An Introduction to PMI – Public Media Infrastructure

Wednesday, March 25 – 3:00 pm ET/Noon PT

Since the announcement last fall of the formation of Public Media Infrastructure, many questions have been asked about its role, its services and its benefits to public media organizations. Public Media Infrastructure (PMI) is a nonprofit coalition formed by five leading public media organizations through a five-year grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Its goal is to steward modern tools for content distribution, audience measurement, and revenue generation to support more than 1,300 public media stations serving communities nationwide. As PMI takes shape, we’re learning more about what it will offer in the months and years ahead. Join us for an introduction to PMI and learn about this new venture and how it will benefit your station and all of public media.

Content and programming professionals from across the country get together regularly to spend time with their peers and talk about their shared challenges and solutions. Virtual cohort meetups for News/Talk and Classical programmers are scheduled monthly with other groups meeting less frequently. Don’t work alone, find a cohort group to build up your professional network.
