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 >>

Considering that the purpose of public media is to meet the needs of the public and not the shareholders, this poll is a good sign that PBS is on the right track.
