Putting the Public Back in Public Media

Event Interactive 2011
Format Panel
Organizer Andy Carvin – NPR
Description Think NPR and PBS are just broadcasters? Think again. Public media is no longer just a one-way street. In many towns, NPR and PBS stations are the only locally-owned media organizations, and their mission to serve the public demands that they develop new ways of engaging and strengthening those communities.   They're convening Barcamp-like unconferences called PubCamps all over the country, allowing local techies and citizen journalists to forge collaborative projects with NPR and PBS stations, both online and offline. Coders participate in public media apps contests, creating social software for communities that otherwise lack the capacity to develop it on their own.   Public media engages communities in new ways that go beyond those annual pledge drives, challenging them to work together for the common good. They're putting the public back in public media - right where it should be. This ain't your father's public broadcasting. Come learn how people are plugging into public media - and how you can get involved.
