KUT & KUTX Publicly Commit To Change

In a courageous open letter to the KUT & KUTX audience published on their website, Debbie Hiott, General Manager & Executive Director, Sylvia Ponce-Carson, Deputy General Manager, Teresa Frontado, Executive Editor, KUT, Matt Reilly, Program Director, KUTX, and the entire KUT & KUTX senior leadership team committed to doing better. They apologized for past mistakes, transparently shared the DEI work they’ve done thus far, and solicited community feedback. Public Media for All applauds this empathetic and bold leadership move.

“Our goal through this process is to increase our outreach to all communities in Central Texas, provide content that better reflects the breadth of culture and experience in the region, and deepen our coverage of the inequities that affect too many residents, particularly those who are Black and/or Latino. We want to make KUT and KUTX a better and more inclusive place to work for all of our colleagues, regardless of their race, ethnicity, creed, gender identity or abilities.”
