PLEDGE: The Public Radio Fund Drive – Don Merrill

Another Read Through 3932 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR, United States

Join us for a look at a new project by journalist Don Merrill: Pledge: the Public Radio Fund Drive, a deep look into the tenuous finances of public radio stations. Merrill got the idea for PLEDGE because he was annoyed by pledge drives he’d been hearing since the mid 90s, and he decided he wanted to rant about them.
