Community Radio News


2Letter to WORT:

News Facilitator?  Is this metamorphic for News Director, assignment desk editor, or city desk editor?  Audio and print job descriptions as well as responsibilities, have definitely evolved in my mass communications career. This title reminds me of the generational terminology describing my ancestors. We have transcended from darkie, to colored, to Negro, to black, to African-American. Consequently, News Facilitator must describe a news emancipator.

Are you looking for someone to free your news department from the manifesto restrictions of public affairs, subjective reporting, and social norms it currently subscribes? If WORT hires a News Facilitator every year, WORT will not be a reliable consistent source of news representing a diversity of economic and social interests.  This lack of cohesion affects your credibility.

The civil rights battle of the cardinal century is for news people can use; and information that educates participation in a democracy.  Radio news and Web 2.0 News can cooperatively transfer relevant documentation about everyday issues that concern your listeners. The transparency of news and information is necessary to fulfill Jefferson's dream of democracy.  When Obama laments on the demise of a free and fair press; he must not know of empirical research confirming the egalitarian empathy of community radio news.

Still, opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one. Some community radio stations process paternalistic liberal opinions. Others have a more daring narcissistic agenda.  WORT should be part of the paradigm shift of information, not a prisoner of nepotistic ideologies. An annual replacement of a 'News Facilitator' stifles press connections, factual resources and community trust. Bridging social capital requires a qualitative and quantitative facilitator of news and information. Your listeners deserve timely conversations that accurately reflect their lifestyles. The transparency of commercial objectivity clearly reveals the intertwined rhetoric of scientific conservatism with public and private broadcasters.   

WORT has the community responsibility of challenging  the monopolistic influence of public and private radio ideology. Multi-media Web 2.0 allows WORT to evolve within the paradigm shift of information. Citizen journalists, lobbyists, public relation departments, university researchers, non-government organizations and government departments are waiting for WORT to take charge of this era's destiny of reforming inequality and injustice.

This hidden power can only be established by a 'News Facilitator' who can manipulate traditional discourse of news and information by educating listeners with multi-media reformations. Your specialty shows are unique and charismatic for sub-culture protagonists.  But the meta-cognitive transformations from news and information, activates a community that has voted for change.

The only change news can believe in is radio. The constant force in everyones life, is radio news. WORT NEWS is on the edge of an communications abyss that teeters on antiquity.  Believe in my practical attributes as a 'News Facilitator', and I will incorporate new changes your listeners will eagerly and easily grasp as news that is vital to their everyday lives.

The future of journalism is WORT NEWS.
