One of the most rewarding aspects of working in public radio is that we know our listeners care about and are highly engaged in their community.
Public radio listeners have high levels of participation in all forms of public discourse, from contacting the media to attending public meetings. Listeners are vocal advocates for causes they support, and have strong community ties that give them disproportionate influence in their social and political networks.
That is why through our work we seek to illuminate, investigate, challenge and celebrate what it means to be a St. Louisan, and through these efforts connect you to stories and events from places nearby and far away.
Our efforts should:
- Help individuals live a more thoughtful and fulfilling life and be better prepared to make decisions and take action;
- Help our region appreciate its culture, recognize its strengths, understand its challenges, and embrace its opportunities;
- Help our democracy by ensuring that everyone has access to information they need to understand the events and ideas that shape our world.
This work is made possible through individuals, businesses, and institutions who support us. Thanks.
