As you may have heard, last week was a tough one for KQED, NPR, and public media across the country.
Last Tuesday, KQED announced that it is cutting 15% of its staff in response to a budget shortfall and financial uncertainty. While our team was not laid off, we are losing many beloved colleagues.
Then, just a few days later, Congress voted to take back $1.1 billion in funding for public media. These were funds that public media stations across the country had already been promised.
It’s a huge setback for us. But we want to reassure you: We’re still here. And we will keep fighting for the mission that public media represents, and reaffirm our commitment to serving you. So if you’re reading this: Thank you for your support.
