We launched Move to Include in Rochester with The Golisano Foundation six years ago with the goal to break stereotypes of individuals with disabilities. Now, thanks to a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WXXI is leading a pilot project to expand this initiative in five communities across the country. WFYI (Indianapolis), OPB (Oregon), WGCU (Southwest Florida), WCNY (Syracuse, NY), and Iowa Public Television will work to build more inclusive communities by inspiring and motivating people to embrace different abilities and include all people in every aspect of community life. Through television, radio, news, special events, and social media the stations will spotlight people with differing abilities and disability issues for positive change. They will work to organize community partnerships, acquire and create content for television and radio, and provide outreach, engagement, and promotion for the initiative. People with disabilities make up our single largest minority in this country. We are proud to expand Move to Include into these five new regions, using public media’s many platforms to promote equity and inclusion. To learn more about what our partner stations are doing in their communities, visit movetoinclude.us. Finally, if you made a pledge during our June membership campaign, we thank you. Your support enables us to provide the news, talk, programming, educational resources, and music that our community relies on.

They are committed to conserving land in perpetuity – beyond our lifetimes and for the benefit of future generations. WXXI connects with Andrew Zepp, Executive Director of Finger Lakes Land Trust, to learn more about their efforts. Q. Finger Lakes Land Trust recently celebrated 30 years of conservation in the region. What has been one of the most rewarding projects? The protection of Grimes Glen in Naples was particularly special. This iconic gorge has been used by the public for generations but was at risk of being sold and having access terminated. We partnered with Ontario County to acquire the Glen, protect it through a perpetual conservation easement, and open it as a county park. Today, residents and visitors alike can still cool off on a summer day at this local attraction. Q. Where do your greatest concerns lie for the Finger Lakes region? Recent outbreaks of toxic algae and declining water quality in some areas is a huge concern. The EVENTS lakes are the lifeblood of our region. To address this issue, the Land Trust is working with lake associations and government conservation agencies to protect streams and wetlands and also to reduce nutrient runoff from the surrounding landscape. Q. Can you tell us a little bit about GoFingerLakes.org? & GoFingerLakes.org was launched to help connect people with nature and opportunities for outdoor recreation. Residents and visitors alike are using the site and we have received a lot of positive feedback. While some use it solely as a source of information, others have become involved in our conservation efforts.

    National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1996

    TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support­ ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches­ tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou­ sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life. The Endowment shows the world that we take pride in American culture here and abroad. It is a beacon, not only of creativity, but of free­ dom. And let us keep that lamp brightly burning now and for all time.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

    Telling Public Radio's Story

    Cincinnati Public Radio Local Services Report- FY 2018 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. Cincinnati Public Radio believes that to stay relevant and vital to listeners’ lives, as well as to grow audience, WGUC and WVXU must move from a mass media broadcast mentality to a pro-active engagement model that sets it apart and focuses on building community and providing meaningful content, especially local content, whenever and wherever listeners are seeking it. As such, local programming includes the programs Cincinnati Edition, Around Cincinnati, and Cincinnati Spotlight, as well as local podcasts Start Hear and Looking Up. Content from these programs addressed issues of importance to the community - such as the 2017 local, state and national elections, racial disparities in health care, Aging issues and living solutions, children and gun violence, sexual assault, immigration policy and refugee placement, organ donation, Ohio’s In-Demand Jobs Week, neighborhood activities and arts performances – and was available via on-air broadcasts, as well as online and mobile platforms. The station apps and website made the live broadcast streams easily accessible and offered links to individual content segments. Educational programs introducing children to classical music (Classics for Kids®) and voting and the political process (Democracy and Me) provided expanded outreach to students and teachers. Station personnel are active and visible in the community, interacting with listeners and community leaders to learn their needs and concerns - and representing the station across the region.

  • The Voices of NPR

    The Voices of NPR

    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.
