Dr. Jamal Assad (Listener Candidate)
Candidate Questionnaire
Candidate Statement
Vote for me, Dr. Jamal Assad. As a KPFT Board member, I would work
hard to elevate the status of 90.1 FM not only in the transmission,
but in the reception. I would work hard to make sure that KPFT increases
its membership within the diverse sectors of our community and expands
listener-sponsorship in our community and beyond by offering quality
programming that addresses the needs of KPFT programmers and listeners.
Candidate Questionnaire
-
Why do you want to be on the Local Station
Board?
To help our most important community treasure – listener-sponsored
KPFT -- maintain free speech and protect our station from freedom
from repression.
-
How do you envision the Local Station Board
working with the Pacifica Foundation, KPFT and the community?
The station board must proactively strive to reflect the uniqueness
of Greater Houston & beyond & present the views and interests
of others who might otherwise not be heard.
-
How could the station better serve it's
listeners?
By making sure that rules are enforced to ensure our station
meetings, including board meetings, are respectful, productive,
and public-friendly. I would also recommend additional listener
surveys and Town Hall meetings.
-
Describe some actions you would take to
increase the influence of the station in underrepresented communities
and to increase the diversity of the listening audience?
#1 - I would recommend that board members be proactive in meeting
with representative groups in order to find out what these communities
need from the station and what types of programming they would
like to see added.
#2 Hosting KPFT teach-ins & helping sponsor events in local
communities would make under-represented populations aware of
its presence.
-
What sources of funding, other than listener
donations, do you feel KPFT should solicit?
No strings attached grants. And, if corporate or small
business sponsors are “socially responsible,” proving to meet
the needs of the people first, rather than their own, they might
be worthy of debate.
-
Please state briefly the skills, experience,
educational background, work history, organizational affiliations,
areas of community service, areas of interest and expertise
that you would bring to the Pacifica network as a member of
the Local Station Board.
I have a combination of educational, work-related and activist
experience that includes program direction, research, and training.
I am a seasoned grassroots public policy community activist
and a geophysicist.
-
Do you anticipate missing any Local Station
Board meetings due to family or job related problems or inadequate
transportation?
No
-
On which Local Station Board committees*
are you interested in actively serving?
Program Policy Committee, Program Council Committee, Program
Evaluation Committee
-
If you are a current Local Station Board
member, on which committees do you currently serve?
Not applicable
