I'm at the PRDMC in San Diego at the CPB awards luncheon... Ira Glass is receiving the annual Edward R. Murrow Award. Ira is best known for his program This American Life, distributed by PRI.
Some quotes:
"...radio is in a particularly good position in media these days, because of its intimacy"
"as other journalism becomes more endangered, the fact that we have healthy audiences and abusiness model that still works... it makes it that much more important what we are doing."
"Its time to be more ambitious... we need to stay bold... we need great new shows... our mission is innovation..."
"There needs to be a place in this country where the people are doing broadcasting not for the money, but because there are things that need to be said..."
