A movement against racism in public radio

EP DELEGATES IN ACTION: Read this recent interview featuring delegate Lewis W. Lewis speaks about his ongoing efforts to challenge structures of racism in media and problematic notions of journalistic “objectivity” that only reinforce the status quo. Lewis “believes that public media requires radical structural change. ‘That means not just fire the person at the top and replace that person, but in some cases take over the radio station from the licensee that is upholding a white-dominant structure within that radio station… It’s a vision of community ownership and community empowerment that might really require significant shifts in power.’”
