Minority Service Hindered
By 'Old Perceptions' of CPB, Consortia
Reprinted with permission from Current Magazine (April 11, 2016 | Vol. 35, No. 5)
Consultants to the Corporation for Public Broacasting (CPB) are recommending a reset in the corporation's relationship with the National Minority Consortia (NMC), which CPB funds to support public TV content by and about underserved audiences. Unless CPB and the consortia overcome their "old perceptions and patterns of behavior," the impact of the consortia's work with diverse producers and communities "will be stunted," according to the report.
"If collaboration is defined as working with another party to create or produce something together, then the relationship between CPB and NMC does not pass that test," the evaluation noted.
