Morning Edition Debuts New Theme Music Morning Edition has a new sound! The program launched its new theme music last month. Morning Edition’s historic theme debuted in 1979. The original BJ Leiderman composition and subsequent arrangements by musician Jim Pugh have been heard for decades. NPR worked with Man Made Music on developing the new Morning Edition theme. In addition to NPR, Man Made Music has worked with major brands, including AT&T, IMAX, Nissan, and HBO, among others. NPR and Man Made Music used the work of Leiderman as an inspiration for a fresh and modern sound, while also referencing the show’s historic music and honoring its legacy. “As we look to draw in new listeners to NPR programming and grow public radio’s presence on multiple platforms, a new theme will give us a way to better reflect what Morning Edition is today, and attract listeners who have not yet discovered the program’s dynamic mix of engaging, informative, and often surprising stories about today’s world,” said NPR CEO Jarl Mohn.
We understand the importance of Morning Edition to the thousands of WFIU listeners who make it a part of their daily routines. NPR and WFIU want every aspect of the show to be as engaging as possible, and are excited to introduce the new sound to our broadcasts. What do you think of the new theme? Send your feedback to wfiu@indiana.edu or call 812-855-1357. We’ll be letting NPR know what we’re hearing from our listeners.
Underwriting: For information on how your business can underwrite particular programs on WFIU, call (800) 662-3311. Volunteers: Information about volunteer opportunities is available at (812) 855-1357, or by sending an email to wfiu@indiana.edu.

This month on WTIU television Endeavour Season 6 Sunday, June 16 at 9pm Shaun Evans returns for the sixth season of Endeavour, the popular prequel to the beloved Inspector Morse series. Set in the 1960s, the show follows Endeavour Morse in his early years.
Your Gifts Help Make WFIU’s Vision a Reality So much has changed in the nearly 70 years since WFIU first began. In many ways, public radio has grown up. What was once a struggling—almost experimental—operation has become a permanent and positive presence in the lives of so many in our listening area and across the country. We continue to depend upon regular membership contributions from old friends and new generations of listeners. But in the long run, our future will depend on special gifts from our most loyal friends who wish to help WFIU grow stronger and more Page 10 / June 2019

Following the dissolution of the Oxford City Police and the merging with Thames Valley Constabulary at the end of the last season, the new season picks up with the team dispersed as they find their feet in their various new roles.
stable for future generations. One of the most satisfying things about taking time to examine your estate plans is making decisions that benefit worthy organizations you have supported during your lifetime. In fact, the most significant gifts nonprofits receive come from the estates of regular contributors who decide to share a portion of their assets after taking care of family and friends. Friends of public radio can express their deep commitment to WFIU by remembering us in their will, or naming WFIU as a beneficiary in their retirement or life insurance plans. This approach allows you to make a lasting contribution without affecting your current financial security and freedom—and in today’s world, that looks better and better!
Meanwhile, Joan has settled back in Oxford and is training to work in social services under the mentor of new manager Viv Wall (Alison Newman). Endeavour and the team are pushed to their limits in this season, as they uncover the truth behind the crime that has haunted them all. Through planning, you can help preserve the legacy of great music, and balanced news and leave a lasting legacy to your community. WFIU would be most honored to be part of your future plans. If you need help in any way, email plannedgiving@ indianapublicmedia.org, visit WFIU.org/ support and consult with your attorney or financial advisor.
A Gift Anyone Can Afford? Did you realize there are ways to support WFIU that do not affect your lifestyle or jeopardize your family’s security? Consider including WFIU in your will. Simply provide your attorney with the following: “I give, devise, and bequeath [the sum of/a percentage of/or the residue of my estate] to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit Indiana corporation with principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, for the benefit and unrestricted support of WFIU, Indiana University, Bloomington campus.”

Congratulations to This Year’s NPR Student Podcast Challenge Winners! This year, NPR’s Education Team challenged teachers and students around the country to turn their classrooms into production studios, their assignments into scripts, and their ideas into sound. The first-ever NPR Student Podcast Challenge exceeded all expectations: All told, about 25,000 students around the country participated, from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. NPR received almost 6,000 entries from teachers. Students talked about global issues like climate change, immigration, guns and mass shootings, racism, inequality, and hunger. They also talked about issues uniquely important to kids and teens: social media, bullying, video game addiction, vaping, school lunches, and recess. They told NPR about sports and dating and their hopes and dreams for the future. But two submissions stood out to NPR’s panel of judges— including Planet Money’s Sarah Gonzalez, Code Switch’s Shereen Marisol Meraji and It’s Been a Minute host Sam Sanders—and member stations across the country. The winners Shh! Periods and Murderous Mary and the Rise of Erwin were showcased

last month on Morning Edition and All Things Considered, respectively. Bronx Prep Middle School teacher Shehtaz Huq said Ssh! Periods “grew out of an incident in English class involving a pad, a bathroom pass, and a roomful of twenty-five students exhibiting various levels of discomfort at the prospect of periods.” A group of young women in the eighth grade turned this experience into a podcast that covered period poverty, the “pink” tax, and the culture of shame around talking about menstruation. Murderous Mary and the Rise of Erwin, from the 11th graders at Elizabethton High School in Elizabethton, Tennessee, tells the story of a nearby town famous for hanging a “rogue” circus elephant using a crane. When they submitted their entry, teachers Tim Wasem and Alex Campbell wrote the students wanted to tell a good story, “but also highlight the ways Erwin is doing good work and making the most of this strange moment in their history.” NPR will continue to feature standout student podcast submissions in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned or visit NPR.org for more information.
