Silly policy

WUNC's failure to provide a simple list of organizations and entities it promotes through contributions/sponsorships is nothing short of silly. Those of us who listen to the station should have this point of reference for the tiny amount of local content WUNC actually broadcasts.

Today, for example, there was a mention, I think, of something to do with sustainable tourism in Nort Carolina. If there were a list of everyone mentioned today in those sponsorship plugs, anyone who wanted to check - as I do - on exactly what that was could do so. Not to provide that is to undermine a key value of the entire WUNC operation.

About Us — North Carolina Public Radio WUNC

One really has to wonder about an organizaiton that claims to be in the news business and one that arguably ought to be fairly transparent as part of the government of North Carolina when it fails to include this press release anywhere on its website. There are lots of possible explanations for this, and it would be very nice for WUNC to tell us which one is correct.

Who has ridden on at least one of the new buses and would like to post a review? Thanks.

As a North Carolina citizen, I'd like to know who gave all this money. We own the station after all.
