What Happened: In Their Own Words, A Special Report

from On The Beat · host SYN Media

As this broadcast went to air, volunteers at this station were scrambling to save it.  SYN Media was in the middle of a marathon 24 hours of live broadcasting - raising awareness for an emergency fundraiser which had raised more than $36k at the time of broadcast.   The station’s staff and board say its future hinges on this fundraiser’s success.  That’s because after celebrating 20 years on air, they say SYN may close in just six weeks.   'What Happened' is an extensive — and, at-times, confronting — account of a difficult week.  In this special report, you’ll hear from current and former volunteers, staff and board members.   SYN Media news editor Loughlin Patrick spoke to them on and off the record about when key information was learned and who made key decisions.  Because for many, there is only one question: what happened?   Head to syn.org.au/whathappened to read this report.   Visit givenow.com.au/savesyn to learn more about the fundraiser.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
