The Principles of Public Media define the essential value of Public Media to U.S. society, the unique role they play within the global media environment, and the ways their editorial integrity is assured. Editorial Transparency
A vast array of information sources, often tailored to reinforce particular viewpoints, can make our traditional values of truth and trust, seem passe. Can public media champion the resurgence of these values? Fundraising Transparency
The goal of this document is to provide station leaders, employees, Boards, and licensees with an overview of the issues related to transparency in public media fundraising and the best practices and existing policies that speak to those issues. |
Editorial principles are important to every public broadcasting licensee as they move forward into an evolving public media future. Our purpose is to renew these principles, so they may be reflected in our policies and demonstrated in our practices. We have drawn on working groups of media professionals to create discussion drafts aligned with important issues facing public media. Read more about this station led effort.
Editorial Integrity for Public Media is a joint initiative of the public broadcasting Affinity Group Coalition and the Station Resource Group. Organizational support is provided by the National Educational Telecommunications Association,
