KALW Joins PM4A

KALW shared their recommended DEI resources and their plans for small group discussions with their staff on their website, and the following message from Tina Pamintuan, General Manager,
was shared in KALW’s November e-newsletter.

“Next Tuesday, Nov. 10, our staff will set aside their regular duties to participate in the Public Media For All Day of Action.

Of the 266 stations in the NPR system, KALW is one of 10 (with more to come) choosing to make the commitment to take a hard look at every corner of our organization. We will examine hiring practices, compensation, programming, journalistic sourcing, audience outreach, partnerships, and more, through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Most importantly, we will make changes and commitments along the way to do better.

Over the last few years, public media has experienced its own reckoning over racial and gender equity. I believe it is vital to discuss these issues with our listeners directly. After all, you deserve to know the circumstances under which public media is made, and how it is growing to serve all of our communities better. We invite you to be a part of this journey with us. Keep connected to your community by tuning in, asking questions, and sharing your thoughts.”
