A message from Alisan Sweet, Interim General Manager of Texas Tech Public Media:
What is the value of public media as a community resource? At its core, public media transcends merely tuning into a TV or radio station; it embodies a commitment to something greater – a commitment to community, education, and personal enrichment.
Public media stands as a beacon of integrity. It's a platform where all voices are amplified, where curiosity is cultivated, and where knowledge is shared freely. Public media is more than just a source of entertainment or news; it's a lifeline for communities, especially those underserved or marginalized. It can be a trusted ally in times of crisis, providing vital information and resources to those in need. It's a catalyst for social change, sparking conversations, and fostering understanding across divides.
Public media is where children discover the wonders of the world, where lifelong learners find inspiration, and where individuals of all backgrounds come together to celebrate our shared humanity. It's a reflection of who we are as a society and a vision of who we aspire to be.
As a cherished member of our community of supporters, I want to thank you for being a part of public media. Your contributions are vital to keep Texas Tech Public Media and PBS El Paso on the air and online. Like many media organizations, we are facing financial challenges of our own. We have already had to make some difficult decisions regarding our operations. Now, more than ever, your support is essential to our continued existence.
