BEHIND THE SCENES Introducing the New WPR Logo You may have noticed that this issue of RadioWaves looks a little different. In addition to making changes to the content based on input from you, our readers, we're pleased to offer you the very first look at our new logo. We'll be rolling it out slowly over the coming months, so here's a little background on the concept ... Every day, Wisconsin Public Radio helps listeners make connections. Whether we do it by bringing together diverse viewpoints, unexpected topics or by simply allowing people separated by geographic, cultural or ideological distances to engage one another, we are all about making connections. Like a Venn diagram, the new WPR logo represents an abstract expression of those connections. Three sets of seven concentric circles represent the diversity of our services and people we serve. We have three networks. We have three ways we serve (on-air, online, in the community). We have three formats (news, talk, music). We inform, inspire and engage. And, we have seven regional offices. The design reflects our clean and modern sensibility with a nod to our past. Some see broadcast tower beacons in the design. Others see soundwaves from speakers, people talking on the corner, or vinyl records. Whatever you see, we hope this new look comes to represent WPR's commitment to creating connections, inspiring ideas and building community. WPR's Karl Schmidt Joins Broadcasters Hall of Fame This month, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association will induct WPR's Karl Schmidt into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame. In honoring Karl, the WBA wrote: "Karl F. Schmidt is the nationally known voice of Wisconsin Public Radio's Chapter A Day and likely holds the record for longest broadcasting career in Wisconsin radio: At the time of his induction into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame at age 90, Schmidt was still on the air and celebrating his 72nd year in radio. Throughout his career, Schmidt's innovative programming and creative leadership influenced the development of public broadcasting locally and nationwide. Schmidt began his broadcasting career at WHA Radio in 1941 and continued it with Armed Forces Radio during World War II. After the war as a returning student at the University of Wisconsin he was hired by Harold McCarty, a 1989 Hall of Fame inductee, to read for WHA Radio's Chapter A Day program. He went on to do color commentary for Badger Football; create Earplay, an internationally lauded radio drama that ran from 1972 to 1980; head the National Center for Audio Experimentation; and serve on the founding board of National Public Radio and the board of National Educational Radio. He has won two Peabody awards, an Armstrong Award, and the world-renowned Prix Italia." Karl joins past Hall of Fame inductees from WPR Harold Engel, Ron Bornstein and Earle Terry.

  • NPR Mideast Coverage April - June 2012
    NPR Mideast Coverage April - June 2012 This report covers NPR's reporting on events and trends related to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians during the second quarter of 2012. The report begins with an assessment of the 37 stories and interviews, covered by this review, that aired from April through June on radio shows produced by NPR. The 37 radio items is just one more than the lowest number for any quarter (in July-September 2008) during the past ten years. Over that period, NPR programs have carried an average of nearly 100 items per quarter related to Israel, the Palestinians, or both. I also reviewed 20 news stories, blogs and other items carried exclusively on NPR's website. All of the radio and website-only items covered by this review are shown on the "Israel-Palestinian coverage" page of the website. The opinions expressed in this report are mine alone. Accuracy I carefully reviewed all items for factual accuracy, with special attention to the radio stories, interviews and website postings produced by NPR staffers. NPR's coverage of the region continues to be remarkably accurate for a news organization with very tight deadlines. NPR has posted no corrections on its website for stories that originated during the April-June quarter; two corrections were posted in April concerning items dealt with in my report for the January-March quarter. I found no outright inaccuracies during the period, but I will point out two instances of misleading use of language. Freelance correspondent Sheera Frenkel reported for All Things Considered on May 8 about the status of a hunger strike among Palestinian prisoners.

  • Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
    Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

    THESIS A USES AND GRATIFICATION STUDY OF PUBLIC RADIO AUDIENCES Submitted by Scott D. Bluebond Speech and Theatre Arts Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring, 1982 COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY April 8, 1982 WE HEREBY RECOMMEND THAT THE THESIS PREPARED UNDER OUR SUPERVISION BY Scott David Bluebond ENTITLED A USES AND GRATIFICATIONS STUDY OF PUBLIC RADIO AUDIENCES BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING IN PART REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Committee on Graduate Work ABSTRACT OF THESIS A USES AND GRATIFICATION STUDY OF PUBLIC RADIO AUDIENCES This thesis sought to find out why people listen to public radio. The uses and gratifications data gathering approach was implemented for public radio audiences. Questionnaires were sent out to 389 listener/contrib­ utors of public radio in northern Colorado. KCSU-FM in Fort Collins and KUNC-FM in Greeley agreed to provide such lists of listener/contributors. One hundred ninety-two completed questionnaires were returned and provided the sample base for the study. The respondents indicated they used public radio primarily for its news, its special programming, and/or because it is entertaining. Her/his least likely reasons for using public radio are for diversion and/or to trans­ mit culture from one generation to the next. The remain­ ing uses and gratifications categories included in the study indicate moderate reasons for using public radio. Various limitations of the study possibly tempered the results. These included the sample used and the method used to analyze the data. Conducting the research necessary for completion of this study made evident the fact that more i i i research needs to be done to improve the uses and gratifica- tions approach to audience analysis.

But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important? Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age? Why did the Romans play such a significant role in our past? And how did a nation as small as Britain come to command such a vast empire? Here, Tim Taylor and the team of expert historians behind Channel 4's Time Team, answer these questions and many more, cataloguing British history in a way that is accessible to all.

We are delighted to be launching our new strategy to take us to 2020 (see opposite), with the ambition of being the leading heritage practice focused on delivering high-quality archaeological projects, providing good value for our clients, communicating exciting and up-to-date information to the public, and being a stimulating, safe and rewarding place to work. Our vision is to be at the forefront of advancing knowledge about the past and working in partnership with others for public benefit. A key element of the strategy is communication, both externally and internally. Since March 2007, we have produced 30 in-house magazines, one every quarter in printed and digital formats, and each packed with project news, in addition to providing information for staff on employment matters. Over time, they have become more glossy, but the challenge has been deciding what to exclude, not how to fill the space.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.
