Talk:WNYC Studios

Untitled
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?
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.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.  Wikipedia itself should not be used a source for other articles, as this does not contribute to  verifiability. If the article on Abumrad provides reliable sourcing for this claim, that is what this proposed addition should be sourced to. Otherwise, it should be removed in the article on Abumrad and not included here either. Actualcpscm (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

The show relaunched with new host, Julia Longoria, in May 2023.
