Reserve your Webinar Seat Now at: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/775943408 Come hear about Northern Community Radio (KAXE) foray into the world of online news with its Community Supported Journalism project. As part of their Northern Community Internet network of local internet sites, KAXE tested a model for financially supporting local online news coverage. While the test didn't deliver the volume of donations hoped for, you can come and hear about lessons learned from this innovative initiative. Join Maggie Montgomery and Scott Hall from Northern Community Radio to learn about their Community Supported Journalism project. KAXE is a community radio station located in Grand Rapids Minnesota serving rural northern Minnesota. Their Community Supported Journalism project targeted several small towns paying local journalists to cover stories of local and/or regional significance. The goal was to create a service that could be supported b y financial contributions from readers and underwriters. Their efforts didn't yield the level of financial support they hoped for, but they learned a lot in the process and will share their experience trying to apply the public radio funding model to online news programming.

Bruce's question: Once the songs starts, would announcing all three details (Artist, Song & Album) be against the rules, since the announcement is not PRIOR to play? The correct answer (and this comes directly from GSB attorney Melodie Virtue) is "announcing artist, song and album is ok once the song has started. In fact, on the web site, it's required while the song is being streamed." My apologies and my thanks to Melodie. Ginny Z.

Worth reading through. CSM does a lot of research to support improving practices in all aspects of producing community media. Nan Rubin * * * * * * * Nan Rubin Community Media Services 4700 Broadway #2J NYC NY USA 10040 212-569-3391 www.nanrubin.com "The first hurdle is the people who will not accept the change that's already happened." -- Joss Whedon * * * * This report authored by Center for Social Media researchers is part of a suite of CPB-supported research and discussions related to public media 2.0. Titled Scan and Analysis of Best Practices in Digital Journalism In and Outside U.S. Public Broadcasting, it examines the current environment for online reporting projects, and lays out eight best practices for news producers to consider: Involve: Use digital platforms to provide information, motivation, and tools for users to participate in current affairs debates and related communities. Go deeper: Integrate databases, maps, conversation tools, and video and audio extras to give users the information they crave by adding expanded coverage, or take on in-depth specializations such as investigative reporting or science news. Reach new and non-traditional publics: Use digital platforms to engage with more targeted networks of users who share common identities, problems, issues or interests, including minority, ethnic, and low-income p ublics that are often underserved. Repurpose, remix, recycle: Repurpose content by shifting it from one platform to another or aggregating news and data focused on specific issues. This helps build the layered information attractive to users. Collaborate: Maximize resources focused on shared issues, locations, and user communities by involving different media outlets as well as related organizations, institutions, and publics. Enable media literacy: Help users participate by teaching them how to take advantage of new media resources and become more frequent, more effective users. Play with form to innovate and integrate new technologies: Innovate with new formats, interfaces, and platforms for delivering news and information and for fostering audience engagement. Promote political discussion and participation: Political issues spark rigorous discussions and inspire action. Take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen connections to users by informing them how to get involved, who to contact, and where to participate. Led by Center for Social Media Director Pat Aufderheide, the research team included myself and Research Fellows Matt Nisbet and Katie Donnelly. Carin Dessauer, a senior fellow at iFOCOS, conducted additional research on political and commercial journalism practices. We developed initial best practices by surveying recent reports, conference proceedings and reporting projects, and then verified and deepened descriptions of these best practices through in-depth interviews with 10 experts in new media reporting. We then illustrate d each best practice with descriptions of a variety of related digital journalism projects. In many cases, the journalism experts we consulted offered analyses that echoed the conclusions of our February white paper, Public Media 2.0: Dynamic, Engaged Publics. Bill Densmore, who directs the Media Giraffe project, emphasized that user participation is central to the public service aspect of public media: "People feel really shut out of the content process, and if there is a way to involve more along content creation, productions, forums, discussions, and follow-ups-the whole life of content-the public should be included in that process in a better, more meaningful way." American University's Chuck Lewis, who heads up the Investigative Reporting Workshop, predicted a bright future for digital news: "I believe over the next few years, we will be able to do really spectacular national and international reporting projects, using thousands of citizens to assist in the process. I am talking about a directed project where you combine the seasoned experience of journalists with the knowledge and astonishing eclectic range that citizens can provide, melding that together with responsible, careful, and fact-checked projects." And Lee Rainie, who directs the Pew Internet & American Life Project, observed: The best news organizations allow citizens to contribute directly to news stories. They provide space and tools to allow the wisdom of crowds and the immediacy of direct crowd observation to show up20in their content. Citizens post pictures, text and videos of breaking news story that provide eyewitness observation that is otherwise missed when credentialed reporters are not on the scene. In addition, citizen involvement allows coverage of things that would not be otherwise covered...It's one thing to allow letters to the editor. In the Internet age, it's quite another thing for news organizations to be involved in active and ongoing conversation with those who "consume" their news. This is [the] age of transparency for all organizations, including news operations. So, the most forward-thinking news organizations explain themselves and then listen and react seriously and respectfully when members of their audience have further things to say. Our scan also confirmed that public broadcasting outlets still have a ways to go in adapting to this new news environment. There have been many vibrant experiments in the field, however. We note these in the CPB report, and have documented many at greater length in our Public Media Showcase. We hope that this report will inform and spur yet more-and more sophisticated-public media 2.0 projects. * * * * * Ginny Z.

The FCC sees only that there were violations, and somebody needs to pay it. Otherwise there would be lots of paper transfers to avoid liability. (hmmm........) If the new owner knew about the violations, the associated risk should have been considered in determining the purchase price. If not, the new owner might have a case to sue the previous owner to recover the loss. I see $10000 each for 3 commercial stations. How does this compare to the purchase price? to the annual budget?

This test involves shutting down the Network Operations Center (NOC) in Washington, D.C., activating the BuNOC and transmitting live program streams and program files to the Galaxy 16 Satellite from St. Paul, MN. Please note: * On October 18, the ContentDepot portal will be offline from 15:00 ET to 18:00 ET, and from 21:00 ET to 00:30 ET. * From 18:00 ET to 21:00ET on October 18, the ContentDepot portal will be available but on a backup site with a different web address: https://backup.prss.org/portal/cd.portal (Note: This link will only be active during the test and emergencies.) * The portal pages will have an obvious indicator that you're connected to the backup portal. The backup portal has all the functions of the regular portal. * Producers will be able to upload files, and stations will be able to subscribe to new programs or modify existing subscriptions from 18:00 ET to 21:00 ET (all subscriptions made on the backup portal will be synchronized with the primary portal; there's no need to make changes in both locations). * In the event of breaking news, decoders assigned to the Breaking News channel should operate normally. * Some stream decoders may lose lock on the satellite carrier once it is switched to the BuNOC. Stations that experience this problem will need to reset their decoder's LNB offset. Instructions for performing this task can be found on PRSS ContentDepot basecamp. * While we do not expect any interruption of streams during the test, stations may want to consider fix tuning a decoder during the test period. Instructions for locally tuning a stream decoder can be found on the PRSS ContentDepot basecamp. Note: Manually tuning a decoder will NOT prevent a loss of signal due to an LNB offset problem, as described above. * Any file deliveries from the ContentDepot that are scheduled to take place during the test will occur as normal. The PRSS HelpDesk will be fully operational during the test. Stations and producers with questions or concerns should continue to contact the Help Desk at 800.971.7677 or prsshelp at npr.org. WebDACS will be available during the test. The NOC will use WebDACS to communicate with the system if there is urgent programming or system news. The PRSS will publish additional updates to the system if any changes to the BuNOC test schedule are required. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PRSS Help Desk at 800.971.7677 or prsshelp at npr.org. Ginny Z.

It is purely an apparatus for distribution, for mere sharing out. So here is a positive suggestion: change this apparatus over from distribution to communication. The radio would be the finest possible communication apparatus in public life, a vast network of pipes. That is to say, it would be if it knew how to receive as well as transmit, how to let the listener speak as well as hear, how to bring someone into a relationship instead of isolating them."

We are contemplating making a change from our standard letter appeal to include a year-end wrap up of our successes, events, etc. Kind of a "state of the station." Do you do something along these lines, and do you include it with an appeal, or do an appeal separately? I am concerned about our year-end "ask" being diluted with too much information, but am also weighing the fact that it may entice folks to give.

On 10/7, NPR presented the principles of a recommended HD power increase to the FCC. This recommendation was formulated by NPR Labs with the help of the Public Radio Regulatory Group working on High Power HD issues, chaired by Scott Hanley, after a careful review of the results of our in-depth summer research into the impact of an unmanaged increase in HD power on stations' analog stations and reading services. Details are at the bottom of this message. We are now working to inform next weeks' CPB digital consultancy meeting on system needs concerning the likely-to-be-quickly authorized increase. All FM HD stations on the air - or in the planning stages - please fill out the following short four-question survey to provide us with needed information about your station's needs and interests regarding the implementation of the pending power increase. It's brief and should only take about 5 minutes for you to give us a topline assessment to inform system priorities on HD Radio funding needs going forward. Please fill it out by close of business on Tuesday, October 13. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=VD0QVi7XtpW65eYiuR3UfQ_3d_3d About Public Radio's HD Power Increase Recommendations On 10/7, NPR presented the principles of a recommended HD power increase to the FCC. This recommendation was formulated by NPR Labs with the help of the Public Radio Regulatory Group working on High Power HD issues, chaired by Scott Hanley, after a careful review of the results of NPR Labs' in-depth summer research into the impact of an unmanaged increase in HD power on our analog stations and reading services. In broad strokes, we proposed that the FCC approve an interim period of symmetrical HD power with a blanket 6dB (4x) HD power increase for all FM HD stations -- commercial and noncommercial. This is four times the current power level of 1%. This recommendation was conditioned upon a set of specific safeguards and the rapid development of solutions that would curtail analog interference and address related radio reading services issues. Specifically: we recommended (1) expedited deployment of alternative HD power increase solutions including asymmetrical power, (2) expedited deployment of reading service digital transition support, and (3) provisions to remediate harmful interference that may follow a closely spaced adjacent station's power increase. The HD High Power issue involves tradeoffs in serving the public, as is the case with our analog AM and FM Stereo services. We did not expect to find a perfect "win-win" scenario and our research did not disappoint us. But this study did provide critical missing information on the nature and consequences of the commercial proposed power increase to the 10% (10x) level. We believe our recommendations to the Commission represent the best achievable solutions to significantly improving HD coverage indoors and for portables, and addressing public radio's unique susceptibilities to interference. Even at the lower recommended compromise power of 4% (4x), without the expedited development of additional solutions, unregulated harmful interference could occur, with some listeners in fringe areas finding the stations un-listenable. In the last few weeks we have been in communication with iBiquity about our compromise approach based on these findings, and they have been responsive, publicly accepting some of our proposals in principle. We will continue to work toward an agreement that we can support in good conscience. Ginny Z.

We are faced with the challenge of maintaining relevance and buy-in amongst our target demographic. Like many broadcasters, our funding depends on that. Our plan is to create a board of manageable size, but still large enough to adequately represent the population of our target demo as a whole. I am interested in feedback from any of you as to things to look for in assembling an effective board, strategies to utilize, pitfalls to avoid, etc. Our particular station, KCWU-FM, is licensed to a University and serves a primary target demographic of 18-25 year old males and females. I realize many of your stations serve a larger community audience; however, I would imagine many of the guiding principles for assembling an effective advisory board are similar. We want the board to be balanced in its membership by gender, academic discipline/background, and also be proportionally representative of the ethnic ratios present in our local population. Also, we don't want any board members to have past or present affiliation with the station nor any of its staff, to maintain objectivity. Again, any feedback is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Chris Hull Chris Hull, General Manager KCWU-FM (88.1 The 'Burg) (509) 963-2282--Office (509) 899-0709--Mobile hullc at cwu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
