The Public in Public Radio

Collective pronouns are tricky. Usually you will hear talk about "the public radio community" when someone wants to put their hand in your pocket. And we do sometimes--North Country Public Radio is part of the "gift economy." But sometimes what we want is more complicated. Two examples are below. We want you to write and talk about things that are important to you, and then let us edit it, then play it for all your neighbors to hear. And we want teenagers to give up a chunk of Saturday to tell us things that should be obvious to anyone with a brain. In short, we want "you" to be part of "us." Asking for money would probably have been easier.
