PARTNERSHIPS FOR INDIGENOUS CLIMATE JOURNALISM -ALTHOUGH INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES ARE AMONG THE HARDEST HIT BY THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, NATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE OF HOW THESE COMMUNITIES ARE USING TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY DONE FROM NON-INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE. IN A UNIQUE COLLABORATION BETWEEN PBS NEWSHOUR AND INDIJ PUBLIC MEDIA (THE PARENT COMPANY OF ICT, FORMERLY KNOWN AS INDIAN COUNTRY TODAY), THIS PROJECT WILL PUT THE PERSPECTIVES AND THE REPORTING OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES FRONT AND CENTER THROUGH THEIR CO-CREATION OF DIGITAL AND BROADCAST SEGMENTS. THIS WORK WILL APPEAR ON THE NEWSHOUR'S NIGHTLY BROADCAST AND IN THE WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA SPACES OF BOTH ICT AND THE NEWSHOUR. THIS PROJECT ALSO WILL CREATE THE FIRST INDIGENOUS CLIMATE REPORTING DESK IN THE US WITHIN AN INDIGENOUS-LED NEWSROOM. IT WILL ALLOW INDIGENOUS JOURNALISTS TO CHALLENGE EXISTING NARRATIVES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACT ON INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, REPLACING A NARRATIVE OF LOSS WITH ONE THAT IS ROOTED IN LIVED EXPERIENCE AND MUCH RICHER AND REFLECTIVE OF MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. THE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH LED BY KNOLOGY WILL EXAMINE WHAT DIFFERENT PUBLICS (INDIGENOUS AND NON-INDIGENOUS) KNOW ABOUT (1) CLIMATE PROBLEMS (THE DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS ON DIFFERENT PLACES AND PEOPLES), (2) CLIMATE PROBLEM-SOLVERS (THE DIFFERENT PEOPLES WHO OFFER THEIR EXPERTISE ON SOLVING CLIMATE PROBLEMS), AND (3) CLIMATE SOLUTIONS (DIFFERENT INTERVENTIONS FOR PREVENTING, MITIGATING, OR REVERSING THOSE EFFECTS). ONE OF THE PROJECT'S KEY GOALS IS TO INTERRUPT NEGATIVE SOCIAL STEREOTYPES WHICH CAN HINDER PROGRESS ON IMPORTANT ISSUES SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE. BY UNCOVERING THE CULTURALLY DOMINANT AS WELL AS INDIGENOUS UNDERSTANDINGS OF CLIMATE SCIENCE, CLIMATE REPORTING CAN BE CRAFTED TO OPEN PUBLICS' EYES TO A GREATER RANGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS. THE TEAM WILL APPLY THE SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC FRAMEWORK OF MORAL MOTIVES (JANOFF-BULMAN & CARNES, 2018), WHICH REFERS TO THE BASIC HUMAN NEED TO PROTECT AND NURTURE OTHERS. THE TEAM WILL USE THIS FRAMEWORK TO SYSTEMATICALLY STUDY AND EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT WAYS OF FRAMING CLIMATE JOURNALISM THROUGH THREE PHASES: PHASE 1 FOCUSES ON ANALYZING EXISTING NEWS REPORTS TO REVEAL HOW CLIMATE ENGINEERING IS COVERED BY CONTEMPORARY JOURNALISM. PHASE 2 WILL REVEAL THE STEREOTYPED KNOWLEDGE SHARED WITHIN BOTH INDIGENOUS AND NON-INDIGENOUS PUBLICS ON THREE TOPICS: CLIMATE PROBLEMS, PROBLEM-SOLVERS, AND THE SOLUTIONS THAT FLOW FROM THESE FRAMINGS. PHASE 3 WILL DEPLOY EXPERIMENTAL INTERVENTIONS TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT REPORTING STRATEGIES FOR HELPING PUBLIC AUDIENCES SEE BEYOND THEIR STEREOTYPES, AND TO EXPAND THEIR STEM VOCABULARIES AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF PATHS TO CLIMATE EMPOWERMENT. THE RESEARCH PROCESS IS FULLY PARTICIPATORY, WITH JOURNALISTS INVOLVED IN RESEARCH DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION AT ALL STAGES, AND CROSS-POLLINATION AMONG ALL TEAMS THROUGH A REGULAR SERIES OF FOCUSED MEETINGS. THIS RESEARCH IN SUPPORT OF WIDE-REACHING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH STEM PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT: (A) CONTRIBUTE TO RESEARCH AND PRACTICE THAT CONSIDERS INFORMAL STEM LEARNING'S ROLE IN EQUITY AND BELONGING IN STEM; (B) PROMOTE PERSONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS IN STEM; (C) ADVANCE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY; (D) FOSTER INTEREST IN STEM CAREERS; (E) CREATE AND ENHANCE THE THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE INFORMAL STEM LEARNING; (F) IMPROVE COMMUNITY VIBRANCY; AND/OR (G) ENHANCE SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND THE PUBLIC'S ENGAGEMENT IN AND UNDERSTANDING OF STEM AND STEM PROCESSES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

WETA CORE FACILITIES UPGRADE [WETA, THE FLAGSHIP PUBLIC TELEVISION AND RADIO STATION IN THE NATION?S CAPITAL, IS CONSOLIDATING ITS OPERATIONS, INCLUDING THE PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR PBS NEWSHOUR AND LOCAL TELEVISION PROGRAMS, AT ITS SHIRLINGTON, VA HEADQUARTERS. AS WETA RENOVATES ITS HEADQUARTERS TO INCLUDE NEW STUDIO AND PRODUCTION SPACE, IT WILL UPGRADE ITS PRODUCTION FACILITY CORE SYSTEMS TO SUSTAIN ITS HIGH-QUALITY HUMANITIES PROGRAMMING THAT REACHES BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL AUDIENCES. THIS UPGRADE WILL REPLACE SYSTEMS THAT ARE NEARING THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE AND HAVE BECOME COSTLY TO MAINTAIN. AN NEH CHALLENGE GRANT WILL LEVERAGE CRITICAL FUNDS TO INVEST IN THESE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND ENHANCE PBS NEWSHOUR, WHICH INCLUDES HUMANITIES CONTENT THROUGHOUT ITS REPORTING AND IN SERIES LIKE CANVAS; DIGITAL PROJECTS LIKE WETA?S BOUNDARY STONES BLOG; AND LOCAL PRODUCTIONS LIKE WASHINGTON IN THE 2000S, WETA ARTS, AND LOCAL EXTENSIONS OF NATIONAL PRODUCTIONS.]

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA [CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA IS THE FIRST DOCUMENTARY EVER TO OFFER A TRULY COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE AMERICAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM FROM ITS ORIGINS IN THE COLONIAL ERA TO PRESENT DAY MASS INCARCERATION. IT IS AN EIGHT-HOUR, EIGHT-EPISODE PBS DOCUMENTARY FILM SERIES, CREATED BY A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE TEAM LED BY ACCLAIMED FILMMAKER LYNN NOVICK, AND ADVISED BY THE LEADING SCHOLARS IN THE FIELD. IT IS SLATED FOR NATIONAL PRIMETIME PREMIERE ON PBS IN 2026, THE YEAR WE WILL MARK AND REFLECT UPON THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR NATION?S FOUNDING. SEEKING TO ANSWER THE SEEMINGLY SIMPLE QUESTION, ?HOW DID WE GET HERE?,? THIS SERIES WILL INFORM, EDUCATE AND ENGAGE AUDIENCES WITH AN EXPANSIVE AND ORIGINAL NEW TELLING OF 400 YEARS OF AMERICAN HISTORY THROUGH THE LENS OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.]

PBS NEWSHOUR STEM STORYMAKER: PROJECT-BASED LEARNING FOR YOUTH HEALTH LITERACY AND BIOMEDICAL CAREER AWARENESS THROUGH JOURNALISM AND STORYTELLING - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THE NEED FOR HEALTH LITERACY AND A DIVERSE, SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS HEALTH WORKFORCE IS MORE EVIDENT THAN EVER AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS NAVIGATING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, AND GROWING MENTAL HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CRISES. THIS PROPOSAL FROM PBS NEWSHOUR STUDENT REPORTING LABS (SRL), A TEEN-DRIVEN PROGRAM FROM THE NATION’S MOST TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE, BUILDS FROM THE SUCCESSES OF PREVIOUS SEPA WORK TO PROVIDE HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH WITH: 1.) TOOLS TO CREATE EVIDENCE-BASED AND ETHICALLY RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM (PRIMARILY 1-4 MINUTE VIDEOS) ABOUT CRITICAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT IMPACT THEIR COMMUNITIES; 2.) INTRODUCTIONS AND INROADS TO HEALTH SCIENCE CAREERS THAT USE STORYTELLING TO ENGAGE A DIVERSE RANGE OF STUDENTS; AND 3.) STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AROUND HEALTH SCIENCE, INCLUDING INTERGENERATIONAL DIALOGUE AND SOCIAL MEDIA BEST-PRACTICES, FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE INITIATIVE WILL PROVIDE A STRONG FOUNDATION OF SUPPORT FOR TEENS, EDUCATORS, AND OTHER SEPA PROGRAM LEADERS TO PRODUCE HIGH-QUALITY CONTENT DISTRIBUTED TO PEERS THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE STUDENT JOURNALISM NETWORK, ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORMS, AND TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL BROADCASTING. A PREVIOUS SEPA SUMMATIVE EVALUATION LARGELY SERVES AS THE FRONT-END EVALUATION FOR THIS PROPOSED PROJECT. RESEARCHERS AT KNOLOGY WILL USE YEAR 1 TO UPDATE ALL EVALUATION INSTRUMENTS AND CREATE A MIXED-METHODS EVALUATION WITH STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS IN YEARS 2-4 OF THE GRANT FOR BOTH FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE PURPOSES. FINDINGS WILL MEASURE THE IMPACT ON PROGRAMS AND PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING OTHER SEPA PROJECTS, AND RESULT IN A MAP OF THE FULL ECOSYSTEM OF HEALTH LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES CREATED DURING THE GRANT PERIOD AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS, INCLUDING STUDENT-CREATED STORIES, HEALTH PRACTITIONER PROFILES, LESSON PLANS AND OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. STUDENT-PRODUCED VIDEOS WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH EXPERTLY- CRAFTED EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES DISTRIBUTED TO A WIDE NATIONAL AUDIENCE OF TEACHERS, FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATORS, AND STEM PROGRAM LEADERS. THROUGH THESE ELEMENTS – STUDENT HEALTH JOURNALISM, HEALTH SCIENCE CAREER CONTENT, AND STORYTELLING STRATEGIES FOR SCIENCE COMMUNICATION – THE PROJECT WILL DRIVE ENGAGEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING AROUND HEALTH SCIENCE AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN YOUNG PEOPLE TO SUPPORT AN INFORMED, INQUISITIVE, AND INVOLVED CITIZENRY.
