	OrangePolitics.org : Censorship at WUNC
		As it is, WUNC is saying that they don’t care to stand up against the possibility of FCC sanctions - and on a fundamental rhetorical issue for Progressives (George Lakoff would be spinning in his grave if he were dead).
		WUNC takes its obligation to comply with federal law concerning donor acknowledgements very seriously and attempts to err on the side of caution in the event questions are raised concerning a particular announcement.
		Assuming WUNC had the guts to accept their support (which I doubt at this point), would they be able to say they are working for “gay rights?” While the issue might be controversial, the statement is one of fact, not subjective opinion.

	NCCU radio station airs rejected abortion reference - www.ezboard.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ipas ended its underwriting relationship with WUNC in November after a dispute with the station over whether the group could continue to promote itself as protecting reproductive "rights" in its underwriting announcements.
		WUNC said it was concerned that use of the word "rights" might violate Federal Communications Commission standards for donor statements because it seemed to be advocating a political agenda.
		The group "would be happy" to resume its support for WUNC if the station agrees to loosen its stance, but no compromise is on the table, she said.

		WUNC’s general manager said the station made the change to avoid trouble with the Federal Communications Commission.

	Right-Wing Chilling Effect Makes 'Reproductive Rights' Too Hot for Public Radio
		A statement released Thursday by 22 national feminist, health and population organizations decrying WUNCs refusal to run an underwriting statement that identified the sponsor, Ipas, as a non-profit group that protects womens reproductive rights, charged that the decision threatens the very concept of free speech.
		WUNC general manager Joan Siefert Rose defended the decision, describing it as a precautionary measure designed to protect the station from possible action by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
		We feel that the extraordinary caution exhibited by this decision is undue and serves to perpetuate self-censorship, which is all to prevalent in the current political climate, the letter stated.

		In the meeting with the station's general manager, Joan Siefert Rose, she made it clear that the decision to not permit the phrase "reproductive rights" on the air was her decision and is not a specific prohibition within the FCC guidelines.
		The announcements in question have aired on WUNC since mid-February, and the text was unchallenged until October.
		Ipas is not asking WUNC to broadcast any opinion, rather an accurate description of the organization.

		During several weeks of discussion with WUNC – including a face-to-face meeting with the station’s senior management – Ipas senior executives tried to persuade WUNC to change its position, but to date such efforts have been unsuccessful.
		On Wednesday, Ipas sent WUNC, members of its Community Advisory Board and university officials a letter signed by nearly 100 community members requesting that the station reconsider its position on the phrase “reproductive rights;” more people added their names on Thursday.
		Maguire continued, “But also at issue is the right of all WUNC underwriters to portray themselves and their work accurately.

		If WUNC wasn't the most colorless station in America, it certainly was a contender for the title.
		Coupled with the $55,000 it collected during a low-pitch appeal last summer, it was the first time the station had raised more than $100,000 from listeners during a 12-month period.
		WUNC's spring fund-raiser wasn't only a way to raise cash but also something of a referendum on Siefert Rose's decision to overhaul the programming.

		WUNC has been adding news and information since the early '90s; in 1995, two hours of music were lost when NPR's "All Things Considered" changed times and "Talk of the Nation" was added.
		WUNC, which is owned by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, isn't abandoning music altogether.
		For the last decade or so, WUNC has been a powerhouse among NPR stations, landing in the top five in total individual and corporate support and ranking at the top nationally in audience share, or the percentage of radio listeners who are tuned in to a particular station.

		For the time being, WUNC continues to air a revised version of Ipas’ underwriting announcement, and Ipas is weighing whether to remain a sponsor.
		WUNC says it could be interpreted to be advocating a particular political viewpoint, and the Federal Communications Commission prohibits public radio stations such as WUNC from airing sponsorship announcements that advocate political positions.
		WUNC told Ipas it could continue to broadcast the announcement only if the wording were changed to a “value-neutral” term.

		WUNC radio employs less than thirty people total, so they do not have the ability to play the roles of aggressive reporters, rather they must be more passive and relay stories that have already been found and given to them.

		Instead, it immediately replaced her with NPR newsman Frank Stasio, who will himself be replaced at the end of next week by former WUNC staffer Melinda Penkava.
		She declined to talk on the record about being let go, noting only that she believes the station "wanted more in-house control over the programming." Her replacement was Hartnett.
