KNKX Joins PMFA

Joey Cohn, General Manager of KNKX, offered the following about why they decided to participate.

“I’m proud to have KNKX support the goals of Public Media for All. We are working to build a station whose content and staff represent the diversity of our community. Our plan is to focus that work in three areas—audience, staff & culture, and content.

AUDIENCE—Our work here is to deepen and expand our listenership to be a more inclusive organization, and to represent the entire population as a true community station.

STAFF & CULTURE—Creating an inclusive workplace in which all voices are encouraged and affirmed is a core part of our values as an organization. We acknowledge the need to add diversity to our staff and create an inclusive culture.

CONTENT—We believe that diversity is essential to authentic, accurate storytelling and reporting. We want to introduce audiences to people and ideas they would not be aware of if it weren’t for KNKX. We honor jazz and blues - music from the African Diaspora. We want the music to remain relevant, innovative, uplifting, and celebrated in our community and worldwide.”
