That Public Media, if you look at the roots, is more than 100 yeas old. 13:08:27 From Skip Hinton to Host and panelists: Thank you for doing this. After more than 60 years in public media - I look forward to learning much more! 13:09:05 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Josh has written many essays for Current.

Can you open the texts Thanks! 13:09:33 From Jeffrey Hughes to Everyone: I dream that this presentation could become a powerful documentary one day. Sure wish we had something to tell our story right now. I’m already inspired after the first 5 minutes of this presentation! 13:11:25 From Mike McKenzie to Everyone: FCC created set-aside for educational broadcasting licenses in 1930s. 13:12:19 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Josh has generously shared a more focused (30 page) PDF version of his book for y’all.

Thank you! 13:14:12 From Jackie Stapleton to Everyone: This is fascinating! Thank you for the PDF (still planning on nerding out and purchasing book). 13:14:20 From Sherman Dorn to Everyone: I love the history of the bicycle network. In her first proposal for what became “Sesame Street,” for NYC’s Channel 13 (they said no — she and Lloyd Morissett then found $8M in funding by 1968), Joan Ganz Cooney argued against using the bicycle network because she wanted to make sure that stations broadcast the show at times that she thought was appropriate. 13:14:21 From J.R. Rudolph to Everyone: Thank you for this! 13:15:35 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Allison’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Public-Interests-Advocacy-Struggles-Television/dp/0813572290 13:15:46 From Skip Hinton to Everyone: Correct - we should recognize the important convergence of opportunities…. The 1967 Act, the creation of the interconnection system and the launch of Sesame Street. Sesame forced common carriage, requiring morning broadcast, repeated in the afternoon, and delivered via the ATT network. 13:16:14 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: There’s a ton of pieces on Current as part of our “Rewind: the Roots of Public Media,” curated by Josh and Mike Janssen: https://current.org/series/rewind/. Many of these stories are in front of the paywall. If you hit the paywall on them and want access, email me julie@current.org and I’ll try to help 13:16:28 From Lindsey Foat to Host and panelists: Bookshop.org also has Allison’s book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/public-interests-media-advocacy-and-struggles-over-u-s-television-allison-perlman/15230274?ean=9780813572291&next=t&next=t 13:18:31 From Ginger Spivey to Host and panelists: Thank you for the additional resources!! 13:19:12 From Bill Siemering to Host and panelists: The FCC also set aside channels for FM radio station. 13:19:51 From Franz Joachim to Everyone: Frieda Hennock's role? I ask my staff all the time, What would Frieda Do? 13:20:26 From Lindsey Foat to Everyone: Bookshop.org also has Allison’s book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/public-interests-media-advocacy-and-struggles-over-u-s-television-allison-perlman/15230274?ean=9780813572291 13:20:28 From Josh Shepperd to Host and panelists: Yes Henpeck was absolutely crucial at passing the Sixth Report and Order of 1952 - without her other FCC Commissioners would have capitulated. 13:20:38 From Josh Shepperd to Host and panelists: Hennock! (Autocorrect) 13:21:10 From Frank Mueller to Everyone: We have a plaque here at WPSU celebrating the Educational Television Program Institute conference in 1952 where leaders met to discuss programming and funding models for those 242 channels 13:21:31 From Frank Mueller to Everyone: (Penn State, I should say) 13:21:32 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Admin reminder, set your Chat “Everyone” unless you want to just ping the host and panelists. 13:22:23 From Josh Shepperd to Everyone: Yes Hennock was the visionary FCC Commissioner who persuaded the other Commissioners to sign off on the Sixth Report and Order of 1952! 13:23:28 From Josh Shepperd to Everyone: Susan Brinson has written about Hennock, and I write about her a bit in the last chapter of my book. 13:24:54 From John Murphy to Everyone: Did you cover the work of the Public Radio Expansion Task Force in the 1980s? I participated. It was a failed attempt to combine public, community and college radio in an integrated system to coordinate service and resources. Some lost history! 13:25:05 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Laura’s book: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691257419/listeners-like-who?srsltid=AfmBOorJSi9Qr2JM-NpZIff9iMwAuFhj_hjrtSYhkKZaxYfBl94EQgi9 13:25:09 From Suzanne Smith to Everyone: This webinar needs to be part of the PBS 101 training. 13:25:40 From Lindsey Foat to Everyone: @Suzanne we can link to it 🙂 13:26:53 From Suzanne Smith to Everyone: 😁 Thanks, Lindsey! 13:28:12 From Josh Shepperd to Everyone: Really interesting, John, and would be great for the history series at Current. 13:28:34 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Understanding public broadcasting's past is important to considering its future. I wrote about this in a Current piece in September. Might be relevant and of interest. https://current.org/2024/09/why-public-medias-past-might-be-its-future/ 13:28:47 From Steve Robinson to Host and panelists: Laura’s book is $120. Well worth it, I’m sure,. 13:28:58 From Chad Davis to Everyone: The book that Laura just referenced on the founding mothers: https://shopnpr.org/susan-linda-nina-cokie-the-extraordinary-story-of-the-founding-mothers-of-npr-by-lisa-napoli 13:29:17 From Katie Moylan to Everyone: Many thanks for sharing these resources! 13:29:22 From Jackie Stapleton to Everyone: @Julie is the 'Rewind' series available packaged all together? 13:29:22 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Excerpt on Current: “How Susan, Linda, Nina and Cokie became NPR’s ‘Founding Mothers’” By Lisa Napoli, Author, "Susan, Linda, Nina & Cokie: The Extraordinary Story of the Founding Mothers of NPR. https://current.org/2021/04/how-susan-linda-nina-and-cokie-became-nprs-founding-mothers/ 13:30:01 From Steve Robinson to Host and panelists: Thanks for the correction! 13:30:22 From Chad Davis to Everyone: That’s my bad.

Consider exploring yours and sharing it with your audience especially when celebrating major anniversaries. 13:33:44 From Josh Shepperd to Everyone: Thanks John, and this is open to anyone who’s interested in writing a public media history for Rewind - I can be reached at josh7759@colorado.edu 13:34:28 From Laura Garbes to Steve Robinson, host and panelists: Yes, that is correct. Feel free to sign up to be notified when the pre-order link is live. 13:35:01 From Chad Davis to Susan Sternberg, host and panelists: I’ll keep that in mind.

But I’ll add Bookshop to the search term. 13:35:07 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: About BPM: Our Mission Black Public Media supports the development of visionary content creators and distributes stories about the global Black experience to inspire a more equitable and inclusive future.https://blackpublicmedia.org/about/ 13:37:21 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: BPM, VisionMaker Media, Latino Public Broadcasting, Pacific Islanders in Communication, and Center for Asian American Media are all part of the National Multicultural Alliance, a coalition of BIPOC public TV organizations. https://nmcalliance.org 13:37:43 From Denise Olson to Host and panelists: I want to preserve some of these chat comments for further research, but copy/paste and commenting isn’t working. Will you be distributing? 13:38:15 From J.R. Rudolph to Everyone: Thank you! 13:38:20 From Josh Shepperd to Everyone: Laura’s book is on a top press, also worth pointing out that she’s already won the top dissertation award in the country for the entire field of Sociology! https://cla.umn.edu/sociology/news-events/news/laura-garbes-named-co-recipient-2023-asa-dissertation-award 13:38:55 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Check this out! 13:39:05 From Amber Samdahl to Denise Olson, host and panelists: @Denise - I’m sorry the chat comments aren’t copy/pasting correctly. Yes, we will be posting the chat with the recording. 13:39:42 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Inaugural PBS diversity report highlights BIPOC contributions to programming 13:39:49 From Terry Dugas to Everyone: Local stations can start by preserving the oral history of their founders. The Library of Congress Veterans History project has good guidelines. https://www.loc.gov/programs/veterans-history-project/how-to-participate/vhp-field-kit/ 13:39:50 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: https://current.org/2022/03/inaugural-pbs-diversity-report-highlights-bipoc-contributions-to-programming/ 13:40:50 From Susan Sternberg to Host and panelists: Will this presentation be available online after this live chat? Would like to recommend to friends who will be interested 13:41:12 From Josh Shepperd to Susan Sternberg, host and panelists: I can stick around 13:41:21 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Black Folk Don’t is truly brilliant! Hopefully PBS won’t take that down, too! https://www.pbs.org/show/black-folk-dont/ 13:41:56 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: This webinar recording will be available in approximately 1 week on our Public Media Innovators Events page: https://publicmedialearns.instructure.com/courses/237/pages/events 13:42:13 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: To any and all who want to answer: how is your scholarship / work focused on reaching / serving / addressing disability, ensuring authentic representation of disability on screen, and/or accessibility in production and distribution. Given the references to broad public, diversity driving innovation, and mission for serving all Americans and the fact that disability cuts across all demographics (25+% of American adult population), how do you ensure disability is contemplated as part of your work? 13:43:13 From Kevin Colligan to Host and panelists: For any panelist, I’d be curious to hear how you think lessons from the past can be applied to the challenges public media faces today 13:45:32 From Skip Hinton to Everyone: "Government funding" extends far beyond congressional appropriations through CPB. We must recognize that loss of Congressional support would prompt loss of state support - both state appropriations and public university. 13:46:42 From Steve Robinson to Host and panelists: In the 1970’s, CPB issued a report about minorities in public broadcasting subtitled, “Asleep at the switch.” A week or two ago, that is, 50 years later, CURRENT published a report saying that the boards of public broadcasting stations don’t reflect the communities they serve. So a half-century has gone by since CPB’s report, does anyone on the panel think things will change over the next 50 years? 13:47:03 From Mark Leonard to Everyone: and music licensing among other things. 13:47:05 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: “Viewers like Us” New podcast hosted by Grace Lee examines public TV’s track record on DEI By Julian Wyllie Julian Wyllie, Reporter | September 29, 2021. https://current.org/2021/09/viewers-like-us-grace-lee-podcast-diversity-pbs-public-tv/ 13:47:20 From Dan Socolof to Host and panelists: Given the current social and political climate and debate about the perceived bias of public media in Washington and likely across many states and communities; what lessons from history should public media leaders embrace to inform the conversation of why, now more than ever, public media is a treasure not to be undermined ? 13:48:14 From Angela Hiatt to Host and panelists: Amber, I'm glad this will be available as a recording. Is it possible to include the amazing links and reading suggestions from the chat with the recording or maybe in a follow up email? 13:48:54 From John Murphy to Host and panelists: Thank you for this series, much appreciated. It will be wonderful to expand linkages between local level service providers and national efforts and resources. Press Forward is a fabulous resource! 13:50:51 From Amber Samdahl to Angela Hiatt, host and panelists: @Angela - Yes! We will be sure to include the chat and transcript alongside the recording. 13:51:51 From Laura Garbes to Everyone: Great point Leslie 13:53:01 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Here are two interesting historical webinars Current’s Mike Janssen hosted during the 50th anniversary of Public Broadcasting Act called “Get with the Program”. One featured Marlon Riggs’ “Tongues Untied” about Black gay men. (Would NEVER air on PBS in 2025). And, a show about the William F. Buckley’s groundbreaking “Firing Line.” Another program that could never happen today. A new “Firing Line” airs on public TV but it bears zero resemblance to the original show which my liberal parents watched all the time. Our public TV–watching parties continue By Mike Janssen Mike Janssen, Digital Editor | June 23, 2017. https://current.org/2017/06/our-public-tv-watching-parties-continue/ 13:54:56 From Insley Davis to Everyone: Love that!!!! 13:55:09 From Tabitha Safdi to Host and panelists: Hands Performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPPyVyE-bMQ 13:55:22 From Shelia Summers to Everyone: There are so many great resources being shared in this webinar and the chat. Would it be possible to get a copy of the chat? I am not able to save or copy it. Thank you for this event! 13:55:47 From Caitlin Dutton-Reaver to Everyone: Also - adding to this amazing gathering and crucial discussion for a quick (off-topic) poll as a share of resources: If your station utilizes a project management software and love it, please drop quickly into the chat or email me separately later (cduttonreaver@pbsnc.org) 13:55:54 From Laura Garbes to Everyone: Excellent work by Mara Mills in this area, though not directly about the histories we’re speaking on here: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/mara-mills 13:56:25 From John Murphy to Everyone: Same here, cannot copy text info. Taking photos to capture text but wow.....can text be unlocked? 13:56:30 From Suzanne Smith to Everyone: I click on the link then save it from the search bar and save it in a doc in word. 13:56:32 From McKayla Fox to Everyone: I agree with Sheila, the chat is full of helpful resources I'd like to be able to have a copy of as well! 13:56:45 From Jennifer Waits to Everyone: Bill Kirkpatrick has done work on radio and disability as well. 13:57:00 From Skip Hinton to Everyone: The "network of academics" is interesting concept. The NAEB Journal was a good way to encourage academic interest and publication. Absent such a publication we miss a great deal. 13:57:06 From Talia Rosen to Everyone: In addition to the great work of BPM in this space, we've also seen excellent work by both ITVS and POV in this area, as described in this overview: https://www.pbs.org/standards/blogs/standards-articles/raising-awareness-about-disability-and-accessibility/ 13:57:10 From Laura Garbes to Everyone: Disability Media Studies: https://nyupress.org/9781479849383/disability-media-studies/ 13:57:13 From Ramey Wood to Everyone: Thank you, each, all!,… Indeed, “nothing about us, without us!” To those very horizons & to the presence of each, authentically, Josh, Laura,… Thank you! I have to run! Thank you! 13:57:20 From Kevin Colligan to Host and panelists: Close enough on pronunciation 🙂 13:57:22 From Jennifer Waits to Everyone: https://www.billkirkpatrick.net/resources/Kirkpatrick_ShutIns_Web.pdf 13:57:22 From Selena Lauterer to Host and panelists: Thank you for this excellent session — truly needed. Can’t wait for more! 13:57:59 From Chad Davis to Everyone: For copying, try right clicking, or two-finger tap on Macs. That’s how I’ve been copying the questions into a text file for this Q&A section. 13:58:25 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: WGBH is the leader on making public TV accessible to disabled Americans. Current’ cohosted an event with them on Disability in public TV in front of and behind the camera: EVENTS Disability ReFramed: In Media: Nothing About Us Without Us https://www.wgbh.org/events/disability-pride 13:59:02 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Thanks, Josh, for the Incubator shout out. As Josh knows, we need more data / research on disability in public media. Here’s the VIA Initiative: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/pbs-american-masters-visibility-inclusion-accessibility-initiative-1235627567/ and here’s RENEGADES: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH8F0Cu5Vx8KlS0R7Juede9w3AVv8Lr9G&si=3Nr2YdH8_mv_W1R9 13:59:29 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: “How public media can make good on its commitment to diversity.” By Sachi Kobayashi. https://current.org/2022/05/how-public-media-can-make-good-on-its-commitment-to-diversity/ 14:01:25 From Lori Goldstein to Everyone: Hello organizers -- I just switched devices and lost all the chat contents. Is there any chance you could save and share the chat with the recording? Thank you. 14:01:58 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Current has a ton of content about diversity (equity and inclusion) in public media: Making Good on public media’s mandate to reflect and serve all Americans. You can find all that content here: https://current.org/series/diversity 14:02:38 From Tracie Mahadeo to Everyone: Can these links be shared out after the webinar? Such good stuff, I'd like to be able to read through everything later. Thanks! 14:03:08 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Hi @Lori and @Tracie! Yes, the chat and transcript will be shared with the recording on our Public Media Innovators Events page: https://publicmedialearns.instructure.com/courses/237/pages/events 14:03:26 From Lori Goldstein to Everyone: Thank you! 14:03:41 From McKayla Fox to Everyone: Thank you! 14:03:49 From Tracie Mahadeo to Everyone: Great, thank you! 14:03:51 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: NOMINATE a RISING STAR at your station by Feb 28!

This webinar is wonderful! 14:05:07 From Steve Robinson to Host and panelists: Julie posted the article I referenced. See above. 14:07:19 From Elspeth Evehart to Host and panelists: If we have to remove DEI from our mission, scrub the words from our website to appease the new admin, what do we lose? How can we continue the mission as it was intended? 14:07:37 From Jackie Stapleton to Everyone: Amy Shaw is amazing! 14:07:38 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: During 2017 celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Public Broadcast Act, I produced a 17-part podcast series “Made Possible By” which paired DIVERSE pubmedia newbies with the founders and pioneers of our system: Truly great conversations … passing the baton and enabling young talents to learn the history of our field. https://current.org/2017/11/made-possible-by-1-rick-breitenfeld-shares-secrets-to-success/ 14:07:38 From RJ Nelson to Host and panelists: Thank you - this webinar has been eye-opening. I’m a freelance writer who loves history topics (and an enthusiastic public tv supporter). LOVE the programming from BPM, by the way. 14:07:46 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Ed Tech Innovations: Highlights from SXSW EDU 2025 Thursday, March 20, 2025. 1:00 PM ET Registration: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VufgIwFtS82mfnoAwYX5Wg 14:07:47 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Public media plays a vital role in education, but how can we stay ahead of emerging trends to better serve our communities? This year, our annual tech and culture trends recap takes an educational turn, focusing on insights from SXSW EDU —the international education conference shaping the future of learning. Join us for a dynamic conversation with Greg Rosenbaum, VP of Education at SXSW, as he shares key takeaways designed specifically for public media professionals. Discover how emerging trends create opportunities for your station to: Adopt innovative storytelling approaches that resonate with diverse audiences Implement accessibility features that expand your community reach Integrate arts and creativity into your educational content Leverage new technologies that align with public media's mission This webinar will equip you with fresh ideas and forward-thinking strategies to keep your station at the forefront of education and innovation in public media. 14:07:53 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Ed Tech Innovations: Highlights from SXSW EDU 2025 Thursday, March 20, 2025. 1:00 PM ET Registration: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VufgIwFtS82mfnoAwYX5Wg 14:08:08 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Thanks for the resources posted about disability; they’re all good, and I hope everyone will look to them for expanding knowledge and others will seek to create more resources. For anyone looking to encourage investment in disability, one recent data point I will share is, with less than 24 hours to mount production and market, an ASL interpreted and good captioned version of NewsHour election coverage live stream, the ASL interpreted live stream brought in a great deal of views that otherwise wouldn’t have tuning in to NewsHour. The non-interpreted (and I believe it was non or bad captions at the time) PBS NewsHour election feed: just over 137K views and for the ASL interpreted (with captions) feed: 1.3M (labeled a “fundraiser” at some point within the first hour); for most hours of the live stream the ASL version consistently had more views. 14:08:32 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Analysis finds most station boards fall short in reflecting community diversity By Tyler Falk, Reporter and Owen Auston-Babcock, Former Editorial Intern | February 17, 2025 Analysis finds most station boards fall short in reflecting community diversity By Tyler Falk, Reporter and Owen Auston-Babcock, Former Editorial Intern | February 17, 2025 Analysis finds most station boards fall short in reflecting community diversity By Tyler Falk, Reporter and Owen Auston-Babcock, Former Editorial Intern | February 17, 2025 14:08:48 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: https://current.org/2025/02/analysis-finds-most-station-boards-fall-short-in-reflecting-community-diversity/ 14:09:44 From Alexander Schumm to Everyone: FWIW, "the middle" is its own type of bias. 14:10:46 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: After George Floyd’s murder - “Why is public media so white?” https://current.org/2020/06/why-is-public-media-so-white/ 14:11:30 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: NPR’s Katherine Maher tackles big questions about public media’s role By Austin Fuller Austin Fuller, Reporter | August 19, 2024. https://current.org/2024/08/nprs-katherine-maher-tackles-big-questions-about-public-medias-role/ 14:12:02 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on PBS and NPR CEOs to testify. https://current.org/2025/02/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-on-pbs-and-npr-ceos-to-testify/ 14:12:32 From Kit Davis to Everyone: Josh, thank you for saying this plainly. 14:12:33 From Sway Steward to Everyone: 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 14:12:49 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: PBS closes DEI office, citing a Trump executive order. https://current.org/2025/02/pbs-closes-dei-office-citing-a-trump-executive-order/ 14:13:03 From McKayla Fox to Everyone: Working within those false dichotomies won't serve us when we aim to work outside the false narrative. We are not working along a single social/political line, we are exploring the actual social/political matrix of experience and creativity. 14:13:20 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Published today: LGBTQ history videos find new home after PBS pulls content due to Trump executive orders. https://current.org/2025/02/lgbtq-history-videos-find-new-home-after-pbs-pulls-content-due-to-trump-executive-orders/ 14:13:44 From Sway Steward to Everyone: +1 McKayla 14:13:45 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: Stations alter DEI statements in wake of Trump order, state laws. https://current.org/2025/02/stations-alter-dei-statements-in-wake-of-trump-order-state-laws/ 14:13:59 From Kit Davis to Everyone: Yes, this point: no matter how much withdrawal and attempts to modify happen, at its core the concept of public media is what is being attacked. 14:14:27 From Julie Drizin to Everyone: From 2022: (oy!).
