As we look to the year ahead, we expect a great deal of uncertainty. Following the November election, the incoming Trump administration has announced the formation of a committee called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The charge of this committee, according to the administration, is to reduce the size of government and save money by improving efficiency and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse.

Our Redding-area services are experiencing issues due to a damaged microwave link. Our engineer has plans to keep service listenable through the remainder of the winter. We are currently waiting on parts and expect to implement a temporary solution in the next 2-3 weeks. Once the weather warms, we'll be able to make more lasting repairs.

Summer is awards season in newsrooms around the country, a time when several prominent news organizations recognize the best journalism produced in the previous year. Here at JPR, we submit stories that we believe reflect our best work, not to pat ourselves on the back, but to see how our work stacks up against our peers. These awards are judged by accomplished journalists, communication professionals and academics so recognition is very meaningful to both reporters and newsroom leaders.

JPR seeks a News Director to lead and manage news content across its broadcast and digital platforms.

JPR was among a dozen NPR stations around the country to be recognized in the small market category and the only station in this category to be recognized for investigative reporting.

Pacific Power has increased precautionary measures in light of heightened wildfire risk, resulting in more frequent outages across JPR's listening region.

The JPR newsroom received a series of awards in 2024 from the Public Media Journalists Association, the Radio Television Digital News Association, and the Society of Professional Journalists.
