[nabs-l] An Apology To The List And An Important Message

[David Dunphy]

Hello To Everyone!
This is David Dunphy, asking each of you to read what I have to say
here. I will be as brief as I can, but I have three things I want to
put out here for you.
1. Apologies:
Since some objections were raised off list, I want to begin by
apologizing for the post about the launch of 195 The Globe to this
list that came out last Saturday.
. Initially, KJSC Radio was doing coverage for Nabs convention events
and similar things. With KJSC Radio having been shut down, 195 The
Globe was supposed to be taking over those responsibilities, which is
why you received the notification of our launch on this list. However,
this, too, has changed. Please read below. But to anyone who was
offended, I as owner take full responsibility for that and apologize.
2. I sadly regret to inform you all that as of this time, 195 The
Globe will not be covering any nabs events of any kind. This includes
phone calls, national convention meetings, etc. While sometimes we
promoted things that may not be directly related to students, there
have been several occasions where I and Chris Nusbaum in particular
has done things directly related to Nabs with The Blind Side and
similar programming. Even when this has happened, people have sent to
the list and to us complaints about the content. We as a station and a
group very much support students. They are not only the future of an
empowering organization like this, but many people, including myself
when I was in college, wouldn't even know what's available to students
if it wasn't for Nabs.
That being said, it is very clear that there isn't a clear direction
as to how we as a station can best serve this organization in a way
that will be as positive as possible to all people. Obviously, not one
size fits all, but there has been enough concern raised that it is
clear that things aren't being done in a way that is as suitable to
membership here as a whole as it should be.
While positive feedback and encouragement for us to keep going with
our coverage would be great to read, if you would like to see the
globe or another station covering your organization's events, please
contact the president or your other board members. You have elected
them to serve you, and they are moderators to this list, too.
So contact them. We are happy to work with them to provide content to
you in a way that would be more positive. But clearly, there is some
misdirection and disagreement as to how that should be done, and in
order to keep our station going well and in a positive light, and to
keep your organization happy, we are pulling out of all Nabs related
coverage until such time as we are told how we can best serve you by
your leadership. If we are no longer given this opportunity, it was an
honor personally for me to have recorded and streamed your calls and
to have been part of your national convention meetings. I hope for the
opportunity to serve you in this way again, but it will be up to your
leadership and to you.
Should you wish to get in touch with me, please email me at
ddunphy at 195theglobe.com
but I would encourage you to contact your board if you'd like us as a
station to be involved again.

3. I'm including at the end of this email for those who would like to
keep up with the globe information for doing just that. If this is of
no interest to you, you can safely close your email down or move on to
your next messages that you would like to read.
But for those who are interested, since no more emails will be sent
out, at least at this time, about what's going on with the globe, read
below this message so you know how to keep up. Thank you for taking
the time to read my email, and I hope you all have a happy holiday.
All the best,
David Dunphy
