Central Florida Public Media (Website) will host a special beer-fueled fundraiser on Sunday, May 18, at the Ivanhoe Park Lager House (formerly known as Deadwords Brewing).
Pints for Public Media will run from 1-4 p.m. and feature live music and a portion from the bar proceeds will go to support Central Florida Public Media’s local news efforts.
Recent political attacks on NPR have sparked concern, not just for the national network but for the hundreds of local public radio stations that rely on federal funding to serve their communities. CFPM (formerly known as WMFE), your public radio station here in Central Florida, is one of them.
If efforts to defund public media gain traction, Central Florida Public Media could face serious financial challenges. The ripple effect of reduced funding could mean fewer local stories, less community coverage, and diminished public service—all at a time when reliable information is more important than ever.
Let’s support local journalism. By drinking beer.
