Our radio station is a non-profit community organization run by the Dawson

[creative-radio] A.P. in Deal to Deliver Nonprofits’ Journalism



Starting on July 1, the A.P. will deliver work by the Center for Public
Integrity, the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University,
the Center for Investigative Reporting, and ProPublica to the 1,500
American newspapers that are A.P. members, which will be free to publish
the material.

The A.P. called the arrangement a six-month experiment that could
later be broadened to include other investigative nonprofits, and to
serve its nonmember clients, which include broadcast and Internet
outlets.

"It's something we've talked about for a long time, since part of our
mission is to enable our members to share material with each other," said
Sue Cross, a senior vice president of The A.P. She said the development in
2006 of an Internet-based system for members to receive A.P. material made
it easier to do that kind of sharing, and to offer new products like the
investigative service.

As they sharply reduce their staffs, many newspapers have cut back on
investigations or given them up entirely. When there are barely enough
reporters to cover the daily news from the local courthouse and the school
board, it is harder to justify assigning someone to an in-depth project
that might take weeks or months.

At the same time, independent groups doing investigative journalism have
grown in number and size, fueled by foundations and wealthy patrons, and
are offering their work to newspapers, magazines, television and radio
news programs, and news Web sites. ProPublica was created in 2007 and the
Investigative Reporting Workshop in 2008. The Center for Investigative
Reporting has operated for more than three decades, and is doubling in
size. The four groups combined have more than 50 professional
journalists...."

Outstanding community radio producers celebrated

Montreal — Community radio stations across the country have been
honoured for programming that ranges from a show about the effect of
climate change in the North, to live music in Brandon, Manitoba to an
18-hour day of programming about Palestine that brought together
participants from North America, Europe and Palestine itself.

These and 10 other categories were part of the National Campus and
Community Radio Association's annual Community Radio Awards held in

Founded in 1993 with a contribution from the Standard Radio group, this
year's awards saw a number of new categories to recognize the range of
what stations do.

CKLB-FM, based in Yellowknife, won two awards for outstanding
programming.

"We are so happy here," said the station's Executive Director, Dane
Gibson. "Just like all the radio stations in NCRA we work so hard and

honour for us."

The awards ceremony was hosted by Pat Dillon-Moore from the National
Film Board and former station manager at CKUT-FM in Montreal. She
presented each winner a trophy of a railway spike collected in Montreal
from a decommissioned railyard under the Turcot highway interchange,
itself being dismantled. They represent an ongoing commitment to
connecting the country through technology.

The awards had submissions from new and longstanding members and campus
and community stations working in both rural and urban areas and goes
some way to recognizing the diversity of the community radio sector.

Thanks to jury members Caroline Cote, Janna Graham, Adrian Harewood,
Melissa Kaestner, Stu Mills, and Rebecca Zandbergen for offering their
time and ears. They had to make tough decisions and all mentioned the
