Connecting to Latino Public Radio Programs
Station Resource Group
Strategy, analysis, planning, and collaboration. Public radio's leading stations sharpen their operations and shape their vision by working together in the Station Resource Group.
As part of its Grow the Audience project, the Station Resource Group (SRG) recently issued a Research Paper on the use of public radio by college-educated African Americans and Latinos. Visit their website at to read or download a copy.
The SRG also introduced a new feature on the GTA web site Thinking Audience, which is a series of "thought starter" essays. "The Revolution May Not Be Televised But It Will Be on Radio," a piece by Flo Hernández-Ramos of the Latino Public Radio Consortium was the first up. Other contributors include Loretta Rucker of the African American Public Radio Consortium. Bill Buzenberg offers Five Tenets for Public Radio’s Future, drawing on his years as news chieftain at NPR and MPR|APM. Marc Ramsey expands on themes from his well-received keynote at the PRPD conference in A Future for Public Radio.
The Latino, Native American and African American Public Radio Consortia recently declared themselves the New Nation Media Group. This powerful partnership will deepen and enrich the color and texture of the national conversation in public radio about every thing and many things – government, foreign policy, the economy, religion, family, race relations.
In the next five years public radio should reflect, not a revolution, but merely demonstrate that it has kept pace with the evolution of America.
