[Kzyxtalk] new GM and? executive director?

[Tim Gregory]

[This is a very good question, going to the heart of a lot of the friction over
interpretation of mission statement..

a better question might be, can you explain the current operative interpretation of
our mission statement? a complex question, requiring a complex answer...

...and a fair hearing]

Good morning David,
Can you tell me what the difference is between Community and Public radio?

Thank you,
Kelly

They are required by law to publicly post the job opening as part of the process.
> John Coate, to the best of my knowledge, insisted that he be called Executive
Director upon his hiring. He also insisted that he have total co tell over the
programming. He had an interesting interpretation of the role of the board,
basically relegating it to fundraising, while all station operations were the
preview of management.  Any attempt by the board to set policy or effect
programming was considered "micromanaging."  Let's hope they find a new anther
with a more inclusive philosophy.

If the board of directors is responsible for overseeing the general manager, why
is the general manager the head of the board?  This has always seemed a bit odd
to me and now appears to be a good time to discuss the true title and scope of
work for Mr. Coate's replacement.  Does anyone have any factual information?
