    As 2020 unfolded with evolving challenges and change, public media found itself navigating an unprecedented landscape. This has made it more difficult for KPFK and Pacifica to rebound.

  • How They’ve Wanted to Stop Us

    Posted by Anyel Z Fields at Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at 11:28 AM

    Oh, how they’ve wanted to stop us. Every day KPFK opens up a new controversy, a new societal pain point, a new cultural, political or community insight, and new revelations about everything that means something in your life. We can’t help it. It’s who we are and what we do. And we won’t stop.

  • We're Trying Something New

    Posted by Anyel Z Fields at Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 10:24 AM

    Community media, news, services, and journalism are all cornerstones of our democracy and are more critical than ever. Many community organizations, publications, and independent media companies will become casualties of the pandemic. Our world has changed profoundly and KPFK is adapting to it, so we can still be here for you.

    Posted by Anyel Z. Fields at Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at 12:00 AM

    The past few weeks have been eventful with the historic Impeachment trails, a rise in unsheltered Angelenos, the loss of Lila Garrett, and elections season is ramping up with the Iowa caucuses that KPFK and Pacifica covered.

  • Listener Appreciation

    Posted by Anyel Z. Fields at Friday, May 31, 2019 at 12:00 AM

    I want to extend my gratitude and appreciation to all who have helped and supported KPFK and the Pacifica Foundation during our fund drive. A special thanks to those that have been there for KPFK including its listeners through thick and thin. It was a tough decision to preempt our regular programming in May so that we could meet our goal to fund KPFK's operations.
