In the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, 25% of 18 – 35 year
olds got their news from John Stewart’s “The Daily Show” and
“Saturday Night Live.” We could help get local progressive information to
all
age groups if we have a radio presence through the 2008
election.
Alternative media are quietly on the
rise, but most people still get their news from mainstream
sources. We'd like to think that progressive talk
radio in New Mexico can bring information from seldom-heard
voices to the wider public, and provide greater journalistic
breadth to mainstream media. We're not ready to give up our
voice to radio valium - air
wave tranquilizers for the masses.
