Culture shock: Arts nonprofits feel the pinch: Times Argus Online

Culture shock: Arts nonprofits feel the pinch: Times Argus Online: "Vermont Public Radio officails blame a slumping economy for a protracted pledge drive that has taken two days longer than planned. And arts-centered organizations statewide worry consumer unease may be eroding financial support for cultural causes.

Mark Vogelzang, president and general manager at Vermont Public Radio, said he was optimistic Tuesday the station would reach its $480,000 goal sometime during the afternoon. While support for VPR's programming remains strong, Vogelzang said the summer drive had taken more time than expected."
