FUTURE OF NEWS JOURNALISM AT KPFA AND PACIFICA RADIO
Saturday May 31, 7:30 pm
New College Theater, 777 Valencia Street, San Francisco
What can we envision for news journalism at KPFA and Pacifica Radio? Gus
Newport, KPFA's new General Manager, will present his vision for KPFA and
Pacifica. He will discuss how a good organization can become great
and how the founding ideas of Pacifica can expand to bridge the distance
between groups and to meet a multiplicity of needs. Eva Georgia, General
Manager of Pacifica's KPFK in Los Angeles, and veteran KPFA news
journalist Mitch Jeserich will offer perspectives on the future of
journalism at listener-supported Pacifica Radio.
Speakers:
Gus Newport is the new General Manager of KPFA, Pacifica Station 94.1 FM
Berkeley. He is a former Mayor of Berkeley.
Eva Georgia is the General Manager of KPFK, Pacifica Station 90.7 FM Los
Angeles. She is a South African-born journalist and one of the pioneers of
community radio.
Mitch Jeserich is a veteran KPFA Sacramento news correspondent, representing
the KPFA News Department.
Sponsored by the New College of California Media Studies MA Program, Pacifica Radio, and the Alliance for a People's Pacifica (a project of Global Exchange).
