We believe
Strong, financially sustainable public media is not optional. It is part of the infrastructure of an informed democracy, and the leaders we recruit are part of how it endures.
Innovation and inclusion drive the strongest organizations we serve. Every search we run is designed to produce a candidate pool that reflects the communities a station is licensed to serve.
