Board member Maryann Hrichak explains why she supports the Public Press
Don’t you love newspapers? Here are instructions on how to make your own origami frog!
What do you enjoy most about being on the board of directors?
I enjoy talking about the Public Press with people in the community and thinking about ways to get the paper out there. I also enjoy the camaraderie of the board. It’s the first board of directors in which I’ve ever participated. I love seeing the progress of the organization each time the board meets.
What have you learned?
All about the hard work and dedication it takes to actually make this organization run. And how good news is hard to come by. It’s been great to work with such a committed and dedicated group of people who also like to have fun and contribute important, relevant and timely news for people in the Bay Area.
Why should people support the Public Press?
Because their journalism is excellent and the issues they report on are not covered as indepth anywhere else, to my knowledge. This is a good organization to call your own, especially if you live in San Francisco.
Why do you support public media?
All kinds of public media are important to our daily lives, especially in a place like the Bay Area. You get some of the best views and critical news from those who are involved with public media and helping to make it really work. Your perspective is broadened and you learn a lot.
What’s the best way to get involved?
Membership is important not only for the special benefits you get as a member; it also gives the organization a steady financial base so the editors and reporters can focus on doing good journalism. Members also get to meet other members at special events, share common interests and concerns, and feel like they are part of something much larger than themselves.
Please consider making a donation today.
