tripled in the last decade in rural Gunnison Valley. The station will
train citizen journalists and produce stories for its daily news show
and 30-minute specials. All content will be in English, with Spanish
translations posted online. The station will share MP3 files of the
features with all the state's community radio stations.
  

*  Voices of Rural Alaska. Koahnic Broadcast Corp. will train people in
remote Alaskan native villages to record interviews, first-person
diaries and reports on issues that affect their daily lives.
One-to-three minute segments will be broadcast monthly on KNBA-FM and
National Native News. They will also be available online as podcasts and
offered to the Alaska Public Radio network.
