The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) grants awarded to support public media stations and regional news collaborations include grants to NJ PBS and WLIW. The grand for NJ PBS’s newsroom, NJ Spotlight News will support its partnership with the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair University and other newsrooms in the Garden State to build a “central destination” for state government news. It will be supported by reporting and a weekly video program. WLIW will be part of the WNYC-led New York Public News Network, a collaboration of 12 public media stations that will hire a full-time reporter to cover how state government policies affect New Yorkers. Other partner stations include WAMC (Albany), WBFO (Buffalo), WXXI (Rochester), and more.
CPB announced a grant support of $2.65 million to increase and strengthen state government coverage provided by public media in Colorado, Florida, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina. The coverage generated will be shared with public media stations as well as other media organizations across the states. https://lnkd.in/e8pjFsgi
