Election 2020: Listening to America

This grant supports an 18-month, station-led local/regional Initiative around Election 2020 that spans the country. The initiative (renamed America Amplified) partners with public media journalism collaborations such as the CPB-funded Regional Journalism Collaborations as well as local stations that provide the following: broad coverage and geographic diversity; capacity to include underrepresented local voices from unexpected corners of the country through listening engagement events; and a blueprint for how journalism collaborators can activate public media's network of reporters and editors to provide the connections between local listeners and viewers with national public media producers.
