Minority Report to Congress Consultant

Request for Proposals

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is seeking a consultant (Consultant) to assist in the creation of several Congressional reports. The first report is CPB's annual report on the provision of services to minority and diverse audiences by public broadcasting and public telecommunications entities (Minority Report). The Minority Report must include creative design elements and custom designed graphics. The Minority Report covers the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, and a hard copy of the report must be ready for delivery to Congress no later than October 3, 2012.

For the second report, Consultant will interview between five (5) and ten (10) key minority leaders and, based on those interviews, create an assessment which identifies the current needs of minority public broadcasting audiences (Assessment Report). CPB's goal is to provide a hard copy of the Assessment Report to Congress no later than November 16, 2012.

Finally, Consultant will combine the Minority and Assessment Reports into a single comprehensive report (Final Report). The objective in creating the Final Report is to develop a creative and innovative style document for distribution over traditional and various non-traditional platforms, e.g. via email and CPB's website. The Final Report must be completed no later than November 16, 2012.
