QUALITY OF LIFE is a public forum on the air. We look at people and issues affecting all of us in the Central Valley. Listeners are invited to call in and participate. Heard on Tuesdays at 9 a.m.
Moderator Terry Phillips is a Fresno native whose career in journalism has taken him around the world. He's served as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio and CBS News - from such places as Moscow, Baghdad, Kabul, Sarajevo...
"Once upon a time," says Phillips, "there was a federal requirement for broadcasters to present controversial issues of public importance in an honest, equal and balanced manner. It was called the Fairness Doctrine. Although no longer mandated by law, I still believe in the concept. QUALITY OF LIFE is intended to serve that purpose."
