Free Speech Radio News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free Speech Radio News (FSRN) is a radio program that produces a half hour newscast each weekday. The newscast is produced at Pacifica network stations KPFA in Berkeley and KPFK in Los Angeles, a station in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the press room on Capitol Hill.
Hosted by Aura Bogado, the newscast relies on over two hundred freelance reporters, "on every continent except Antarctica", that use the Internet to deliver their audio reports.[1]
FSRN also provides top-of-the-hour news segments for Air America Radio.
[edit] FSRN strike
In January 2000, reporters working at the Pacifica Network engaged in a strike, citing censorship by Pacifica's newly elected board of directors. The strike lasted twenty-six months until March 2002. "At its March board meeting, the Pacifica board unanimously passed a resolution it negotiated with the strikers acknowledging the significant role they played in returning Pacifica to its historic mission, and pledging to end censorship of any programming throughout the network."[2]
