A great example of collaborative, cumulative journalism —
From radio-info.com this morning: Senators Claire McCaskill and Kit Bond of Missouri have now joined House reps John Shimkus and Lacy Clay in examining the shady dealings surrounding the sale of St. Louis’s only classical station to religious broadcasters — this from an article in stltoday.com, written by Sarah Bryan Miller. Miller quotes author Stefene Russell in St. Louis Magazine:
… a twiddle of your radio dial will reveal that “Christian contemporary” is anything but an endangered species. St. Louis has one of the finest (symphony orchestras) in the country, and a long-running relationship with the station that goes far and beyond the weekend live broadcasts. And as Rep. Shimkus and Clay noted in their remarks from the floor (again, reported by Miller, who has done a gangbusters job of covering this story), St. Louis’ cultural community would suffer deeply if the city lost its only classical music station. …
Thanks to all of our journalism colleagues for shining the light on a deal that seems to reek more and more.
