How To Lose Pacifica, and How To Save It (tags)
As a member of KPFK's Local Station Board, I've been asked repeatedly to explain what's happening at the community radio station. This is my letter to the Pacifica National Board, KPFK's parent organization.

What we never got were official explanations. The Pacifica National Board can be reached at pnb@pacifica.org.
