DEI Update from Nine PBS

We reached out to Amy Shaw, President & CEO, for an update on how the DEI work at Nine PBS has been progressing since joining Public Media for All. She offered the following.

What’s one DEI success you’ve had at your organization recently?
We’ve expanded the voices we have on our air for breaks and station announcements to represent more authentic voices from our community.

What’s one lesson you’ve learned about DEI work at your organization?
For some people, we’re moving too fast and for others, we’re moving too slow. In any case, we have to have a steady drumbeat of this work in order to see any real change.

What resources and support does you need to improve DEI at your organization?
Best practices from other organizations, how to address some of the common obstacles that arise, how to stay focused and consistent amid tumultuous times.

Public Media for All will be working with the leaders of organizations that have joined us to model successes, share lessons learned, and get the support and resources they need to do this vital DEI work to ensure that public media serves everyone.
