This multiplatform morning news program will strengthen its potential as a transformative force for public media. During this one-year grant, The Takeway—produced by WNYC and PRI with production partners WGBH, The New York Times, and the BBC—will expand its reach in the western United States by providing unprecedented morning news service to audiences in the western time zones. This expansion will further diversify the content and perspectives heard throughout the show’s national broadcast. In addition, The Takeaway will add video capacity in its studios and make the live broadcast of the show available to public television stations through the WGBH World channel. Lastly, the show will use crowdsourcing and social media tools to attract the next generation of diverse content contributors.
