Our signal originates in Southern California but makes waves around the world. SCPR has developed a loyal following that spans countries and continents — and grows larger every day. Fueling our growth is a focus on smart technologies and a belief that content matters: Regardless of where they find themselves, our listeners turn to KPCC for insightful analysis, productive dialogue and stimulating entertainment that respects their intelligence. From the shores of lake michigan to the South China Sea, SCPR is a borderless news source for a global age.
i love SCPR. When i was deployed in afghanistan, i streamed KPCC on my computer or phone whenever i got a chance. it kept me up on what was happening in the Southland, and for a brief time took me out of the war zone. my favorite thing was the traffic reports — i liked to picture where they were, and that just took me home.

2 SCPR aNNUal REPORT 2013 3
When Southern California Public Radio set sail at the beginning of this millennium, KPCC’s
audience numbered roughly 220,000 people — and all of them lived in Southern California.Today,
our three broadcast stations combine with our online and digital channels reach more than 1 million
people each week. They come to us for news about Los Angeles, for insight into Los Angeles, and to
engage with the people of Los Angeles — it is truly a global audience.
The past year, we’ve heard from a soldier stationed in Afghanistan who enjoys listening to the
traffic reports on KPCC because they remind him of home. We’ve heard from a student in Taiwan
who streamed KPCC on her computer as she prepared her applications to MBA programs in the
United States. We’ve heard from expatriate Angelenos from across the country and around the globe
who stay connected to what’s happening here via Southern California Public Radio’s mobile digital
applications. And we’ve heard from people throughout the world who come to us on those same
applications in order to learn about what is really happening here.
All of these listeners have different ethnic and cultural backgrounds; they come from different
socio-economic classes; they have different faiths and religious traditions; and they have divergent
political viewpoints. But all of them come to us for the same reason:
They want to hear the authentic voices of Los Angeles, and they want to understand what is really
happening in the world’s creative capitol.
And, when you boil everything Southern California Public Radio does down to its essence, we are
the broadcast, digital and live event platform for the authentic voices of LA. The voice of the first-
generation immigrant student who lives in East LA; the voice of her second-generation immigrant
teacher who lives in Alhambra; the voice of the filmmaker with multiple Oscars who lives in the
Palisades; the voice of the cop who lives in Burbank; the voice of the entrepreneur who lives in
Whittier; the voice of the philanthropist who lives in Newport Beach; the voice of the homeless
veteran who lives on Skid Row.
And there are the authentic voices you (and so many others) trust to help you understand what’s
really happening in LA: Larry Mantle, Alex Cohen, A Martínez, John Rabe, Deepa Fernandes,
Adolfo Guzman-Lopez, Nick Roman, Shirley Jahad, Frank Stoltze, Erika Aguilar, Brian Watt, Steve
Julian and so many more.
As Southern California Public Radio grows and evolves, we will embrace new technologies that
help us better serve our audiences here in greater Los Angeles and around the globe. But three things
will not change: our commitment to providing the highest quality journalism; our commitment to
engaging Angelenos across the multiple fault lines of ethnicity, gender, politics, religion, etc.; and our
commitment to do everything we do in a way that is warm, welcoming and genuine.
Sincerely,
frienDsin 2013, SCPR won six prestigious Editor & Publisher EPPY awards, including one for having the best news website with under one million unique monthly visitors; 26 awards from the los angeles Press Club, including recognition for use of social media; and six regional Edward R. murrow awards from the Television Digital News association, including top honors for use of online sound and video.
Jarl Mohn Bill DavisChair President
The digital revolution has brought pro-
found shifts to the world of broadcast radio
and, with them, far-reaching opportunities.
With an eye on innovation and a focus on
evolving to meet audience needs, South-
ern California Public Radio has embraced
new technologies to expand the universe
of audience experiences. In the process,
Founding President and CEO Bill Davis has
done something remarkable: reinvent public
broadcasting by focusing on the very thing
that first made public radio a success.
Rather than abandoning KPCC’s core
values in favor of edgy digital content, SCPR
has emphasized public radio’s inclusive and
intimate approach. “Our goal is to create a
user experience on our website, on our mo-
bile digital apps and at our live events that is
consistent with the listener experience we’ve
created on the radio,” Davis says. “KPCC is
not trying to be elitist or exclusive; we strive
to be warm, personable, intelligent and
inviting — a place where people can come
together and be treated respectfully.”
The result is a media company that cel-
ebrates its roots and simultaneously nurtures
them to cultivate new and diverse audiences.
Increasingly, these audiences are tuning in
via SCPR’s iPad and smartphone apps, access-
ing the station’s robust reporting — at their
convenience — from Torrance to Tokyo. “A
year ago, our digital audience was smaller
than our broadcast audience. Today, that ratio
has flipped,” says SCPR Vice President of
Content Russ Stanton. “If you want to remain
relevant, you need to adapt to the way people
consume news and information.”
Developing digital methods of engagement
is widely accepted as critical to an organiza-
tion’s survival. What distinguishes SCPR, says
Executive Editor Melanie Sill, is the organiza-
tion’s commitment to understanding the digital
medium. “Media websites have generally been
developed to package existing content and
put it across on a new platform,” she says.
“Our digital team is different — it’s very much
oriented toward identifying, and responding
to, the kinds of experiences people are looking
for.” The key, Sill maintains, is knowing your
audience. “We look at how people are using
their devices, where they are spending time on
our website and what features would be most
helpful to them,” she says.
No matter where — or how — listeners
access SCPR, what they find is an organization
that, across platforms, is reinforcing the same
idea: “Anyone can come here and be welcomed
and entertained and feel like they can con-
tribute to the conversation,” says President
and CEO Davis. “And if we do that right, it’s
an amazing thing that brings people together
in ways they never thought possible.”

6 SCPR aNNUal REPORT 2013 7
In an era of shrinking newsroom budgets and
media consolidation, Southern California
Public Radio is taking a different tack. Its com-
mitment to expansive, in-depth reporting posi-
tions SCPR as a national leader in high-impact
public service journalism.
One striking example is the station’s ongo-
ing investment in the area of education: SCPR
has steadily built one of the country’s foremost
teams of education reporters. The difference,
says Education Editor Evelyn Larrubia, is un-
mistakable. “Education news is often the pur-
view of people who report on multiple subjects
and who occasionally jump in when something
big happens,” she notes. “At KPCC, we take a
more systematic approach: finding out what’s
happening inside classrooms — day in, day out
— across Southern California. It’s something
listeners are not going to hear on other public
radio stations.”
This distinctive coverage is what attracted
reporter Annie Gilbertson, who covers the Los
Angeles Unified School District. “The size and
skill of our education team is impressive,” she
says. According to Gilbertson, SCPR stands
apart in another critical way, as well. “To the
extent that they cover LA Unified, many of our
competitors concentrate on the politics,” she
says. “What gets lost is how that government
body is affecting the lives of actual students,
which is the foundation we lay in every one of
our pieces.”
For Adolfo Guzman-Lopez, who covers
statewide education and school districts out-
side of Los Angeles, assessing impact is a core
responsibility of credible education reporting.
“At KPCC, we give a lot of thought to story
selection and coverage,” he says. “We really
want to take listeners to places they wouldn’t
normally go and to inform them about signifi-
cant changes that affect their lives.”
That mandate can seem daunting, observes
Early Childhood Development Correspondent
Deepa Fernandes, but the rewards make the
work worthwhile. “We use our reporting as a
springboard to start conversations in the com-
munity,” she says. The stories people hear, she
asserts, engage them in shared problem solving
and give them a common language — no mat-
ter their individual backgrounds. “On my way
home from work recently, I stopped by a taco
truck in Highland Park to get some food, and
there was a group of guys standing around
speaking Spanish,” she recalls. “One of them
saw my microphone and shouted out, “Oh my
God, I love KPCC!”
a place for eDucation
“ at Kpcc, we want to inform listeners about significant changes that affect their lives.”
helpinG schools face the musiclast October, arts education reporter mary Plummer made a startling discovery: While students throughout the los angeles Unified School District were forced to share musical instruments — sanitizing them with plastic lighters and paper towels between each use — thousands of broken instruments were sitting on shelves in the district’s music repair shop. Plummer’s reporting on the subject generated enormous listener response and motivated district officials to take decisive action: hiring an outside contractor to help with the backlog and doubling the shop’s repair staff. “after we ran the story, we were overwhelmed with emails and phone calls,” she says. “it was really gratifying to know we had touched so many people’s lives.”
8 SCPR aNNUal REPORT 2013 9
Public Engagement Editor Ashley Al-
varado knows first hand that audiences
crave quality reporting. Working with
Southern California Public Radio’s
Public Insight Network — a group of
more than 12,000 people who help
the newsroom cover Southern Cali-
fornia by sharing their insights and
experiences — she consistently hears
a similar message. “My sources believe a news
organization shouldn’t just tell a story; it should
tell it authentically,” she says.
Authenticity is Alvarado’s stock in trade. “My
job is network building — developing relation-
ships with sources who are willing to share
different aspects of their lives.” The result is a
strong public partnership that amplifies people’s
voices and reflects the extraordinary diversity of
Los Angeles.
Alvarado also works closely with SCPR’s live
events team, producing events at the Crawford
Family Forum that bring Angelenos together to
start conversations and exchange ideas. These
encounters, she says, can be powerful. A recent
story on adoption is one example. “Information
for our on-air segment came from sources in the
field, who offered details about their own adop-
tion experiences,” Alvarado says. Overwhelmed
with responses, the station also hosted a live
forum event. “It was completely different from
anything I had ever experienced,” she recalls.
“People were so supportive of each other. It illus-
trated how KPCC’s programs can help lift people
up and make a difference.”
Finding innovative ways to
organize information is a vital
part of every journalist’s job —
and the driving force behind the
work of Southern California
Public Radio’s Chris Keller.
As a data journalist and news
applications developer, Keller
mines information to find com-
pelling story ideas. “In the newspaper world, this
used to be known as ‘computer-assisted report-
ing,’” Keller says. “In the simplest terms, it meant
taking a spreadsheet and asking it questions.” To-
day, the role of the data journalist has evolved. “I
help reporters find data and make sense of it, and
then build interactive web components that display
the data in a visual way to complement what they
are working on,” Keller says.
The effect of his work can be profound. “Put-
ting numbers in a table strips away some of the
barriers between the user and the information,”
he says, potentially attracting new audiences who
might shy away from the more traditional narra-
tive form. Visually arresting stories like Keller’s
interactive Fire Tracker (which was picked up by
The New York Times, the Daily Mail [U.K.], The
Atlantic, National Public Radio and the San Jose
Mercury News, among others) can empower those
audiences to plug in — giving them ready access to
data that keeps them informed and motivates their
participation in public debate. “Data journalists
ask ourselves three main questions: Who are our
users, what are their needs and what can we make
for them?” Keller says. “It’s a simple formula that
gets right to the heart of things.”

For more than 50 years, the W.M. Keck Foun-
dation has played a critical role in strengthening
our society. The foundation — led by Robert A.
Day, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors, and one of the nation’s
largest philanthropies, with over $1.2 billion
in assets — has deep roots in Los Angeles:
Established here in 1954, the organization
dedicates roughly 20 percent of its grantmaking
to addressing complex challenges and improving
people’s lives in Southern California.
Its dedication to the region has made the
Keck Foundation a central partner in South-
ern California Public Radio’s ongoing success.
Foundation support was instrumental in allow-
ing the station to build its new, state-of-the-art
headquarters in Pasadena. More recently, the
foundation made a significant investment in
SCPR’s digital infrastructure — helping to link
listeners across multiple media, including a gor-
geous new iPad app that is unique in the world
of public radio.
Jim Ukropina, president of the Keck Foun-
dation, notes that SCPR consistently raises the
bar on grantee performance. “Commercial
radio gives a Reader’s Digest version of the
news,” he says, “but KPCC offers something
different: insightful, penetrating, balanced
coverage that fosters dialogue between people
from diverse communities.” As Ukropina
sees it, the station’s singular identity is made
possible by the voices behind it. “Leader-
ship is incredibly important, and Bill Davis,
Russ Stanton and Melanie Sill are real heavy-
weights,” he says. “Finding innovation and
creativity in institutions is remarkably difficult,
but KPCC possesses it in spades.”
A KPCC listener “since forever,” Ukropina
is delighted the station continues to thrive,
and that the Keck Foundation has been a key
collaborator in its development. “We em-
phasize high-risk, high-return projects in our
grantmaking,” he says, “and, time and again,
KPCC delivers.”
w.m. KecK founDation: support that Keeps us connecteD
leaDinG anD learninGAfter nine years on Southern Califor-
nia Public Radio’s Board of Trustees,
Adelaide Hixon is as enthusiastic
about the station as she was on the
day she began. Her inexhaustible
energy and passion are all the more
remarkable considering the full
extent of her philanthropic leadership
at SCPR, which dates back to the
station’s very beginning. “When I first became
involved, KPCC was tiny,” Hixon remembers.
“Our offices were like a rabbit warren — only
Larry Mantle had a window!”
During her tenure, SCPR has grown from a
small, community college station to one of the
nation’s leading and most listened to public
radio stations. The transformation, Hixon says,
is the result of visionary leadership, sound stra-
tegic planning and dedicated listener support.
From board members to reporters to donors,
she observes, “KPCC brings everyone together
to learn about each other and to teach us what
democracy needs to work.”
In Hixon’s view, it helps that SCPR has
stayed true to its originating principle: produc-
ing quality content that is focused, creative
and professional. “To dream about building an
organization like KPCC is one thing; to see that
dream actually take shape is quite another,”
she says admiringly. She is proud of the sta-
tion’s smart, provocative programming, which
she believes will propel SCPR to even greater
heights. “Every year, we add listeners,” she
says. “KPCC has a lot to say — and people are
paying attention!”
Asked what compelled him
to join Southern Califor-
nia Public Radio’s Board
of Trustees, prominent Los
Angeles businessman Charlie
Woo, CEO of Megatoys, says,
“It’s really simple: I love the
programming.” Woo, a Hong
Kong native who moved to
the U.S. to attend college at UCLA, credits KPCC
with rounding out his education. “I’m a curious
person, and I want to learn wherever I go,” he
says. “Through KPCC, I continue to discover
new things about LA’s incredible diversity. It’s
the kind of balanced, in-depth knowledge about
local and global affairs I can’t get through more
traditional media outlets.”
Woo sees his adopted city’s diversity as an
invaluable asset — one that comes with an
important price. “Democracy only works if we
reach beyond our own circles to learn about
other people and cultures,” he says. “KPCC
enables Angelenos to engage each other and helps
communities to break out of their silos.”
The station, Woo asserts, serves another critical
function as well: providing quality programming
that is increasingly difficult to find anywhere else.
“KPCC is informative and inclusive, but it is also
entertaining,” he says. “The shows introduce you
to topics that are timely, provocative and even
fun.” For Woo, participating on the board is a
unique opportunity to give back to an organiza-
tion that offers him such a vital window on the
world. “When KPCC came calling,” he says, “I
just couldn’t turn it down.”

Throughout a professional lifetime of shaping
healthcare legislation in California, Dolores
Grunigen — an influential figure within the
State Board of Medical Examiners — had
searched for a media outlet that would give
her accurate, insightful news and analysis
about the people, places and public policies af-
fecting our daily lives. She found it in Southern
California Public Radio.
“The presentation grabbed me immedi-
ately — the honesty and the willingness to air
all sides of an issue,” Grunigen recalls. “The
standard of quality in KPCC’s reporting was
extremely high, and I could tune in every day
without getting bored.” Her affinity for the
station soon led her to invest more than just
listening; Grunigen also wanted to find a way
to support the unique content she heard on air.
Philanthropy has always played an im-
portant role in Grunigen’s life. “I believe it’s
critically important to teach our children
that giving is part of who we are,” she says.
That philosophy led her to make a significant
contribution to SCPR’s capital campaign
— and then, later, another gift to fund the
station’s health care desk. Grunigen also will
help provide for the future of SCPR with a
gift through her estate. “When it comes to
building for the future, KPCC is ahead of
the curve, and that is what motivated me to
become so involved,” she says. Of particular
note, Grunigen observes, is the station’s com-
mitment to hiring extraordinary reporters.
“I’m always impressed by whom they select
to cover the news,” she says. “And I don’t
impress easily!”
Equally impressive, notes Grunigen, is
SCPR’s breadth of coverage and its abil-
ity to shed light on the most pressing civic
challenges. “The issues we need to know
about today are vast. KPCC breaks them
down into understandable chunks, helping
people get a handle on what’s at stake and
what we can do about it,” she says. From
Grunigen’s perspective, it’s a valuable public
service that translates to far-reaching impact:
“By exposing people to the idea-shaping and
decision-making that undergirds every aspect
of our society, KPCC makes them partners in
promoting positive change.”

“ when it comes to building for the future,” Dolores Grunigen says, “Kpcc is ahead of the curve.”
no rant. no slant.as an investor in Southern California Public Radio, Dolores Grunigen values the station’s emphasis on ideological balance. as the host of KPCC’s AirTalk — the longest continuously running daily talk program in the los angeles radio market — larry mantle is a guardian of that balance, helping to create and maintain a public space characterized by civility, open-mindedness and mutual respect. Together, they are a testament to the power of ef-fective collaboration in pursuit of a common goal: leveraging resources and talents to build a public broadcaster unlike any other.

I deeply love SCPR and cannot express how much I respect the work you all do. I think you are one of the most important defenses of what remains of our democracy.” –JaY ROSENThal, lEGaCY SOCiETY mEmBER, PALM SPRINgS
As an avid listener to KPCC in LA, I think I was even more connected while on a recent trip to Italy. Stream-ing KPCC on my cell phone was amazing: With the time difference, I was even able to enjoy programs I don’t normally listen to at home. KPCC the world over!”–JUDY RaFFEl, lEGaCY SOCiETY mEmBER, SANTA MONICA
KPCC kept me company on the long drives in Los Angeles. Since I have moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, I continue to listen on my iPhone. The programming KPCC offers is truly priceless!” –SaRah hOlmES, mEmBER, SANTA FE
