💨 Abstract

In Unalaska, Alaska, the KUCB public radio station focused on keeping the community safe during a tsunami warning while, 4,000 miles away, the Senate voted to eliminate federal funding for public media. The proposed cut affects nearly $1.1 billion for NPR and PBS, impacting smaller outlets most severely. Stations may close, and vital programming could be curtailed, including local news, children’s shows, and emergency alerts.
