Here it is: our long-awaited white paper, Public Media 2.0: Dynamic, Engaged Publics. Co-authored by Future of Public Media Project director Jessica Clark and Center for Social Media director Pat Aufderheide, this report offers an expanded vision for public media: multiplatform, participatory, and centered around informing and mobilizing networks of engaged users.

What I Learned at Public Media Camp: Diversity and the Elusive Public Media 2.0 Butterfly
Christian Ugbode
It takes a while for over two-hundred people to introduce themselves individually. As names and affiliations are called out on a floating microphone at NPR and PBS’ Public Media Camp/”unconference” October 17th in Washington DC, I ponder why I am in this room. Probably because I never wanted to be Quentin Tarantino in film school. Or Martin Scorcese like every third NYU student. I gravitated to public media by chance but have loved every step of my evolution via the National Black Programming Consortium, and nowadays public media’s untapped potential keeps me restless.
