Sometimes we just have to say no. Our friends at NPR Illinois, who already have an ad in the paper, were asking if we might find some editorial space this week to promote the many events they have planned for their first Public Radio Week, April 29-May 5. To make room for that we’d have to hold the crossword, and it’s just not worth the grief we’d get from disappointed puzzlers. In lieu of publicity, we’ll just say NPR Illinois, formerly known as WUIS, is leading the way with innovative journalism and creative promotions, backed by solid funding from the UIS administration and appreciative listeners. We can support our local public radio station, while exploring “news, ideas and what it means to be human,” by attending next week’s events, listed at nprillinois.org. –Fletcher Farrar, editor and CEO
