Carolyn Crane is a radio and print journalist whose work focuses on social and environmental justice. She has hosted the Monday Morning show since the fall of 2000, and has been actively involved in KVMR for the last ten years. A former college English professor, Crane refocused her career toward activism after 9/11.

In the fall of 2003, Crane launched the Left Coast Radio Network. Currently the network provides progressive political features and interviews to other radio stations. As the network expands, it will offer a variety of programming relating to health and culture as well as more extensive political coverage. Of particular interest to Crane is the rapidly increasing resistance to economic globalization. In September, 2003, she traveled to Cancun, Mexico to report on the WTO ministerial there. Through her weekly radio program, Crane endeavors to empower her listening community to engage in and celebrate alternatives to corporate-driven consumerism. She works diligently to increase the strength of community and independent radio and television, the last form of publicly accessed media that is not delivered to the public through the distortion of a corporate lens.

Her journalistic work in both radio and print has included some of the giants of the progressive movement, including Maude Barlow, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Danaher, Jerry Mander, Jeremy Skahill, and Norman Solomon. Her work is scheduled to appear in The Sun and other progressive magazines in 2004.

Crane lives in a Quaker community in rural Nevada County with her three sons, and her cat.
