明尼苏达州卡莱韦(Callaway)的Niijii Radio(KKWE)在联邦资金损失180,000美元后,面临关闭的可能,如果裁员,将削减40%的收入,威胁到其150,000美元的国家补助金。 Niijii Radio (KKWE) in Callaway, Minnesota, faces potential closure after losing $180,000 in federal funding, a 40% revenue cut that threatens its $150,000 state grant if staff reductions occur. 该电台为白色地球国家和非土著听众提供服务,仅4名工作人员提供具有文化意义的节目、新闻和社区内容。 The station, serving the White Earth Nation and non-Native listeners, provides culturally significant programming, news, and community content with just four staff members. 总经理Margaret Roussu称,资金的消除是一个“悲剧性”打击,警告对土著和非土著社区造成毁灭性影响。 General Manager Margaret Rousu calls the funding elimination a “tragic” blow, warning of devastating impacts on Native and non-Native communities. 批评者认为,基于未经证实的自由偏见的主张,这项裁决反映了联邦其他支出中的优先事项不当。 Critics argue the decision, based on unproven claims of liberal bias, reflects misplaced priorities amid other federal spending. 该站正在寻求私人基金会的支持,预计将在三至六个月内作出决定。 The station is seeking private foundation support, with a decision expected in three to six months.
