At the recent Arizona Community Action Association Annual Conference, Arizona Public Media was presented with the “Media Leadership Award.” This award reflects AZPM’s commitment to eliminating poverty, and specifically, which helped residents learn about and understand the faces of poverty in Tucson and Southern Arizona.
The Community Interactive: Poverty – The Working Poor, a partnership with the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, and was held on February 12, 2014 at the Fox Theatre in Tucson. The event was hosted by Neal Conan, award winning journalist, producer, and former host of NPR’s Talk of the Nation, and included a panel of educators, researchers, social service professionals, and others working every day helping people in need.
