[Peace] Change is afoot at WILL-AM...

[Randall Cotton]

This e-mail has come to my attention, and no, it's not a joke. Ali Kawa, who
participated (to what extent we don't know) in the crafting of the WILL
listener commentary policy that served to silence our voice on WILL-AM and
who was assigned as the contact point for submission of listener commentary,
is leaving her position at WILL in two weeks. It remains to be seen whether
she will attend the August 22nd AWARE meeting, as I previously announced on
this list. It seems unlikely, but we shall see.

This could work in our favor, but that remains to be seen as well.

Sadly for us, Ali will be leaving WILL in two weeks to accept a job as
Provena Covenant's governmental and community affairs liaison.

Ali leaves us after four terrific years, most of them as Morning Edition
news anchor.  She's been an indispensable team member in the news
department, taking on new tasks.  Lately, those new tasks have included
helping draft a commentary policy and filling in as interim news director
in my absence.  Of course, she also contributed to the everyday quality
of the news staff as well as our award-winning material, such as the
Smile Healthy! series.

It's going to be very hard to replace Ali, but I and everyone else wish
her all the best as she enters a new career field.  Congratulations Ali!
