Beth Blanks Hindman's Attack on KQQQ
KQQQ
carried an audio report this morning about the attack that Communications
Professor
Elizabeth Blanks Hindman has launched against the radio station. According
to KQQQ, she called the advertisers on KQQQ, urging them not to
advertise there. She has called Bill's behavior "unethical" and
"unprofessional".
What apparently has gotten Hindman all steamed is that Evan Ellis Bill comments on
the news after it has been read.
As a long-term listener to KQQQ (I faithfully listen every morning for the
last 5 years), here is the format that they do the news:
- Evan Ellis gathers the news.
- Larry Wier reads the news on the air.
- Bill asks questions about the stories and comments on the news.
It is very clear where the line between reporting the news and
commenting on the news occurs. And I've personally enjoyed how they do both
well.
Listen here to the audio report.
