WASU - FM Lockdown Coverage

The lockdown on the ASU campus today was scary, but thankfully, it has been lifted. WASU-FM did a good job (we give credit where credit is due), providing updates every 15 minutes on the status of the lockdown.

We're relieved that WASU-FM's staff recognized the responsibility that the station has to the campus community and to the Boone area.

As we've said before, the airwaves are public. We look to our local radio stations to be good stewards of the trust the public has placed in them.

Can we expect some type of follow up report from the WASU-FM news staff? An evaluation of how well the lockdown alert process worked? Lessons learned?

Will they ask the questions that need to be asked?
