I think all citizens of Baltimore would agree that we need people on the WYPR board who look like most of the listeners…..i.e. office workers and second grade teachers. I think then we would be rid of the NPR News….Wall Street all the time format that people loath to hear as they eat their granola. The commentators seem to have a bias toward corporate political and economic stances rather than with stances that reflect public interest.
We see on the WYPR Board what one would categorize as a shareholder group. This matches the Maryland Public Service Commission and their shareholder decisions and our State Attorney General Gansler and his shareholder application of Rule of Law. One who lives in Maryland would think the entire population must be mostly shareholders rather than the 5% of the population normally falling into that category.
When I was a public media Board member, we used to agonize over finding someone for the Board that had some connection to money to help with capital. This is what makes public media. Baltimore needs to return to a public interest media.
