ANOTHER DATA NUGGET ABOUT FACEBOOK • PUBLIC RADIO CONFERENCE CALENDAR 2019


While doing research for today’s post – the Public Radio Conference Calendar for 2019 – we came across the factoid on the left.

Jacobs Media is dribbling out information from the 2019 Commercial Radio Tech Survey slide-by-slide to promote the release of the entire study March 28th at the Worldwide Radio Summit in Burbank.

After surveying 50,000 respondents, representing well more than 500 radio stations, the study found that more than one-forth of respondents are seriously considering deleting their Facebook accounts, mostly because of privacy concerns. Holy toxic brand image!

We intended to include the Worldwide Radio Summit in our list of recommended conferences for public radio folks.  However, when we looked at the agenda and list of speakers we did not find a single person listed who works in public radio, public media or noncommercial broadcasting. Not one. You’d think we are living in 1977.  All Access, you can do better.

Now, here are the conferences we do recommend:
