Public broadcasters at this Lab are ahead of the curve in creating local relevance and significance for their communities.
WDET's "Detroit Today" solicits audio essays of stories, memories and experiences from ordinary people. In April, students at Wayne State University responded to Dr. David Suzuki's talk on the economy and environment.
Is the Big Apple just too big to be locally relevant?
WNYC has the largest public radio audience in the United States - maybe because it matters to so many people. WNYC's Public Insight Network recruits the public as partners, and Radio Rookies provides New York teenagers the tools and training to create radio stories about themselves, their communities and their world. Listen to their voices.
These are great models for the next generation of Durango's media facilities - the Education Access TV Channel and the new Rocky Mountain PBS-DCAT facilities coming to Fort Lewis College in 2011.
