FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 30, 2007
Nicole Sawaya Hired as New Pacifica Executive Director
KPFA Icon Returns to Lead the Legendary Radio Network
(Berkeley, CA – September 30, 2007) On Saturday, the
Pacifica National Board announced the hire of longtime
public radio broadcaster Nicole Sawaya as Executive
Director of Pacifica. Sawaya, whose firing as KPFA
General Manager in 1999 shocked KPFA staff and
listeners and led to a crisis which rocked Pacifica,
will start her tenure in mid-November.
The Pacifica Foundation is the parent organization of
KPFA Radio.
“I am honored to be brought back into the Pacifica
network,” says Sawaya. “Pacifica is a significant
force in broadcasting, and we will continue to build
upon the fine tradition of independent journalism and
radio programming, unfettered by corporate ownership
pressures so rampant in our media today, that Pacifica
can and does exemplify.”
Nicole Sawaya has been in noncommercial media –
primarily public radio – for over thirteen years. She
started as a news reporter, then segued into
management. Since then, she has been general manager
at KZYX, KPFA, and KALW. She also worked at NPR in
Washington DC.
Sawaya, who is Lebanese-American, has received
numerous awards throughout her career, including the
Milestone Award from American Women in Radio and TV,
Golden Gate Chapter; several Silver Reel Awards from
the National Federation of Community Broadcasters; and
the 2005
Journalist of the Year Award from the Society of
Professional Journalists, Northern California Chapter,
for her work in building news and public affairs
programs at KALW in San Francisco.
“This is an historic moment for KPFA and Pacifica,”
says KPFA interim General Manager Lemlem Rijio.
“Nicole is a radio visionary and her return to
Pacifica is cause for rejoicing for those who care
about groundbreaking, progressive noncommercial radio
in this country.”
Sawaya replaces the outgoing Greg Guma. She will be
based out of the Pacifica National office in Berkeley.

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
