Is There a Future for Pacifica?

The article focuses on Pacifica crisis in the U.S. Since 1999, there has been a vitriolic battle over programming and personnel between the Board of Pacifica radio and two of the network's stations in particular, first KPFA in Berkeley and then WBAI in New York. The Pacifica network is the largest progressive media outlet in the country and the future of listener-supported, community-based radio has been at stake. The challenge to Pacifica comes not only from its own vicious internal divisions and from a broader media environment, it comes also from those on the left who are out of earshot, sick of the infighting and wondering whether Pacifica is relevant anymore.
