Station Manager Canton, NY Station Manager Canton, NY Search conducted by Development Resources, inc. www.driconsulting.com A NORTH COUNTRY TREASURE North Country Public Radio, based in Canton, NY, in St. Lawrence County, is a small public radio station that consistently punches above its weight and touches lives far beyond the geographic reach of its transmitters. Broadcasting across the entire Adirondack North Country, western Vermont, and southeastern Ontario and shaping national news through strong relationships with National Public Radio, NCPR is committed to broad public service, with a mission to inform, enrich, and connect people on-air, online, and in their communities. It delivers a diverse range of programming in a commercial-free format, ranging across NPR programs, including All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Fresh Air; award-winning news coverage with regional broadcasts, features, and interviews; and an eclectic mix of locally-hosted music programs. Under the leadership of a long-serving leadership team that includes Station Manager Ellen Rocco, News Director Martha Foley, and Director of Broadcast and Digital Content Jackie Sauer, NCPR pioneered the adoption of local journalism as a model of viable public media in the 21st century, setting a trend that has been widely pursued at stations across the country. Its local commitment is reflected in listener support: gifts from household members and regional businesses generate more than $1.5M annually, representing the single largest source of its funding. Its vision has made it the recipient of numerous awards, as well, from the Society of Professional Journalists, Radio Television Digital News Association, Public Radio News Directors, Inc., Catholic Academy of Communication Professionals, New York State Associated Press Broadcasters Association, and Syracuse Press Club. NCPR has also been recognized with a Governor's Arts Award and by community organizations as diverse as The Adirondack Park Agency and New York State United Teachers. Today NCPR has the opportunity to continue innovating at the nexus of change facing public media institutions. NCPR is a proudly university-licensed radio station in a nation with a declining number of them. Housed at St. Lawrence University— a vibrant community of 2,500 students from 43 states and 53 countries—it serves a sprawling and diverse region, reaching both Canada and large parts of the Northeastern U.S. The region is unique, with a vast outdoors, a powerful local culture, and a small town environment that is home to both seasonal residents and a year-round population. A respected source of news and information, NCPR is a powerful voice for the values of fact-based, balanced, and independent journalism in a time of media turmoil and works closely with NPR and other media to amplify its voice and defend these values. The future of NCPR’s public service will revolve around its relationship to both the university and its broad base of listeners. NCPR has numerous opportunities to deepen the station’s role as a resource in students’ academic lives, their career preparation, and their participation as community citizens. While reinforcing university ties, NCPR also aims to establish an off-campus location that will broaden community accessibility. As a good fiscal steward of the university’s dollars, it aims to continue to increase private contributions, as well. The next Station Manager will lead NCPR through these exciting challenges with the news team as the station’s continued backbone. Search conducted by Development Resources, inc. www.driconsulting.com THE NCPR TEAM Building Virtual Community. NCPR’s news team is the foundation of its superior reputation in the national public media network. With an ethical commitment to producing fact-based journalism that adds value to the community it reports on, the team has delivered a consistent roster of in-depth investigative series, breaking daily news, and a regional Story of the Day podcast that all provide a virtual gathering place for the North Country and make it a better place to live. The station also helps put the North Country on the map, bringing the region’s culture and stories to national and international audiences. Recent news series have probed energy policy, climate change, and aboriginal rights in Canada; shared the stories of families who spend their summers in the Thousand Islands or the Adirondacks; and produced “audio postcards” that take listeners and readers on virtual tours ranging from Lake Champlain to skiing on Tug Hill to swimming in Lake Ontario. Leveraging Digital Technologies. The commitment to public service has put NCPR at the forefront of initiatives to utilize digital technologies to build virtual community in new ways. NCPR’s North Country at Work (pictured right) is one of the signal examples of its innovation. Based on the premise that everyone has a work-related story to share, NCPR has collaborated with town historians, librarians, scholars, museum staff, non-profit organizations, and citizens to collect and digitize the pieces of those stories— photographs, oral histories, documents, and other content—to explore the hidden history of people’s livelihoods across northern New York, the ways they have changed over time, and how their experience is part of a larger rural experience throughout the U.S. Winning Awards. The news team’s integrity, innovation, and quality have earned NCPR more than a half-dozen awards in 2018 alone, including a Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Chi Delta Award; Public Radio News Directors, Inc. Division B recognition in multiple categories; two Edward R. Murrow awards; and two 1st Place awards from the New York State Associated Press Association. Securing Support. NCPR has the opportunity to leverage its record of innovation and its local relationships—both inside and outside St. Lawrence University—to increase funding for its pioneering community-building initiatives. There is room to grow both individual memberships and underwriting sales, and seasonal fluctuations in the region’s population create opportunities to cultivate part-time and year-round residents. With an accomplished fundraiser and relationship builder as Station Manager, NCPR will be well-positioned to pursue those opportunities and continue sustaining the North Country.

    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.

PART II – Receive the Iowa Public Radio 2017-2022 Strategic Plan. PART I Executive Summary: Iowa Public Radio informs, enriches, and engages Iowans through high quality news and cultural programming. IPR’s statewide public radio network, which includes a total of 24 stations licensed to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa, now serves 240,000 listeners with three programming streams: News, News/Studio One, and Classical. IPR’s combined radio groups serve rural and urban Iowa, touching all of Iowa’s 99 counties. (See service map on Attachment B.) The history of public radio in Iowa is long and proud – Iowa State University and the University of Iowa each have public radio stations that are almost a century old, with FCC licenses that were among the first 100 radio licenses ever granted; IPR’s statewide network is seen as a model by other states. On behalf of the three public universities, Iowa Public Radio manages assets (24 stations) worth $11.1 million and 15 university staff (four at ISU, six at UNI, and five at SUI). IPR promotes the three public universities through regular on-air announcements and helps the universities accomplish their outreach missions by regularly featuring university experts on IPR talk shows.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Research Division Report
    Arts and Cultural Programs on Radio and Television PREFACE Early in 1976, the Research Division of the National Endowment for the Arts requested competitive proposals for a planning study aimed at a national survey of arts and cultural programming on commercial and public radio and television. This project was requested by the Public Media Program. The proposal from Research and Programming Services was selected. This small media research con­ sulting firm had been extensively involved in the analysis of program content and audience analysis for a number of organizations in the public broadcasting industry and had extensive knowledge of the various television audience measurement systems at the outset of the project. Plans to follow up this planning study with a national survey have been dropped, partly because of major changes in personnel and program emphasis in the Public Media Program (now called Media Arts). The extensive material collected during this planning study, however, can be so helpful in understanding the decision-making processes on arts and cultural subjects in the media that this condensation of the final report has been prepared for general distribution. This study presents information on the following questions: How is the phrase "arts and cultural programming" understood by key executives? What terminology is used to describe the lroadcasting that includes significant programming about arts and cultural subjects? What kinds of programs are designated by the broad­ casting industry as arts and cultural? How do the funds

W. Bush. WUSF TV/DT is proud to present this series on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. throughout January and February. Narrated by David McCullough, Linda Hunt, Jason Robards, Stacy Keach, and David Ogden Stiers, American Experience is brought to life through archival footage and analysis from noted historians and family members of the former leaders. Their stories remind us that past, present and future presidents faced and continue to face many of the same issues. How strong a role should government take in sustaining the economy? Does the two-party system faithfully reflect the will of the people? Should the United States police the world? How important is military service? The legacies, victories and failures of seven history-making presidents still echo in the 21st century.

  • NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO All Things Considered
    NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO All Things Considered June 1, 2004 Profile: Fallout from a Recent California Supreme Court Decision that Places Restrictions on Custodial Parents who Wish to Relocate with their Children ROBERT SIEGEL, host: This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I’m Robert Siegel. MELISSA BLOCK, host: And I’m Melissa Block. Few areas of family law are more emotional than child custody cases. Some of the toughest battles arise when a divorced parent wants to relocate with the children for a new job or to start a new life. Now a closely watched decision by the California Supreme Court has intensified the conflict. In a case that divided children’s advocates, the state high court had told custodial parents, most often mothers, that they risk losing their children if they try to move away. NPR’s Elaine Korry reports from San Francisco. ELAINE KORRY reporting: The California Supreme Court recently ordered two boys – 12-year-old Garrett LaMusga and his 10-year- old brother, Devlen – taken from their divorced mother who raised them since birth. The mother, Susan Navarro, had remarried and wanted to move from the San Francisco Bay area to Ohio with her new husband. The boys’ father, Gary LaMusga, objected, saying the move would destroy his already troubled relationship with his sons. A trial court agreed, and ordered custody transferred to the father if the mother moved. After years of litigation, the case reached the state Supreme Court. Gary LaMusga’s victory became a rallying point for divorced fathers across California. Mr. ERIC TRAUB: Frankly, I think it makes my case a slam-dunk.
