GDR News takes flight Our news department is coming along nicely: Expect to hear reports from our new West Coast bureau chief, award-winning journalist and poet Kimberly Beavers, and from East Coast-based news director/editor Natalie Davis (plus, we are thisclose to landing an excellent Washington, DC, correspondent) Any tips, send 'em to the editor And welcome our new Membership Coordinator Nicole Potter... The CRB & RIAA are sticking it to netradio. PLEASE HELP US SURVIVE! Join Grateful Dread Radio -- your membership will help us try to meet rising expenses, make necessary technical and programming updates, continue and expand our grassroots work... in short -- to stay on the air.
TO-DO LIST: Write me to learn about Supporting Membership, Supporting Sponsor, in-kind donations, fiscal sponsorship by licensed nonprofits, and underwriting opportunities. Please take our GDR SURVEY. And please take action: Urge lawmakers in Congress to stop unfair efforts by greedy capitalists to keep netradio from serving the global community. Do your part to make sure we still have access to artists and ideas generally ignored and dismissed by the mainstream media and a clueless mass culture that seems happy to let big media control and limit their choices.
