Iowa Public Radio Funding and Leadership Changes
Iowa Public Radio faces 2014 funding of 708600 from regent universities while seeking 944800 in future goals. The board approved cost cutting including 500000 from reserves, and Myrna Johnson became executive director in January after Mary Grace Herrington was fired in 2013 with a 197000 severance. The Regents may discuss the funding request at a Council Bluffs meeting.
