  • Annual Report
    2008 ANNUAL REPORT wamu.org | Your NPR news station in the Nation’s Capital A Letter from the General Manager Against a backdrop of an explosion of personalized media, it is increasingly challenging for a single radio station to serve disparate listener interests. In FY 2008, we stepped up to this challenge at WAMU 88.5 through several bold changes. These were designed to provide the high-quality content our listeners appreciate, while also satisfying increasing expectations for specialized services that allow listeners to select exactly what they want to hear, when they want to hear it. As a pioneer in the use of HD Radio technology, WAMU 88.5 has been well positioned from the beginning to harness its multicasting potential. In the fall of 2007, we felt it was time to begin treating HD Radio as “real” radio by maximizing the content we offer on the additional frequencies within our existing position at 88.5 on the radio dial. Thus, for the first time in our 46-year history, WAMU 88.5 switched to a seven-day week of news, talk, and information on our main channel, WAMU 88.5-1 in HD. This allowed us to move our Sunday bluegrass music programming from just one shelf of inventory in a large store to a brand new storefront of its own at WAMU 88.5-2. WAMU’s Bluegrass Country, with its own distinct, robust, live-hosted programs, is among the first in the nation to offer live programming exclusively for HD Radio. In creating this sustainable service, WAMU 88.5 increased by 59% Caryn G.

  • Strategy Report
    675$7(*< 5(3257 0DUFK Letter from the Mayor Dear District residents and entrepreneurs: As Mayor of Washington, DC, I am pleased to share with you our new economic strategy. Shaped by conversations with hundreds of residents, business owners, investors and community leaders, and backed up by comprehensive data analysis, this strategy is a principal cornerstone of my Administration, a progressive agenda of inclusive prosperity to ensure that we continue growing our economy and creating jobs so that all District residents have pathways to prosperity. The last several years have ushered in unprecedented economic growth in our nation’s capital. Tax revenues are increasing, unemployment is falling in every ward, and new businesses are taking root in neighborhoods all across Washington. And, people around the country are beginning to take note: in 2016, CNBC ranked Washington, DC the third best place in America to start a business, and in the top five for diversity of entrepreneurs.1 In 2017, US News and World Report ranked Washington, DC the 4th Best Place to Live in the USA;2 and, also in 2017, SmartAsset named Washington, DC the #1 city for women in tech.3 But, there is still much more we must do to reach our full potential. Washington, DC, our world-class city, can grow to be even better – a place where every resident, regardless of neighborhood, background or income, has a fair shot to succeed and thrive. Two goals guide this strategy: first, to grow DC’s private sector economy to $100 billion (by 20%), by the end of 2021.

MATHES For the past 50 years, WAMU 88.5 has endeavored to be an integral part of the Washington community. As we look back on the past fiscal year in this report, I cannot help but reflect on the changes the last five decades have brought to both electronic media and our Washington home. We’ve grown from a local Washington radio station to a media powerhouse with international reach. We’ve also had the honor to serve the savviest, most loyal public radio audience imaginable. It is you, our audience, who has been the one constant in an ever-changing landscape. You’ve been there for us, through format changes, the birth of the Internet, the emergence of unprecedented media choice, and countless membership drives that have helped to fund the station’s coverage and programs. I directly attribute the successes documented in the pages to follow to our audience and our loyal community support. WAMU 88.5 continues to rank among the top five stations in both our home market of Washington, D.C., and nationally among all public radio stations in all measurement categories. We’ve continued to add staff to meet the demands of our audience growth and expectations, focusing our efforts this year in the areas of news, digital media, and development.

    PART II — Standard 1: Mission, Governance and Administration The policies and practices of the unit ensure that it has an effectively and fairly administered working and learning environment. OVERVIEW The School of Communication was not established until 1993, but the roots run deep at American University for the teaching of journalism. The institution graduated its first journalism student in 1929, and it has offered media-related courses since then. American’s Journalism and Public Communication programs were first accredited in 1976, but according to the self-study, “it is only in the last 30 years that Communication has emerged as a stand-alone unit with a distinctive mix of undergraduate and graduate degrees.” The School is among the most comprehensive of the country’s mass communication programs, with 55 full-time faculty members, some 950 undergraduates spread across four majors (Journalism; Public Relations and Strategic Communication; Communications Studies; and Film and Media Arts); and 370 graduate students. Undergraduate baccalaureate programs in Journalism, along with Public Relations and Strategic Communication (which, until fall 2014, was labeled Public Communication) are within the scope of this ACEJMC review. Also within the scope of the review are the M.A. programs in Strategic Communication, Journalism and Public Affairs, and Interactive Journalism. The School enrolls 669 students in Journalism and in its Public Relations and Strategic Communication programs. It also enrolls 180 students in its master’s programs in Strategic Communication and in Journalism and Public Affairs. Of the 55 full-time faculty in the School, 33 are members of the divisions in Journalism and in Public Relations and Strategic Communication.

  • AMERICAN UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT COVER the Renovated Mckinley Building Is a Fitting Symbol of American University’S Decade of Transformation
    A DECADE OF TRANSFORMATION AMERICAN UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT COVER The renovated McKinley Building is a fitting symbol of American University’s decade of transformation. Completed in 2014, it sets a distinctly twenty-first-century tone without losing sight of its storied origins since Theodore Roosevelt laid its cornerstone in 1902. The building’s iconic domed roof and marble-columned facade now abuts a modern glass entrance to the School of Communication, which features digital classrooms, a media innovation lab, and sophisticated communications technology. A key feature of the renovation’s forward-thinking design is the rigorous standard of sustainability that led to its LEED Gold certification: green roofs, water-efficient landscaping, and numerous energy-saving components throughout its interior. McKinley is one of three AU buildings to receive national certification since 2011. Any newly constructed buildings on campus are also expected to be LEED certified in keeping with the university’s green building policy.

  • WAMU 88.5 Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2007 wamu.org | Your NPR News Station in the Nation’s Capital WAMU 88.5 FM American University Radio Annual Report 2007 A Letter from American University President Dr. Cornelius M. Kerwin We are both pleased and proud that WAMU 88.5 has fi nished another year with such tremendous success, which can be measured any number of ways. With an increasing number of listeners each year, the support of our valued donors growing, and the programming breadth (including options online and via HD Radio) becoming more numerous and diverse, WAMU 88.5 continues to enhance its reputation as the source of public radio news and information in the nation’s capital — the most infl uential audience in the nation. Online and via syndication, the station’s reach and infl uence beyond Washington continues to grow. Cornelius M. Kerwin, American University President Signifi cantly, this is being done at a time of change in the Washington media landscape, and when traditional sources of news, information, and entertainment are struggling to hold the attention of their primary audiences because of new modes of delivery and technological change. With creativity and confi dence, however, WAMU 88.5 has responded by more fully utilizing its three-channel capability to offer more programming options for the public radio audience. WAMU 88.5 continues to be a shining example of what American University does best — educate, inform, entertain, and get people to think. Thank you for your support of WAMU 88.5, which makes it all possible. 2 WAMU 88.5 FM American University Radio Annual Report 2007 A Letter from WAMU 88.5’s General Manager, Caryn G.
