I submitted the following question a while ago; thanks for responding! We too are busy! We are still looking for articles that reference low power and/or community radio, or low power fm radio, (LPFM). I want to find articles about community radio stations in the hurrican affected areas, and, indeed radio service during this time of crisis in general.

You can visit www.prometheusradio.org/katrina.shtml for a list of LPFMs in the FEMA disaster area--a engineer who works with us is currently down in Bay St Louis working on an LPFM station there, WQRZ-LP. Also WOUS-LP, we have heard, provided shelter for storm victims. And then there is KAMP, organized by Houston Indymedia volutneers, evacuationradioservices.org. I have found very few, but have only googled, radio and communication are so important, as we have seen, in times of disaster and crisis!

We here at the Prometheus Radio Project are honored to have met radical librarians at various conferences and events. We need a list of local, regional and national articles about low power FM (LPFM) radio service to bolster the comments we are filing at the FCC in support of LPFM service. We want to show the impact that LPFM has had on communities by citing the large number of articles that this low power radio service has inspired since the service started in 2000. We have a number of articles collected on our website, www.prometheusradio.org, but we're sure that there are tons more out there. This is something we are sure the ingenious radical reference folks can do with one hand tied behind their back and another poking around Lexis-Nexis, but we are having a hard time with it...

Among PRP's activities, we foster self-determination and media justice in communities nationally and internationally by building and advocating for low power FM (LPFM) stations, a new radio service started in 2000 by the FCC. There is currently a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking at the FCC which would significantly expand and facilitate aspects of LPFM service. The public is always invited to comment on these rulemakings, and filing comments on behalf of our LPFM constituents is a critical part of Prometheus' work. Comments are weighed by the FCC and often incorporated into rule changes that expand LPFM service. For more background on prometheus: www.prometheusradio.org.

Useful keywords: low power FM, LPFM, low power radio.

Ideally, these articles would show how LPFM provides communities with a critical service!
