	Current.org \| Pacifica resolves bylaws war
		Pacifica Radio is emerging from bitter years of factional struggle with new bylaws that may make it the world’s most democratic media organization.
		About 90,000 of Pacifica’s listeners and 700 of its volunteers and staffers are eligible to vote in the first election under the bylaws, estimates Carol Spooner, secretary of the network’s interim national board.
		That was when Pacifica’s previous board—intent on taking control of the stations and building their audience—made itself self-appointing, ending the longtime practice of letting station boards appoint most of the national board.

		By the '80s, the standard template for a Pacifica outlet (except in Washington, where jazz has always dominated the schedule) was a collection of left-wing political interest groups, music lovers from outside the pop mainstream and foreign-language constituencies, all sharing one frequency and each clinging tenaciously to its airtime.

	Pacifica Radio Archives \| History of Pacifica
		Founder Lewis Hill's mission was to create a new kind of radio, supported by listeners, owing nothing to sponsors, providing an outlet for creative expression, and a safe haven for artistic experiments with the radio medium.
		Perhaps best known as a chronicler of social justice movements and cultural change, the Pacifica stations have consistently embraced the performing and literary arts, offering sometimes the only forum for cutting edge and classical arts, and providing a stage to experiment with radio drama, spoken word, sound sculpture and the art of radio documentary.

		Pacifica is the place where commentators question the power and motives of government and Big Business alike, where none of the music is from a marketer's play list, and where a rise in unemployment is not reported as positive because it rallies the stock market.
		Community radio was invented 50 years ago by Pacifica's founder, Lew Hill, and the network has survived a variety of challenges.
		Pacifica certainly does follow a untraditional economic model: non-commercial, listener-supported, staffed and programmed principally by volunteers, and governed by boards of people from the local community.

	Alternative Press Review - Zines - Free Pacifica Radio: A War at Pacifica by Jesse Walker
		The Pacifica of Kenneth Rexroth has given way to the Pacifica of an "onrushing future" that is "dynamic in opportunities and risks," of "impacting political discourse and culture," of "multiple transformations" and "strategic planning" and "investments in our franchise." These aren't phrases; they're wordclots.
		Pacifica always seems to be undergoing one upheaval or another, and today's dissidents have had trouble convincing outsiders that the present tensions are more than just another faction war.
		When the Pacifica stations' program directors and general managers met in Albuquerque on February 27, 1995, David Giovannoni delivered a presentation on how the network might increase its ratings and increase its intake of donations.

	Welcome to CounterPunch
		Those involved with public radio are sadly familiar with the largely silent privatization of the small slice of the FM broadcast spectrum set aside for non-commercial purposes.
		Pacifica founder Lewis Hill's vision was that the people producing the broadcast had to have control over the policy governing their actions.
		Although Pacifica remained radically altered from its pre-1995 state, it appeared as though the organization were on a steadier course, with the administration demonstrating greater respect for its own rules of operation.

	Lawsuit Against Pacifica
		Pacifica has defined the change in its long-term vision statement as an attempt to make the Pacifica stations more relevant and more representative of the audiences that they should serve.
		All the talk in Pacifica's Five Year Plan about the professionalization of the air sound, the capturing of the mainstream news/ talk audience and the 'vision' concentrated therein of a Pacifica that is influential in Washington- all this reduces, in fact, to the elimination of the Pacifica tradition in programming.
		Pacifica was founded as a bastion of free speech- yet even the news staff lives under constant threat of firing if they report the events taking place within Pacifca as news.

	What's Going On at Pacifica?
		Pacifica trained a whole generation of radio producers and reporters in the kind of long-form reporting and sound-rich documentary techniques shunned by commercial radio, and its graduates include some of NPR's best-known bylines.
		Radio moments of the present are a far cry from the greatness of the past.
		Both sides could claim the pursuit of high-minded goals: Pacifica management sought to strengthen lines of authority in the name of increased audience and political effectiveness; KPFA and its defenders presented a resounding case that "free-speech radio"--Pacifica's traditional no-holds-barred programming--was threatened by a sanitized, NPR-style takeover by establishment liberals.

	Pacifica Radio \| Matthew Lasar \| KPFA \| Community Radio
		But, despite its name, Pacifica is, to those who work or volunteer there, a hotbed of internecine politics and general backstabbing, usually aimed at the others working in the same space, with, presumably, the same goals.
		Since then, Pacifica has grown and changed, become, in the fullest sense, radicalized, so much so that those of us who were there in its infancy can scarcely recognize the creature that has emerged.
		It was an attempt by the national board of Pacifica to impose their vision --- mostly a more orderly and commercial programming style --- over what had heretofore been a neo-revolutionary broadcasting matrix, airtime (and thus the station) mostly operated by a dictatorship of programmers.

		According to former radio host Ian Masters, he threatened a staffer with a shotgun; according to former program director Clare Spark, he threw another staffer into a wall. Even without the anti-Semitism, he's not the type of employee you'd want. But thanks to recent changes at KPFK-FM, his yearly special's been fully reinstated.
		Yet, when information exists that may give context to Israel's actions, or could reflect negatively on the Palestinians, it's normally absent from Pacifica's airwaves." She described how listeners who complained were seen as unsophisticated rubes and their complaints ignored, even as outright instances of anti-Semitism at the station went unchallenged.
		Their is a politics based on raw anger. Now that they're in power, the radicals at Pacifica will maintain the façade of democracy just enough to attract donations, as their newly-established committees of "inclusion" ensure everyone attached to the station thinks in lock-step with their leaders - or suffers the consequences.

	New Storm Over Pacifica
		In an unprecedented twist in the bitter struggle at the Pacifica radio network, a group of 42 prominent progressives signed a letter this week calling for a truce between management at the alternative broadcast network and workers at its flagship station in Berkeley -- but in doing so, they may have only escalated the conflict.
		While affirming the free-lancers' right to disagree with Pacifica management, Landau charges that, "They do not have a right to cloak their grievances in the language of a bona fide labor dispute," traditionally a powerful symbol among those on the left.
		As the free-lancer strike continues, the February 27 meeting of Pacifica's board in Washington promises to be acrimonious, amid charges that new nominees for the board are continuing what Pacifica critics say is a trend toward stacking Pacifica's board with non-progressive, corporate-friendly members.
