It’s a title I embrace, and an approach that has served me well in my years in public media.
As an industry, we will seek and secure a level of financial support commensurate with public media’s importance to individuals, to communities, and to America.
In the near term, Greater Public will focus attention and resources on building organizational muscle to support your work, most urgently in two big areas of opportunity: philanthropy and non-broadcast revenue.
