    ANNUAL REPORT 2007 A Year of Historic Change PAGE 1 THE SENTENCING PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT 2007 A YEAR OF HISTORIC CHANGE In 2007 The Sentencing Project took full advantage of the newly emerging bipartisan movement for change occasioned by a renewed focus on evidence-based policies and concern about fiscal realities. Years of organizing by The Sentencing Project and our coalition partners created hope for reform of policies that had been challenged for years with little success. When opportunity knocked, The Sentencing Project was at the door. Historic changes were made to the patently unjust and racially biased federal sentences for crack cocaine offenses, more than twenty years after their adoption. The Sentencing Project has challenged these unfair policies for years with research to highlight the racial disparities produced by the federal mandatory sentences for crack, and the tremendous burden that families from already economically disadvantaged communities experience as a result. Change took place at nearly every point of the system. The U.S. Sentencing Commission lowered the guideline sentences for crack offenses, and subsequently made the change retroactive, making 19,500 people eligible to apply for sentence reductions that are expected to average about two years. The U.S. Supreme Court then ruled that federal judges were permitted to take into account the unfairness of the 100-to-1 quantity ratio for powder vs. crack cocaine when imposing sentences for crack offenses. Reform bills were introduced by Democrats and Republicans in both houses of Congress. The Sentencing Project’s efforts to remove barriers to voting by the more than 5 million people in the United States with felony convictions who are disenfranchised also moved forward.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

For centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north India, into Peshawar, Pakistan. Horses, donkeys, and pedestrians compete with huge trucks, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and bicycles along the highway, a commercial route that is dotted with areas of activity right off the road: truck stops, farmer’s stands, bus stops, and all kinds of commercial activity.
