Jake Dobkin shared thisHi Friends! We're hiring for a few positions on my team in NYC this month: an Ad Operations Manager, and two Sales Assistants. We're supporting some of the great mission-driven public media brands in the US: WNYC, WQXR, Gothamist, Radiolab, On The Media, the New Yorker Radio Hour, Science Friday, and others. The work makes a difference, and it's a great group of people. https://lnkd.in/g9meT585 ; pass it on!

Public media remains one of the few places where trust, attention, and impact truly align and I’m excited to help brands show up in that environment in thoughtful, effective ways. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to reconnecting in the new year. #NYPR #PublicMedia #PodcastAdvertising #HappyHolidays

Jake Dobkin shared thisA lot of the US public media stations are in a tough spot because of recent federal decisions; with the help of some generous donors, New York Public Radio is going to help them out by discounting our shows.

Jake Dobkin shared thisA tough week for all of us in public media- please take a minute to support your local station if you haven't already!Jake Dobkin shared thisLast night, Congress approved a measure to claw back $1.1 billion in federal funding for the American public broadcasting system. This was a decision that stands in opposition to the prevailing sentiment of the majority of Americans: a survey from The Harris Poll just this week found that two-thirds of Americans (including 58% of Republicans and 77% of Democrats) support federal funding for public radio. This morning LaFontaine E. Oliver, New York Public Radio President and CEO and Executive Chair, shared a note with our community about the devastating impact of these cuts and where we go next. “[This is] funding that goes directly to sharing life-saving information and life-affirming stories. Funding that holds our government accountable; brings people together in good-faith conversation; and lifts up classical music and the arts. In plain speech, this is the worst possible outcome of a months-long series of attacks, effectively ending federal funding for public media, which has enjoyed bipartisan support since 1967—and still does. As challenging as all of this is to take in, I want to state emphatically: this will not be the end of public media, or New York Public Radio.” To read more and donate, click here: https://lnkd.in/e7b3B5DRA Letter from NYPR's President & CEO and Executive Chair LaFontaine Oliver - New York Public RadioA Letter from NYPR's President & CEO and Executive Chair LaFontaine Oliver - New York Public Radio

Jake Dobkin shared thisLocal journalism is a key pillar of our democracy: please support us!Jake Dobkin shared thisPublic media has never been more vulnerable. It’s also never been more valuable or more urgently needed. This is a precarious time for public media. The White House has issued an Executive Order aiming to eliminate all federal funding to NPR and PBS, and their proposed budget calls for the complete defunding of public media. While we’ve never faced a moment as challenging as this one, we’ve seen tough times before. And we’ll do whatever it takes to stand strong, and continue to provide essential public services to our community. Please stand with us by making a gift during our spring pledge drive. https://pledge.wnyc.org/

Jake Dobkin shared thisSo proud for our newsroom!Jake Dobkin shared thisNEW! The WNYC/Gothamist newsroom has been named a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in the Audio Reporting category “for their revelatory investigation into decades of sexual assault of female inmates on Rikers Island.” The “NYC Now” podcast series dove into hundreds of lawsuits filed against NYS sexual abusers, and found that the vast majority of those lawsuits focused on a single location: Rikers Island. The reporting uncovered abuse ignored by authorities for generations. The investigation took a shocking turn when WNYC/Gothamist determined there was a single person accused of assault by at least 24 women: a longtime guard who went by the name “Champagne” and was still employed at the time the series came out. Due to this reporting, investigations began at the prison, leading to reforms and the removal of officers from the women’s facility. Congratulations to the entire team who worked on this impactful and important work, as well as to the women who bravely entrusted their stories to us. https://lnkd.in/e25c6MdqHere are the winners of the 2025 Pulitzer Prizes - PoynterHere are the winners of the 2025 Pulitzer Prizes - Poynter

I know you're focused on in-ear discovery but I always enjoyed the maps functions in 4SQ/Swarm; and I still use hotlist maps from Eater/Infatuation/etc when I'm visiting a new city or just want to know what's going on in NYC. So whatever that overview level equivalent is, would be fun to have- like what does BeeBot think the top 20 restaurants/events/facts are for NYC today, and how can I see them all at once?

Jake Dobkin liked thisIt's official! New England Public Media finalized its merger with GBH to create a statewide network of stations, all committed to protecting and strengthening local journalism, music, and community connection. Thanks to Susan Goldberg and my colleagues across the state, I'm more optimistic than ever about the future of public media here in Massachusetts.Jake Dobkin liked thisAn exciting new chapter has begun as we have officially merged with New England Public Media (NEPM)! Together with CAI on the Cape and Islands, we are building a powerhouse public media network that is both hyper local and spans the entire Commonwealth. And we have already hit the ground running with some incredible collaborations: IN COMMON: On Independence Day, we launched our new weekly statewide radio news magazine, In Common: News from the Berkshires to the Bay, hosted by Jeremy Siegel. It airs simultaneously across GBH News, NEPM, and CAI, bringing you stories that reflect life in every corner of Massachusetts. STATEWIDE POLITICAL COVERAGE: GBH News’ Adam Reilly recently represented all three of our news outlets to cover the first U.S. Senate debate between Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Seth Moulton, featuring NEPM Executive Editor Elizabeth Roman on the panel. Mark your calendars for August 3rd, when we host the second debate across all our platforms with Boston 25, The Bay State Banner, and El Planeta. BROADCASTING BSO AT TANGLEWOOD: GBH Music and CRB Classical 99.5 are partnering with Classical NEPM to broadcast the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer concerts live from Tanglewood through August 23, bringing more world-class music straight to residents across the state for free. A huge thank you to news Editor-in-Chief Dan Lothian, Matt Abramovitz and everyone at NEPM, CAI, and GBH for your creativity and drive as we find new ways to work together and serve the state. We are just getting started, and I couldn't be more excited about what we will accomplish together to keep Massachusetts connected.

Jake Dobkin liked thisJake Dobkin liked thisWe asked LAist readers to pay for something. Not to donate, not to become members. To buy a product. About two-thirds of the people who did had never given us a dollar before, and a third were existing members who paid anyway. Here's what building a paid product inside a public media newsroom taught us about how people actually want to support journalism, and why most of what we did might look ordinary to a commercial outlet and slightly heretical at ours. https://lnkd.in/gPsMWyJQWe Asked Our Readers to Buy, Not Donate.

Jake Dobkin liked thisJake Dobkin liked thisFor the past couple of months, I've stepped away from running City Cast as a whole to act as the temporary General Manager of City Cast DC. Thanks to the chaos at the Washington Post, our DC team has the chance to build the biggest and most essential local newsroom in the DMV, and I've been having so much fun hiring talented reporters and scrapping for stories. But all good things...Now we're hiring a permanent GM to replace me. You'll have the chance to run a fantastic, well resourced, ambitious local news operation within City Cast. You'll own the P&L; oversee edit, sales, marketing, subscriptions; and work with a delightful group of people. You've got to be in the DMV or be willing to move here, and you should have experience in business and media. Please apply yourself, or send me great suggestions. https://lnkd.in/e9E2RCEg
