Untitled[edit]

I am aware that there is a conflict of interest concern because I work at WNYC.

To eliminate conflict of interest from the article I reached out to Kvng

See below for the conversation:

Conflict of interest help?[edit]

I created a draft page for WNYC Studios (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:WNYC_Studios), a podcast producer and distributor.

Because I work at New York Public Radio, I am concerned about conflict of interest. I am seeking your experienced eye in guiding the article into becoming something informative that adheres to all of Wikipedia's standards.

I understand that you are very busy, and appreciate any help or guidance you can provide.

Thank you.

Looks like a good start. I will try to find some time to make some improvements. Please read WP:COI to understand Wikipedia conflict of interest policies. ~Kvng (talk) 18:12, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I've checked out WP:COI and believe that the WNYC Studios page meets the quality standards. I look forward to reading your improvements.

Update "United States of Anxiety" section[edit]

The current show leads discussions that situate current events within historical and cultural contexts.
