The Public Press on Marin community radio

Bit by bit, the Public Press project is getting noticed. I just got off the air from an hourlong interview with Jonathan Rowe, host of the talk show "America Offline" on KWMR, the community radio station in West Marin County.  Rowe, a former reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, has a keen understanding of the problems facing the newspaper industry in the Bay Area and beyond, and was particularly interested in discussing alternative business models and noncommercial precedents for newspapers. We talked about the Guardian in the U.K. and the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, each of which has a slightly different twist on nonprofit ownership.
