Election 2008 Initiative

CPB seeks to fund a public media demonstration project focusing on the 2008 elections. The successful project will be national in scope and will embrace cross platform approaches to provide content, tools and interactive experiences that will result in a more informed, engaged electorate.

The Election 2008 Initiative has been inspired by several distinct but overlapping activities and perceived needs within the public broadcasting community:

  • We want to fully exploit the opportunities offered by the 2008 elections.
  • We want to build on a new spirit of collaboration.
  • We want public broadcasting to reach audiences where they live.
  • We want to more deeply engage existing audiences.
