In Julia O'Malley's article on diversity training for radio announcers, she discussed how a joke that was broadcasted of the radio led to much more than just an innocent joke. Basically in the story O'Malley talks about the radio station KWHL out of Alaska, which is hosted by Bob Lester and Mark Colavecchio had to do some damage control after Lester and Colavecchio made a joke regarding Indians. The joke was in reference to one particular Indian tribe, the Tlingit, which is pronounced KLINK-it. The joke was about "Cash for Tlingit". This joke was heard by some people that took offense to it, specifically Rochene Rowan-Hellén, who then contacted the appropriate authorities. This then led to a meeting with FAI officials, Lester, Colvecchio and other employees of the radio station. After this Lester and Colvecchio attened the Alaska Native Heritage Center, where they gained insight on Native culture and they also realized they had lots of fans there. Going forward the radio station employees have will review all material before airing to make sure there are not any racial undertones.
