They want to be board members to help staff and management keep Pacifica’s vital news, music, arts and information viable and sustainable. They look forward to promoting and marketing KPFA to new audiences. In short, they want to be responsible members of a serious non-profit board....

Pacifica’s Current Board Structure is Destroying the Network Carol Spooner's finger-wagging review of the current state of Planet Pacifica ignores the crushing impact of the new 122-member National Board structure. Top-heavy, hugely expensive, conflict-ridden and racially polarized, this five-year old Board system was instituted to assure greater democracy and prevent the corporatization of Pacifica.
But instead of protecting Pacifica, the new governance structure is destroying Pacifica. Itʼs bred factionalism, dysfunction, self-dealing, a plethora o...

KPFA’s Unpaid Staff and the Elections As a longstanding member of the KPFA unpaid staff, I am quite a bit puzzled and more than a bit annoyed by how the unpaid staff are being used as an issue in the current KPFA Local Station Board elections. In fact, I’m down right aggravated to see how one slate, the Independents for Community Radio, is speaking in the name of us unpaid staff at the station. Well, let me tell you, they don’t speak for me....

Bernard White Defends Himself. Bernard White, dismissed Program Director of Pacifica station WBAI (99.5 FM, NYC) has launched a nationwide campaign to get his job back, alleging that his firing is part of a racial purge throughout Pacifica (see “Kicking Pacifica When It's Down” at http://www.takeforwardwbai.org/pacificakickingdown.html). Alternative analyses point to incompetence resulting in a 6-year downtrend in listeners, and fiscal mismanagement which may include not just incompetence but embezzlement....

Time to Get Real About ACORN “Controversy” -- and Republican Double Standards Wednesday, September 23, 2009 : It's time to get real about the Republican distraction du jour - the great ACORN controversy. The bottom line is this: if the same standard used to prevent ACORN from receiving federal contracts were applied to many large corporations -- Boeing, financial institutions like AIG and CitiCorp, not to speak of private military contractors like Blackwater -- they would all have been barred as federal contractors long ago....
