As many of you may know, here in the United States legislation was recently introduced to the Senate to cut all federal funding for public media such as NPR and PBS, media sources that the American public turns to and trusts. A poll last week shows that 69% of Americans oppose cutting funding. We need to make sure our voices are heard! Get involved by signing the petition and reposting to facebook or twitter. Let your congress members know the importance of public media to you by calling and e-mailing. Together we can make sure these news sources continue to exist!
How do you connect to public media? Do you listen to NPR on the way to work, did you grow up with PBS? Leave your connections in the comments!
