But opportunities for trans dancers in contemporary dance were still relatively non-existent \u003cem>— \u003c/em>just as they were nationally.

The three-year grant provided funding for an unprecedented research initiative between science media professionals and science communication academics with the goal of identifying how best to engage younger, more diverse audiences with science media. The project capped its research with a major national survey of science media habits in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This project has resulted in new approaches to STEM learning in informal environments that have the potential to transform the way science news is produced and delivered to the general public,” said \u003cstrong>NSF Program Officer Sandra H. Welch.\u003c/strong> “This collaboration between researchers and practitioners provides new protocols that can be used by science media producers to create targeted digital media for specific audiences based on the topics that appeal to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the pandemic to the extremes of climate change, it has been an especially critical time for science reporting and the public’s understanding of science,” said \u003cstrong>Sue Ellen McCann, lead principal investigator on the grant for KQED\u003c/strong>. “This generous NSF funding has allowed us to study science media engagement beyond traditional market research, and really dig into specific questions about our science content, working closely with the expertise of science communication researchers.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of this project, KQED and Texas Tech University have:\u003cbr />\n• Advanced insight into younger audiences’ engagement with science media;\u003cbr />\n• Identified missing and future audiences;\u003cbr />\n• Developed best practices for collaborative in-depth audience research;\u003cbr />\n• Created a new model for collaboration between science media content staff and academic science communication researchers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been able to put science communications theories to the practical test.” said \u003cstrong>Asheley Landrum of Texas Tech University and co-principal investigator on the project\u003c/strong>. “Our research team now has a much better understanding of the challenges journalists face in reaching and engaging audiences, especially in this polarized media environment. In the process, we’ve helped KQED discover ways to amplify the engagement of science content for harder-to-reach audiences.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project built on Landrum’s and collaborators’ \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pops.12396\">existing science curiosity research.\u003c/a> They developed a survey tool called the Science Curiosity Scale (SCS), which measures science interest through a combination of behavioral and self-reported indicators. This research also expanded the understanding of underengaged or “missing” audiences for science media. For the purposes of this project, missing audiences are defined as individuals who are “science curious” but are not engaging with science content. Of note, one key feature of science curious people is that they are more likely than others to read stories that disagree with their own opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Media Survey 2021\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nTo wrap up the (CTC) project, KQED and Texas Tech research teams completed a new national survey in August 2021 of science media habits of younger audiences. The survey asked many of the same questions as in the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13669/cracking-the-code-survey-results-on-millennials-and-their-science-curiosity\">2018 first-ever national science media survey of millennials\u003c/a>. The team homed in on questions that emerged from the past three years of research with a focus on millennials (25-40 years old) who are of particular interest as they have already dramatically changed the way media is consumed. The recent survey also examined the media behaviors of a portion of Gen Z (18-24 years old), the next generation shifting an already fragmented media landscape. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16748/science-engagement-a-new-survey-in-2021\">Read a more detailed article on the new survey and its results here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from that survey include:\u003cbr />\n•\u003cstrong> Curious Audience:\u003c/strong> Science curiosity is the strongest predictor of engagement with science — far above any demographic characteristic. However, science curiosity can vary by demographics.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Topics by Generation:\u003c/strong> Adults 40 and younger are most interested in nature, wildlife, and psychology/behavioral science. Gen Z are the adults most interested in climate change. Health and medicine become more important with age.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Platforms Used:\u003c/strong> Millennials most commonly use search engines and websites to find public media science content. YouTube is also popular. Gen Zers commonly use TikTok, which is the least popular platform for science among millennials.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Missing Audience:\u003c/strong> Black and Hispanic millennial women seem to be the most frequently “missing” audiences for science from platforms such as live radio, podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube. This is not the case for these women Gen Zers.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Science Stories:\u003c/strong> Stories that explain something audiences are curious about in nature and the environment are much more popular than any other type of story, including news about scientific discoveries and climate change.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Story Credibility:\u003c/strong> Science curious Gen Zers trust their gut intuition about whether science stories are credible, but they also prioritize peer review and expertise. Science curious millennials say they rely primarily on peer review and expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Additional Research Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nBesides the national media surveys, CTC’s audience research centered on questions for two of KQED’s science properties: \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>, its YouTube series about unusual animals and plants; and science news reporting on the radio and online.\u003cbr />\n• How can KQED adapt and expand upon existing research to understand the role of science identity and curiosity in millennial engagement and interest in science media?\u003cbr />\n• Which editorial tactics, platform choices, media formats, and engagement strategies — can increase millennials’ curiosity and interest in science content, with special attention given to underrepresented and underengaged, “missing” audiences within the millennial generation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/deep-look\">\u003cem>Deep Look \u003c/em>research \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• The YouTube algorithm is not determining \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s gender imbalance of 70 percent male vs. 30 percent female.\u003cbr />\n• Women and men with high science curiosity who watched \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> engaged with it equally.\u003cbr />\n• Women weren’t squeamish of “gross” content, but titles that emphasize useful information (health, medicine) appear to engage more women.\u003cbr />\n• Behind-the-scenes photos are less expensive and just as effective as behind-the-scenes-videos at engaging Deep Look’s missing audience of women, both science curious and not.\u003cbr />\n• Aesthetics and attractiveness are very important in thumbnail images. Specifically, intense colors and images that elicit curiosity or are perceived as “charming” engage more women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s preliminary\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13722/experimenting-with-science-news-headline-format-to-maximize-engagement\">science news research\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• Stories with forward referencing headlines (Ex. Here’s What Little Earthquakes Tell Scientists About the Likelihood of the Big One ) had a greater probability of being categorized as “real” news than the traditional or question (Do Little Earthquakes Mean the Big One is Close at Hand?) headline formats.\u003cbr />\n• Although science curiosity predicted anticipated engagement, participants generally (and millennials in particular) saw question-based headlines as less credible. Millennials were less likely to categorize these stories as real news (choosing “fake news” or “satire”) than they were the other headline types.\u003cbr />\n• The intuitive method of sparking curiosity via asking questions to increase engagement could be seen as click bait and result, instead, in loss of credibility — something that the news media, and science news in particular, cannot afford to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16981/when-science-news-is-awesome\">The science news team began a study to find out whether stories aimed at generating “awe” would drive deeper engagement\u003c/a>. From a preliminary study the team learned people can feel experiences like connectedness and vastness, not only through images but through a written story. The team intended to write their own science stories through an “awe” framework, but the pandemic redirected the team’s work, and halted testing of participants’ response to the articles, which would have required the use of Texas Tech’s Psychophysiology Lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16011/mask-messaging-for-covid19\">COVID-19 Mask research\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr />\n• Political party was the strongest predictor of participants’ beliefs about COVID-19 risks, mask-wearing, and policy support.\u003cbr />\n• Presenting participants with a written scientific consensus message did not significantly influence their beliefs.\u003cbr />\n• Viewing an infographic depicting how masks help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 increased study participants’ agreement that wearing masks can effectively keep the wearer and others safe, specifically among more skeptical audiences (such as men and Republicans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: The Mask study was one of several conducted under an additional 2020 NSF Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant to study COVID-19 related messaging and communication around the virus. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/about/tag/covid19\">Find out more about the project’s COVID-19 research here.\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16182/kqed-science-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-changing-nature-of-disaster-reporting\">Also, a comprehensive evaluation about reporting during a crisis/disaster can be found here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key takeaways from the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/scottburg\">project’s evaluation\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> include:\u003cbr />\n• By learning firsthand the kinds of issues that science media content producers and news reporters experience on a day-to-day basis, researchers better understand how their work can impact media practice.\u003cbr />\n• Media practitioners’ exposure to a variety of new research tools and methods raised their awareness and understanding of the importance of science communication and audience research.\u003cbr />\n• It is most helpful to media professionals when researchers can translate study findings into actionable insights.\u003cbr />\n• Building in regular opportunities for participant reflection and contextualizing of study results is imperative for the success and sustainability of these types of collaborations.\u003cbr />\n• Challenges in aligning long-term audience research with the demand for rapid science news reporting need to be considered.\u003cbr />\n• Dissemination of findings is just as an important undertaking as the research itself. Identifying target audiences for dissemination and determining the way in which findings would be best communicated regularly to those audiences is critical if the research is to have a lasting impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">KQED.org/CrackingtheCode,\u003c/a> for all of CTC’s research reports and project evaluation reports.

The three-year grant provided funding for an unprecedented research initiative between science media professionals and science communication academics with the goal of identifying how best to engage younger, more diverse audiences with science media. The project capped its research with a major national survey of science media habits in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This project has resulted in new approaches to STEM learning in informal environments that have the potential to transform the way science news is produced and delivered to the general public,” said \u003cstrong>NSF Program Officer Sandra H. Welch.\u003c/strong> “This collaboration between researchers and practitioners provides new protocols that can be used by science media producers to create targeted digital media for specific audiences based on the topics that appeal to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the pandemic to the extremes of climate change, it has been an especially critical time for science reporting and the public’s understanding of science,” said \u003cstrong>Sue Ellen McCann, lead principal investigator on the grant for KQED\u003c/strong>. “This generous NSF funding has allowed us to study science media engagement beyond traditional market research, and really dig into specific questions about our science content, working closely with the expertise of science communication researchers.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of this project, KQED and Texas Tech University have:\u003cbr />\n• Advanced insight into younger audiences’ engagement with science media;\u003cbr />\n• Identified missing and future audiences;\u003cbr />\n• Developed best practices for collaborative in-depth audience research;\u003cbr />\n• Created a new model for collaboration between science media content staff and academic science communication researchers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been able to put science communications theories to the practical test.” said \u003cstrong>Asheley Landrum of Texas Tech University and co-principal investigator on the project\u003c/strong>. “Our research team now has a much better understanding of the challenges journalists face in reaching and engaging audiences, especially in this polarized media environment. In the process, we’ve helped KQED discover ways to amplify the engagement of science content for harder-to-reach audiences.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project built on Landrum’s and collaborators’ \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pops.12396\">existing science curiosity research.\u003c/a> They developed a survey tool called the Science Curiosity Scale (SCS), which measures science interest through a combination of behavioral and self-reported indicators. This research also expanded the understanding of underengaged or “missing” audiences for science media. For the purposes of this project, missing audiences are defined as individuals who are “science curious” but are not engaging with science content. Of note, one key feature of science curious people is that they are more likely than others to read stories that disagree with their own opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Media Survey 2021\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nTo wrap up the (CTC) project, KQED and Texas Tech research teams completed a new national survey in August 2021 of science media habits of younger audiences. The survey asked many of the same questions as in the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13669/cracking-the-code-survey-results-on-millennials-and-their-science-curiosity\">2018 first-ever national science media survey of millennials\u003c/a>. The team homed in on questions that emerged from the past three years of research with a focus on millennials (25-40 years old) who are of particular interest as they have already dramatically changed the way media is consumed. The recent survey also examined the media behaviors of a portion of Gen Z (18-24 years old), the next generation shifting an already fragmented media landscape. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16748/science-engagement-a-new-survey-in-2021\">Read a more detailed article on the new survey and its results here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from that survey include:\u003cbr />\n•\u003cstrong> Curious Audience:\u003c/strong> Science curiosity is the strongest predictor of engagement with science — far above any demographic characteristic. However, science curiosity can vary by demographics.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Topics by Generation:\u003c/strong> Adults 40 and younger are most interested in nature, wildlife, and psychology/behavioral science. Gen Z are the adults most interested in climate change. Health and medicine become more important with age.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Platforms Used:\u003c/strong> Millennials most commonly use search engines and websites to find public media science content. YouTube is also popular. Gen Zers commonly use TikTok, which is the least popular platform for science among millennials.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Missing Audience:\u003c/strong> Black and Hispanic millennial women seem to be the most frequently “missing” audiences for science from platforms such as live radio, podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube. This is not the case for these women Gen Zers.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Science Stories:\u003c/strong> Stories that explain something audiences are curious about in nature and the environment are much more popular than any other type of story, including news about scientific discoveries and climate change.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Story Credibility:\u003c/strong> Science curious Gen Zers trust their gut intuition about whether science stories are credible, but they also prioritize peer review and expertise. Science curious millennials say they rely primarily on peer review and expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Additional Research Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nBesides the national media surveys, CTC’s audience research centered on questions for two of KQED’s science properties: \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>, its YouTube series about unusual animals and plants; and science news reporting on the radio and online.\u003cbr />\n• How can KQED adapt and expand upon existing research to understand the role of science identity and curiosity in millennial engagement and interest in science media?\u003cbr />\n• Which editorial tactics, platform choices, media formats, and engagement strategies — can increase millennials’ curiosity and interest in science content, with special attention given to underrepresented and underengaged, “missing” audiences within the millennial generation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/deep-look\">\u003cem>Deep Look \u003c/em>research \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• The YouTube algorithm is not determining \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s gender imbalance of 70 percent male vs. 30 percent female.\u003cbr />\n• Women and men with high science curiosity who watched \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> engaged with it equally.\u003cbr />\n• Women weren’t squeamish of “gross” content, but titles that emphasize useful information (health, medicine) appear to engage more women.\u003cbr />\n• Behind-the-scenes photos are less expensive and just as effective as behind-the-scenes-videos at engaging Deep Look’s missing audience of women, both science curious and not.\u003cbr />\n• Aesthetics and attractiveness are very important in thumbnail images. Specifically, intense colors and images that elicit curiosity or are perceived as “charming” engage more women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s preliminary\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13722/experimenting-with-science-news-headline-format-to-maximize-engagement\">science news research\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• Stories with forward referencing headlines (Ex. Here’s What Little Earthquakes Tell Scientists About the Likelihood of the Big One ) had a greater probability of being categorized as “real” news than the traditional or question (Do Little Earthquakes Mean the Big One is Close at Hand?) headline formats.\u003cbr />\n• Although science curiosity predicted anticipated engagement, participants generally (and millennials in particular) saw question-based headlines as less credible. Millennials were less likely to categorize these stories as real news (choosing “fake news” or “satire”) than they were the other headline types.\u003cbr />\n• The intuitive method of sparking curiosity via asking questions to increase engagement could be seen as click bait and result, instead, in loss of credibility — something that the news media, and science news in particular, cannot afford to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16981/when-science-news-is-awesome\">The science news team began a study to find out whether stories aimed at generating “awe” would drive deeper engagement\u003c/a>. From a preliminary study the team learned people can feel experiences like connectedness and vastness, not only through images but through a written story. The team intended to write their own science stories through an “awe” framework, but the pandemic redirected the team’s work, and halted testing of participants’ response to the articles, which would have required the use of Texas Tech’s Psychophysiology Lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16011/mask-messaging-for-covid19\">COVID-19 Mask research\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr />\n• Political party was the strongest predictor of participants’ beliefs about COVID-19 risks, mask-wearing, and policy support.\u003cbr />\n• Presenting participants with a written scientific consensus message did not significantly influence their beliefs.\u003cbr />\n• Viewing an infographic depicting how masks help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 increased study participants’ agreement that wearing masks can effectively keep the wearer and others safe, specifically among more skeptical audiences (such as men and Republicans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: The Mask study was one of several conducted under an additional 2020 NSF Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant to study COVID-19 related messaging and communication around the virus. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/about/tag/covid19\">Find out more about the project’s COVID-19 research here.\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16182/kqed-science-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-changing-nature-of-disaster-reporting\">Also, a comprehensive evaluation about reporting during a crisis/disaster can be found here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key takeaways from the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/scottburg\">project’s evaluation\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> include:\u003cbr />\n• By learning firsthand the kinds of issues that science media content producers and news reporters experience on a day-to-day basis, researchers better understand how their work can impact media practice.\u003cbr />\n• Media practitioners’ exposure to a variety of new research tools and methods raised their awareness and understanding of the importance of science communication and audience research.\u003cbr />\n• It is most helpful to media professionals when researchers can translate study findings into actionable insights.\u003cbr />\n• Building in regular opportunities for participant reflection and contextualizing of study results is imperative for the success and sustainability of these types of collaborations.\u003cbr />\n• Challenges in aligning long-term audience research with the demand for rapid science news reporting need to be considered.\u003cbr />\n• Dissemination of findings is just as an important undertaking as the research itself. Identifying target audiences for dissemination and determining the way in which findings would be best communicated regularly to those audiences is critical if the research is to have a lasting impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">KQED.org/CrackingtheCode,\u003c/a> for all of CTC’s research reports and project evaluation reports.

The promotions are part of a larger restructuring of the organization’s leadership framework that clarifies accountability and more widely distributes decision-making capabilities in the core areas of content, operations, revenue, finances, product and legal across the institution, and supports KQED’s mission to inform, inspire and involve its Bay Area communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Chief Revenue Officer, Mrowka is now accountable for areas that grow and deepen KQED’s relationships with audiences and financial supporters. These areas include the membership, corporate sponsorship, major giving, foundations and planned giving, audience development and intelligence, marketing and communications, creative, and events teams. She will further integrate and align all of the departments that drive financial support for the station, while developing long-term strategies to reach new audiences, and expand on current ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrowka, who was promoted from the position of Chief Audience Officer, has served in a number of roles for the station since her arrival in 2013. Under her oversight, membership at KQED has grown to 257,000 members on average—the highest number in the station’s history—and the station has tripled its digital revenue. On the audience side, she led the creation of the audience intelligence, audience development, and live events programming teams. Currently, 2.7 million people, almost half of Bay Area adults, use a KQED service each week.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During her tenure, DeLinda’s teams have contributed to unprecedented growth for the station,” says President and CEO Michael Isip. “With all audience and revenue departments under her leadership, KQED is poised to drive support so we can serve future generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her new role as Chief Operations and Administration Officer, Miller oversees organizational and technical operations and administrative functions while developing the talent, staff engagement and work culture needed to best reflect and serve KQED’s Bay Area communities. Miller and her operations teams provide direction on technical investments, expand KQED’s capabilities supporting live events, and pursue strategic partnerships that improve or enhance the station’s technical capabilities and service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller's oversight includes television and radio engineering and operations, which were responsible for delivering service to nearly 800,000 (cumulative average) weekly television viewers** and over 730,000 (cumulative average) weekly broadcast radio listeners*** and over 517,000 average monthly radio live stream listeners****. Information security and technology, facilities, safety, human resources, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), employment law, labor relations, venue and event services and strategic partnerships also fall under her supervision. Miller, who started her career at KQED in 2016 as Vice President, Human Resources & Chief Labor and Employment Counsel. previously served as the station’s Chief Administrative Officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maria has displayed exceptional leadership in maintaining the continuity of our operations during the two-year renovation of our headquarters, all the while helping us navigate the pandemic,” says Isip. “Her expanded role recognizes the importance of leadership and accountability for our operations, our people and our culture.“\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Executive Management Team and Leadership Structure\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Mrowka and Miller join Isip, Chief Content Officer Holly Kernan, Vice President of Product Duke Fan, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary William L. Lowery, and Chief Financial Officer Mitzie Kelly on KQED’s newly formed Executive Management Team (EMT). The EMT is responsible for strategic and operational leadership; establishing overall strategic goals, determining organizational and financial priorities, and supporting staff and strengthening work culture at KQED. The EMT replaces the station’s previous executive leadership team structure to more efficiently and effectively clarify accountability and ensure alignment in KQED’s core areas.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs part of this new framework, leadership and decision making working under EMT will be distributed more widely as part of KQED’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in management. Approximately sixty director-level leaders across eight cross-functional working groups will now meaningfully participate in long-range planning and establish priorities and action plans on issues that impact operations, staff and service to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The successful close of our eight-year Campaign 21 fundraising initiative this fall, along with the renovation of our headquarters position KQED for a new era of community service,” adds Isip. “These organizational changes share leadership responsibility for decisions that impact the entire organization, giving everyone at KQED a stake in our future.

The promotions are part of a larger restructuring of the organization’s leadership framework that clarifies accountability and more widely distributes decision-making capabilities in the core areas of content, operations, revenue, finances, product and legal across the institution, and supports KQED’s mission to inform, inspire and involve its Bay Area communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Chief Revenue Officer, Mrowka is now accountable for areas that grow and deepen KQED’s relationships with audiences and financial supporters. These areas include the membership, corporate sponsorship, major giving, foundations and planned giving, audience development and intelligence, marketing and communications, creative, and events teams. She will further integrate and align all of the departments that drive financial support for the station, while developing long-term strategies to reach new audiences, and expand on current ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrowka, who was promoted from the position of Chief Audience Officer, has served in a number of roles for the station since her arrival in 2013. Under her oversight, membership at KQED has grown to 257,000 members on average—the highest number in the station’s history—and the station has tripled its digital revenue. On the audience side, she led the creation of the audience intelligence, audience development, and live events programming teams. Currently, 2.7 million people, almost half of Bay Area adults, use a KQED service each week.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During her tenure, DeLinda’s teams have contributed to unprecedented growth for the station,” says President and CEO Michael Isip. “With all audience and revenue departments under her leadership, KQED is poised to drive support so we can serve future generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Miller and her operations teams provide direction on technical investments, expand KQED’s capabilities supporting live events, and pursue strategic partnerships that improve or enhance the station’s technical capabilities and service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller's oversight includes television and radio engineering and operations, which were responsible for delivering service to nearly 800,000 (cumulative average) weekly television viewers** and over 730,000 (cumulative average) weekly broadcast radio listeners*** and over 517,000 average monthly radio live stream listeners****. Information security and technology, facilities, safety, human resources, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), employment law, labor relations, venue and event services and strategic partnerships also fall under her supervision. Miller, who started her career at KQED in 2016 as Vice President, Human Resources & Chief Labor and Employment Counsel. previously served as the station’s Chief Administrative Officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maria has displayed exceptional leadership in maintaining the continuity of our operations during the two-year renovation of our headquarters, all the while helping us navigate the pandemic,” says Isip. “Her expanded role recognizes the importance of leadership and accountability for our operations, our people and our culture.“\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Executive Management Team and Leadership Structure\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Mrowka and Miller join Isip, Chief Content Officer Holly Kernan, Vice President of Product Duke Fan, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary William L. Lowery, and Chief Financial Officer Mitzie Kelly on KQED’s newly formed Executive Management Team (EMT). The EMT is responsible for strategic and operational leadership; establishing overall strategic goals, determining organizational and financial priorities, and supporting staff and strengthening work culture at KQED. The EMT replaces the station’s previous executive leadership team structure to more efficiently and effectively clarify accountability and ensure alignment in KQED’s core areas.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs part of this new framework, leadership and decision making working under EMT will be distributed more widely as part of KQED’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in management. Approximately sixty director-level leaders across eight cross-functional working groups will now meaningfully participate in long-range planning and establish priorities and action plans on issues that impact operations, staff and service to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The successful close of our eight-year Campaign 21 fundraising initiative this fall, along with the renovation of our headquarters position KQED for a new era of community service,” adds Isip. “These organizational changes share leadership responsibility for decisions that impact the entire organization, giving everyone at KQED a stake in our future.
