As the host of the daily morning program Politics Done Right, I have built and integrated an on-air and online presence that extends the reach of the airwaves, creating a continually intersecting community I consider access to the airwaves a privilege and as such treat my access to it with the respect it deserves my ensuring anyone listening feels that they have the have heard will enhance there understanding of any of the many politcal issues that we are sorrounded by.
The goal as a staff rep on the PNB will be to listen to those throughout the network and offer advice and suggestions, based on my experiences with the public at large, to ensure the network remains a valued asset to the entire community, in line with our foundation’s values.
The media landscape is not changing; it has changed. I have used my daily program at KPFT, along with my online presence, to integrate various streams into a single platform. As such, our little KPFT station has brought in listeners/viewers from across the country and around the world on a daily basis.
Reaching a new audience does not require abandoning the previous audience; it means integrating them. I hope that, as a member of the PNB who listens to all inputs, we find ways not just to integrate one program or station with its audience, but to integrate the entire network into an integral, common cause aligned with our values in a forward-looking manner.
I have written several books and have been a member of several organizations, Move to Amend, Coffee Party USA, Houston Peace and Justice Center, KPFT LSB, Pacifica National Board Member, and many other movement organizations where communication is imperative. I want to bring the skills I have developed over the years to invite EVERYONE to the table and ensure ALL feel respected.
