An investment in the future leadership of public media, this training initiative will further CPB’s strategic plan to cultivate a diverse public media workforce. Funding will support the 10th annual professional development workshop for young national producers of public media content and will expand the number of participants from 20 to 25, with five fellows selected by members of the national minority consortia. Funding will also support a new social media initiative to highlight the diverse workshop community as a talent source for hiring. The project also includes metrics to evaluate success.
