Prometheus Radio Project - Mission

Mission

From their website, Prometheusradio.org:

Prometheus Radio Project maintains that a free, diverse, and democratic media is critical to the political and cultural health of our nation; yet there exists unprecedented levels of media consolidation and lack of content diversity across the media landscape. The organization works toward a future characterized by ready access to media outlets and a broad selection of cultural and information media resources. In addition to its policy-focused media reform work, the primary mission of Prometheus is to help expand the community of LPFM stations and listeners. The vision inherent in this mission is that this community will grow into a powerful force working toward a future of more democratic media, free from the control of Corporate media. Toward this end, the organization supports community groups at every stage of the process of building community radio stations, facilitating public participation in the Federal Communications Commission regulatory process, and sponsoring events that promote awareness and support of media democracy and LPFM radio.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.
    Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)

    Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.
    Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)

    We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.
    Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
