The Future of Public Media presented by AZPM

The Future of Public Media presented by AZPM

Join us for an enlightening discussion about public media as stations like AZPM adapt to a future without federal funding.

Hear from AZPM CEO Jack Gibson; AZPM Radio Program Director Nicole Cox; Arizona Illustrated host Tom McNamara; AZPM classical music director and weekday morning announcer James Reel; and AZPM Chief Original Content Officer Bohdan Zachary.

Together, they will discuss how AZPM — along with public media organizations nationwide — is adapting to a broadcasting landscape without federal funding. Even amid these challenges, AZPM continues to strengthen its commitment to local journalism and community service by:

• Expanding its award-winning news team as other media outlets face downsizing
• Broadcasting trusted programming on NPR 89.1 along with expertly curated playlists on Classical 90.5 and 24/7 streaming on Jazz 89.1 HD2
• Featuring content from partners including PBS, BBC, American Public Television and others.
• Continuing to produce local originals such as Arizona Illustrated, Arizona Spotlight, Arizona Science, and Navigating Our Financial Times, plus a new series that celebrates creativity across public media, State of the Arts.

We hope you’ll join us for this important and engaging discussion!
