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:

    “I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

    “... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
