Hey Jody — great media list. I would also suggest DOCUMENTED, which will become even more necessary after January 20th… Also, a thought about WNYC in particular but this really applies across the board: these orgs that ask for audience donations need to be more transparent. At WNYC (which I also support), for example, what’s up with all the recent layoffs? Is the place in financial trouble? Is somebody’s
$25 or $250 or $2500 going to news coverage or to severance packages? When folks like Matt Katz and Nancy Solomon and Alana Casanova-Burgess are gone (or reduced), what newsroom am I donating to? It makes me angry to hear the fund drives without hearing about what’s going on.

I saw Nick Lowe play at housing works in 2007.
