R&D: CPB Civic Content and Engagement Initiative

CPB seeks to engage a public media station to lead, research and develop a civic content and engagement initiative, expected to unfold over two phases across two years, beginning with Phase I for an 8-month term. This project will inform a national, multi-station initiative that will amplify stories of individual Americans contributing to their communities.

Coming Home: Connecting to Community

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”), is supporting a new public media initiative, Coming Home: Connecting to Community, to increase and promote authentic local storytelling through multi-platform media (original television, radio and digital-first) and engagement that develops and delivers a renewed narrative about life in rural America. New multi-platform content, created by local stations with local voices and talent, will celebrate the diversity, culture, traditions, and richness of small-town America, not being told by commercial media.
