These are the people who made up the Radio World editorial “community” in 2008. Taken together, their work, words and opinions created our coverage.
By subscribing to Radio World, you are signing in to one heck of a community of industry leaders. I marvel at how many people touch, and are touched by, the opportunity to contribute to Radio World. The ongoing nourishment of this community is one of the aspects of our work of which I’m most proud.
These are columnists, reporters, letter writers, Workbench contributors, photographers, interview subjects, Buyer’s Guide authors, critics, agitators, friends and companions. In conjunction with our valued advertisers — and the largely unheralded NewBay/Radio World staff — they literally make Radio World possible.
If I missed you, my apologies. If your name does not appear here and you would like to see your opinions or work in our pages, let me know. I’m at [email protected].
