The catbird, a jazz artist, works his exotic repertoire. Above, a robin, stuck on repeat, warns of a predator walking below. The cool quiet redescends on Sagaponack.

As some of the last locally operated media in the country, public media is a beacon of learning and freedom of expression — that could cease to exist. Recent proposals to rescind, cut or eliminate public media funding are destructive and shortsighted. Cutting federal funding would leave many Americans without the critical services local public television and radio stations provide, from proven education resources to essential lifesaving public safety services. The threat to WLIW, home to Long Island’s only PBS and NPR stations, is dire. Funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes funds to public media and public radio ... by Diane Masciale
