This week, Clear Channel Communications, which owns eight D.C. stations, shut down its public affairs department and let Jerry Phillips go, eliminating what some local charities called their main link to the public. "We're taking a new direction," said Bennett Zier, Clear Channel's regional vice president. "Jerry is moving on." Zier said his stations, which currently have no news staff, will add "personality-based news for our morning shows," including some public affairs content.
