| Dear John, For most of America, yesterday was GIVING TUESDAY. But not for KQED. For us it was GIVING NEWSDAY, a day when loyal friends like you stood up for trustworthy, independent news and information on KQED. Thanks to the incredible generosity of KQED members, we raised over $120,000. We’re grateful for this outpouring of support! But we cannot stop there. Because your support is so critical, we are extending our GIVING NEWSDAY deadline to midnight Thursday in order to meet our goal of $150,000! Please donate now to support independent media in the Bay Area. Members are the reason KQED can offer diverse, thoughtful news programs that you depend on. Individual members have been our most important supporters, providing almost 60% of our operating revenue every year.
This unprecedented year has provided a vivid reminder of why public media matters. While too many news sources are focused on high click-through rates at the expense of fact-based news, KQED continues to strive for the highest quality reporting, delivering trusted information for listeners and viewers with programs like All Things Considered, Morning Edition, PBS NewsHour, Forum and KQED Newsroom. We are counting on our community to support KQED for GIVING NEWSDAY. Please join as a member now. Thank you for your support of independent media.
