@ben Personally, I'd rather contribute to stations in rural areas -- especially #NativeAmerican ones. The big city stations can easily find sponsors, but the small ones will suffer the most!

@ben You know, I was just thinking along the same lines yesterday. "I would start immediately; time is of the essence. The first step, within a month or two, would be to prioritize stations by a combination of vulnerability and likelihood to create a news desert in their absence. These would be tiered into those that can survive independently, those needing moderate support, and stations facing closure, with stations with no alternatives in their localities first in each category. I’d then launch an accelerated fundraising campaign targeting major donors, foundations, and corporate sponsors specifically aimed and preserving the stations that were most in need."
Great article! I hope TPTB in #PublicBroadcasting are reading it!https://werd.io/if-i-ran-npr-and-pbs/

@ben "Not only will these communities lose that much-needed information, when a community doesn’t have adequate local news, it often experiences increased political corruption. There are real knock-on effects for citizens of these communities: a lack of scrutiny leads to more opportunities to be exploited."

$179 billion for #Military projects, but $1 billion to keep Americans safe, informed and educated (via #PublicBroadcasting) is too much?!! They only want soldiers to fix the machines when they break down! They don't care about science, culture, building community, etc.
