  • LOCAL NEWS IS a PUBLIC GOOD Public Pathways for Supporting Coloradans’ Civic News and Information Needs in the 21St Century
    LOCAL NEWS IS A PUBLIC GOOD Public Pathways for Supporting Coloradans’ Civic News and Information Needs in the 21st Century INTRODUCTION A free and independent press was so fundamental to the founding vision of “Congress shall make no law democratic engagement and government accountability in the United States that it is called out in the First Amendment to the Constitution alongside individual respecting an establishment of freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly. Yet today, local newsrooms and religion, or prohibiting the free their ability to fulfill that lofty responsibility have never been more imperiled. At exercise thereof; or abridging the very moment when most Americans feel overwhelmed and polarized by a the freedom of speech, or of the barrage of national news, sensationalism, and social media, Colorado’s local news outlets – which are still overwhelmingly trusted and respected by local residents – press; or the right of the people are losing the battle for the public’s attention, time, and discretionary dollars.1 peaceably to assemble, and to What do Colorado communities lose when independent local newsrooms shutter, petition the Government for a cut staff, merge, or sell to national chains or investors?

    TUTT LIBRARY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS COLORADO COLLEGE ARCHIVES CCRm ORAL HISTORY TAPE TRANSCRIPTION R25 William Woodson "Chief" Tyree, 1900-1988 Colorado College Professor of Speech, Drama, and Radio, 1944-1968 SIDE ONE - CASSETTE ONE FINLEY: This is side one of tape recording number 25 of the Colorado College Archives Oral History Project. I am Judy Finley, interviewing retired Professor William Woodson Tyree, who taught speech, drama and radio at CC from 1944 to 1968. We are at Mr. Tyree's Black Forest home at 5680 Burgess Road, and the date is April 11, 1978. A native of West Virginia, Chief Tyree, as he is commonly known, grew up in Durant, Oklahoma, received his A.B. in English from Oklahoma University in 1926, and his M.A. from the State University of Oklahoma in 1938. Before coming to Colorado College, he taught school for 17 years in Ponca City, Oklahoma. He and his wife Ruth, now deceased, raised three sons: Perry, William and Neil, all of whom graduated from CC. While at Colorado College, Professor Tyree established the first FM radio station in the Rocky Mountain region, KRCC-FM, and produced many plays and variety shows in addition to his teaching duties. Good morning, Mr. Tyree! I'm delighted to be out here in the Black Forest in your cozy little home out here. It's nice to see you again. This interview this morning, I hope we can just chat about your recollections of Colorado College, mainly, because that's what our project is devoted to. But before we get into Colorado College, I think I would like to know a little bit about your background.

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.

    University of Colorado Boulder | Colorado Springs | Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus August 2012 CU in the News University of Colorado Boulder Four CU-Boulder faculty honored with Presidential Early Career Award Four CU-Boulder faculty members are among 96 U.S. researchers chosen by the White House as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, or PECASE. The winners are, from left, assistant professors Cindy Regal, physics department and Erin Furtak, School of Education; David Noone associate professor in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences department; and Rebecca Washenfelder, a scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). CU- Boulder News, July 20 Start date for human civilization moved back 24,000 years or so A new analysis of artifacts from a cave in South Africa reveals that the residents were carving bone tools, using pigments, making beads and even using poison 44,000 years ago. These sorts of artifacts had previously been linked to the San culture, which was thought to have emerged around 20,000 years ago. “Our research proves that the Later Stone Age emerged in South Africa far earlier than has been believed and occurred at about the same time as the arrival of modern humans in Europe,” said study researcher Paola Villa, a curator at the CU- Boulder Museum of Natural History. Christian Science Monitor, July 30 CU research helped propel amputee sprinter to Olympics “The Blade Runner,” a South African sprinter and bilateral leg amputee participating in the 2012 London Olympics, has two CU-Boulder professors to thank for helping him make his way to the starting line.

Active community involvement is crucial to the success of any public project. EPA’s community involvement activities at the Colorado Smelter Superfund site are designed to: • Inform the public of the nature of environmental issues associated with the site • Involve the public in Superfund decisions that will affect them • Involve the public in program responses under consideration • Inform the public of progress being made to implement cleanup remedies The purpose of the Superfund Community Involvement Plan (CIP) is to ensure communication between the community in and around the site, EPA, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (state health department), and the Pueblo City County Health Department (local health department); and to encourage community involvement in site activities. The plan is based on meetings and interviews with members of the Pueblo community. EPA interviewed a broad range of private residents, local government officials, businesses and community organizations.
