THE BLOGS - KSFR contributors and staff have much more to say than we can fit on the radio. From news commentary to music and arts reviews, here are some favorites.

Writings and musings of Steve Terrell , political reporter and music columnist for The Santa Fe New Mexican, and producer of Terrell's Sound World and The Santa Fe Opry on KSFR, Santa Fe Public Radio. "This site is a personal publication independent of my professional capacity at the Santa Fe New Mexican. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of The Santa Fe New Mexican or santafenewmexican.com Same goes for KSFR. Don't blame them for anything weird I might post here." Go to Steve's page .

KSFR News Director, Bill Dupuy, wouldn't think of permitting himself, or any member of the news team, to inject personal opinion into the news you hear at the top of each hour on 101.1 FM. But you can read lots of "plain speak" -- about surprising new threats to journalistic independence, compelling backstories to events we cover, and even occasional, amusing twists and turns his team encounters in bringing back the story. Read about all that in Bill's Blog here .

THE SHOWS  - We're not NPR (though we like them very much). That's why we say "Hear More" on KSFR. Intelligent talk each weekday at 8 AM on "The Santa Fe Radio Cafe " and afternoons at 4 PM with "Hear and Now " followed by "The Journey Home " at 5 PM. "Democracy Now " with Amy Goodman, airs twice daily here on 101.1 FM -- at 6 AM and at 3 PM. The largest (and most decorated) broadcast news team in Northern New Mexico, "KSFR NEWS " brings you news on-the-hour all day -- and a full hour of news each weekday at 7 AM and 12 Noon. Our partners at BBC cover national and international events for us wherever they occur.

Hear more of the Music of America: Jazz rules weekdays 9 AM to noon and 1 PM to 3PM. Folk, blues, world, experimental, New Mexican, opera, classical, Native American and more still, air throughout each week.
 

WAREHOUSE 21 AND THE YOUTH MEDIA PROJECT - Two exciting opportunities for youth radio and much more. Check out our friends at W21. A community of youth artists, mentors and volunteers. Warehouse 21 is a hub for youth directed development in the arts through mentorship and entrepreneurial opportunities. Learn more about W21 .

And for a more focused trip to self-expression with the aid of a microphone, edit bay, and other audio paraphernalia, look into the Youth Media Project -- a co-production with KSFR, local high schools and colleges. The Youth Media Project helps create the next generation of media in northern New Mexico. By working with our community and educational partners, the Youth Media Project gives youth producers the tools and training to understand their world by asking questions and getting answers. We bring together academic studies, radio broadcasts, and web-based interactivity to help young people tell stories and voice their opinions. Learn more about YMP .

KSFR partners with myriad community organizations throughout the year. Watch this space for profiles of some of the projects we've undertaken together.
 

Check-in here to see what staged events KSFR and our community partners plan to present in 2009. Last year, Santa Fe Community College and KSFR brought political commentator Arianna Huffington to Santa Fe. It was the first of the continuing Kate Besser Memorial Lecture Series. We also helped stage Music on the Hill --  six free open air concerts at St. John's College featuring top jazz performances. And we broadcast the Thirsty Ear roots music festival live. There's lots more just ahead....
