Thanks to our loyal listeners who called in with pledges, our spring fund drive brought many new members and solid support for KPLU programs. Businesses offered gifts, vacations, event tickets and restaurant meals as incentives to new members.
Environmental issues affect our economy, culture, politics and quality of life.
Yet increasingly, such news is hard to get as media outlets consolidate, cut staff or ignore the issues altogether. In 1998 alone, KPLU brought more than two hundred news stories on the environment to listeners. Reports were filed on such topics as logging and mining, marine life, endangered plants and animals, pollution, climate change, growth management and the Hanford clean up. KPLU must raise that amount, several times over, to ensure continuity of coverage from year to year.
