Governors: Stop Slashing Public Media Funding
Around the country, states are slashing budgets for local NPR and PBS stations. Live in New Jersey? Your public media stations have lost $5,900,000 in state funding. South Carolina? Over $12 million. In Florida, $7,800,000 has been cut. The list goes on and on.
We’re targeting the nine states that have been hit with the most extreme cuts — Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia — and asking people to tell their governors to stop slashing this funding.
Do you live in one of these states? Please tell your governor that we need to increase funding to public media in the next state budget.
