| | Dear John,
It’s Devin, host of The Bay podcast. As journalists, we don’t often get a chance to reach out directly to our audience members. This year, more than most, I feel fortunate to work for a public media station that keeps us all connected.
Member support empowers us to tell deeply personal, locally-rooted news stories, like The Bay’s recent series on democracy, By the People.
Throughout the series, I was often moved by how our audience responded to all the different ways you can engage in democracy in the Bay Area. People want to contribute to make the Bay a better place. And that starts with an honest look at who we are, what we’re doing, and building a relationship with people, like you, who want to understand this diverse, dynamic and complex place we call home.
Because you value this kind of local reporting, I encourage you to make a gift and start your membership today.
The way I see it, public media really is one of the most democratic institutions. Everyone in the KQED family—members, journalists, engineers, producers and staff—contributes to KQED’s free, independent news, information and entertainment programs. We work together for the benefit of our community. And an informed, inspired and involved community is the foundation of a healthy democracy.
We promise to get back to our regular programming the moment we meet our $1.5 million fundraising goal.
So please start your membership with a gift today and help us reach our goal as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for your support of public media. | | | |
