From the shores of lake michigan to the South China Sea, SCPR is a borderless news source for a global age.

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.”


“ through technology, scpr is expanding the universe of audience experiences.”

news that Goes where you Do


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.”


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
