audience, one proven to be younger and more diverse than broadcast. In 2016, we hired our first marketing manager to accelerate social media engagement. In the 13th year of our weekday original content KNPR’s State of Nevada, we continue to refine our editorial efforts with a full staff supported with an online editor. Responding to some critical issues in our community we’ve instituted a beat system to cover education (5th largest school district is under reorganization), a tax hike to support an NFL stadium project, “new Nevada” with Tesla and green energy investment and the successful effort to legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
