Stanley
Graham Stephens
(1929 - ) |
Stanley,
co-owner of KOJM in Havre, helped define for all
Montana broadcasters the impact a radio station
has on its community. From 1953 to 1985, with partner
Lyle Leeds, Stephens guided KOJM to a policy of
local fund-raisers and free air time for citizens
to speak on key issues. Stephens developed the art
of the radio editorial, winning RTNDA's Edward R.
Murrow award in 1975 for exposing a workmen's compensation
scandal. Stephens served as Governor of Montana
from 1989-93. Of the non-revenue aspect of public
service broadcasting, Stephens said, "You cash
it in within yourself, with the pride of what you're
doing and the recognition that it's worthwhile and
important." |
