To listen, to seek, to understand This world is diverse—we come from all sorts of backgrounds, belief systems, ethnicities. And in this part of the world these days, it certainly can feel as if our social and political climate is divisive. But in the broad ey ail community that is public nB h o J radio, a number of things unite us. We crave journalism that is informative, researched, fact-based, and dependable. Journalism that makes our democracy stronger. And when we need a break from the news, we long for music that is in turn stimulating and soothing. As we listen, we seek to understand, and to never stop learning. Public radio is a voice of civility, and one of our lifelines to civilization. Our station connects Indiana to the world. More than 4,000 listeners to WFIU and WFIU2— from Kokomo to French Lick, from Terre Haute to Seymour—have responded in kind by choosing to become listener-members. With other sources of support in peril, yours is as important as ever. Have you renewed your membership this year? If you gave in the spring, or if you’re a sustaining member, would you consider giving a bit extra this fall? Our on-air membership campaign, running from October 16 through 23, is a perfect time to lend your support again. Listener support keeps WFIU independent and strong, poised to deliver another year of the quality programming you desire. Nowhere else does such a partnership exist between an enlightened community and the necessary public service WFIU provides. Our website, WFIU.org, makes it especially easy for you to give. I’m proud to be a sustaining member of WFIU. Let’s stay tuned in together, knowing we helped make another year of essential radio possible.
