Media coverage of Pacifica's financial crisis, listed here.

More mass media articles about the recent financial threats and temporary solutions to insure the survival of Pacifica have appeared that many readers have missed or not read.

So they are copied as links here for anyone's scanning the News from a more reporterly medium that is hardly available on any of the 5 radio stations. See these below.

Where all the [hopefully] 'facts' and admitted-opinions come from are not often or always revealed.  

Thus the assumption is that info repeated are mainly or from probably the limited press releases coming from the Pacifica Exe Director, or their staff there.

However,we hope there are other more neutral and less biased or slanted resources, with hard questions asked, and actual data inspected and fact-checking done! 

Otherwise there are divisions and factions that prefer or attack whatever temporary stories and what are "solutions" before going 'under' occurs. And each wants to claim Only They know what is RIGHT and best, of course. Each and everyone claims the same adjectives, but with differing verbs and nouns though. 

Who is on which 'side' and who decides or creates the majority of cronies and allies is not often described nor defined - nor even admitted.  

As was the question of 'if we do bankruptcy' or not. How long can the loan leniencies continue before some inabilities to repay those loans and interests occur ?

These links are here offered to insure that more sites are pointing to any real Reporting  - as it is called by Journalists who are paid & employed to do just that instead of justifying,  propagandizing, defending or attacking & blaming others for problems created by the very same people who have been in power at Pacifica.

This may be not only the various [6 in 4 yrs ? ] Exe Directors - but mostly the Pacifica National Board that consists of 4 members of each of their 5 radio stations' Local Station Boards nationwide. 

Chose what to read or what to ignore, until more factual, honest, accountable information - that is not manufactured or guessed or slanted comes out,if it does.
