NewPublicMedia.org is a campaign to reinvent public media in America. From PBS and NPR to community stations and independent Web sites, new public media looks to create a 21st century, noncommercial media system for arts, culture, education, local, national and international news and the exchange of ideas.
We must foster an inclusive and participatory conversation with the American people and Washington leaders to craft new policies for public media. Now is the moment of opportunity to reinvent public media for the 21st century. Join us >>

Empower Local Communities Through Local Radio
My career in radio broadcasting, though relatively short, has deep roots. I grew up in a family which almost exclusively listened to public radio, valued varied tastes in music, and encouraged artistic, musical, social and political exploration. I spent hours listening to the radio, taking in every bit of world news I could and wondering how radio broadcasting worked. I dreamed someday to be at the controls of a big mixing board, twisting knobs and talking into a microphone for the whole world to hear.
