As KMUD’s Spring Membership Drive continues under the theme “Education by the People, for the People,” the station is highlighting voices that champion independent journalism. This week, KMUD News spoke with Janine Jackson, Program Director of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) and host of the syndicated radio show CounterSpin, which airs Sundays at 1 p.m. on KMUD.
Jackson discussed the importance of independent media and the growing threats to public broadcasting, including efforts to eliminate funding for public media under proposals like Project 2025.
