THIS AMERICAN LIFE THE WORLD KUOW’S MISSION IS TO CREATE A MORE INFORMED PUBLIC, ONE CHALLENGED AND INVIGORATED BY A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF EVENTS, IDEAS AND CULTURES.

Both are examples of the power and intimacy of a well-told story. These are stories that provide local-to-global context, stories that strengthen the value of our public service, stories that define public radio. Many listeners wrote to express how moved they were by National Public Radio’s (NPR) earthquake coverage in central China. When the earthquake struck, All Things Considered hosts Melissa Block and Robert Siegel and seven other NPR staff- ers were already in Chengdu to prepare a series of stories about China’s culture and emergence as an economic superpower. Among the many dramatic moments was Melissa’s report about a young couple’s frantic search for their 2-year-old son and his grandparents in a collapsed apartment building in the city of Dujianyan. In an interview with the Washington Post, Robert Siegel said, “I think [radio] is a medium that, every decade, is declared dead and somehow it manages to survive. When you have TV, you always have to have pictures, and that gets in the way of language. There’s something very natural about talking to people and hearing the human voice. It’s a very elemental form of communication…You didn’t need a translator to understand…You could hear it in the voices.” We also heard from many people responding to KUOW’s five-part documentary about Seattle’s Purepecha community of immigrants. A Village Away from Home: Seattle’s Purepecha Community, explored what happens when people from the rural hill-towns of central Mexico are transplanted in Seattle suburbs. KUOW reporter Liz Jones revealed this “hidden village” in South Seattle to thousands of listeners. She described how the indigenous Purepecha language, culture and traditional lifestyle are vanishing in parts of Mexico, but reappearing here. Liz traveled three thousand miles to a small Purepecha village called Quinceo to bring us stories of hope and despair as divided families seek jobs in the Mexican countryside and along the shores of the Duwamish. The series gave a voice to those who are affected by immigration issues in Seattle and Quinceo and caused many others to take notice. A Village Away From Home was supported by the KUOW Program Venture Fund. Many thanks to all who support public radio! wayne c. roth, general manager The two programs that the general manager mentions in his remarks are prime examples of what makes KUOW a resource of tremendous value to our community. The depth and breadth of news and information coverage available on public radio surpasses that of any other medium. It is a window on our world that all of the dedicated professionals at KUOW work diligently every day to bring into our homes, cars and workplaces. Almost two years ago, KUOW launched a second service to expand the news and information programming available to our listeners. The service is broadcast on KXOT 91.7 fm in Tacoma and is available as a live-stream on the Internet at KXOT.org. KXOT offers many nationally syndicated programs not heard on KUOW, as well as a limited schedule of local programming focused on the Puget Sound region, which we plan to increase in the future. If you have not yet discovered this service, I encourage you to do so. For the growing number of you who have digital radios, you can listen to KXOT on KUOW’s second digital channel—KUOW2. Ten years ago, few of us would have predicted the myriad ways that we are able to receive audio programming today. Traditional AM and FM broadcasts will be around for many years to come (and most likely forever), but last year our programs were also delivered via Internet streaming, podcasts and online archives. Significant resources were devoted to KUOW.org, where you can access all of our current local programs, archives of most of the local programs broadcast within the last ten years, and a wealth of background and supplementary information on the subjects they cover. As technology advances, KUOW will continue to improve our facilities so that you will always be able to listen to our award-winning programming through the medium that best serves your needs. The Board of KUOW Puget Sound Public Radio owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Wayne Roth, who this year celebrates his 25th anniversary at the helm of the station. His vision and efforts as general manager, along with those of the many other talented and devoted individuals serving alongside him, have made KUOW one of the preeminent public radio stations in the country. As important as their contributions have been, however, none of this could have been achieved without the generous support of our listeners. We sincerely thank you for being part of this experience. frank woodruff, kuow puget sound public radio board president 1 LOCALLY PRODUCED PROGRAMS 2 “Public radio is an irresistible force that inspires me to entertain alternative viewpoints.

  • Final Report
    NATIONAL YOUTH SUMMIT: ABOLITION – FINAL REPORT FINAL REPORT Program Overview “The summit seemed to make slavery past and present more real,” Participating Teacher February 11, 2013 4,200 participating students and teachers onsite and online The National Youth Summit on Abolition is the third in a series of webcasts presented by the National Museum of American History that are designed to bring middle and high school students together with scholars, teachers, policy experts, and activists in a national conversation about important events in America’s past that have relevance to the nation’s present and future. On February 11, 2013, through a webcast that included a moderated panel discussion and web chat, over 4,200 students and teachers in 33 states and the US Virgin Islands as well as Kenya, Canada, Pakistan, Malta, and Brazil reflected together on the abolition movement of the 19th century and explored its lessons for ending modern- day slavery and human trafficking. The program featured excerpts from the PBS AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary The Abolitionists. Two hundred and forty-four (244) students from Washington, DC’s public middle and high schools attended the event in person at the National Museum of American History. Two hundred and eleven (211) attendees pre-registered to watch alone or in a group for a total of 3,266 pre-registered viewers, a similar level of interest to the previous National Youth Summit on the Dust Bowl’s 291 pre-registered viewers. Concurrent programs took place at two Smithsonian Affiliate museums, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Heinz History Center, and at President Lincoln’s Cottage.

  • A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*
    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.

  • South Africa 2018/19 Communications
    OFFICIAL GUIDE TO South Africa 2018/19 Communications 53 Official Guide to South Africa 2018/19 Communications 54 Department of Communications (DoC) and Digital Technologies (DCDT) Following the reconfiguration of government departments in June 2019, the DoC was merged with the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services (DTPS) to form the new DCDT. The then DoC was spearheading the process of migrating broadcasting signals from analogue to digital. South Africa’s national digital network coverage comprises DTT transmission coverage of 84% of the population with the remaining 16% to be covered by satellite network. DTT is a reliable and cost-efficient means to distribute linear TV content and has many advantages over the analogue broadcasting system. One of its major advantages for communities is that it clears the analogue spectrum for the delivery of broadband mobile Internet and Wi-fi services. To view digital TV signals on an ordinary analogue TV set, consumers will need a set-top box (STB). Government will provide about five million poor TV-owning households with free STBs. Once the migration is complete, high definition TV telecast facilities would be available, along with expanded community, FM and satellite radio services to the entire population. During the 2017/18 financial year, the then DoC developed the White Paper on Audio-Visual and Digital Content Policy for South Africa, which provides enabling mechanisms to facilitate ownership of the new audio-visual digital content value chain by previously disadvantaged communities and small, medium and micro enterprises. Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) In 2018, Communications (and Digital Technologies) Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams announced the “Building a Capable 4IR Army” capacity development programme to ensure that communities are equipped to take advantage of new digital technologies, unlock future jobs and drive competitiveness.

The phenomenon can be witnessed in a grainy video shot in 2003 by a dashboard camera in a Cincinnati police car. In it, a patrol car pulls up quickly to the parking lot of a White Castle in Cincinnati.
