PBS AMERICA PORTRAIT
PBS AMERICAN PORTRAIT, a national storytelling project aligned with PBS’s 50th anniversary celebration, is the organization’s most ambitious multi-platform project in its history.
A digital-first initiative produced by RadicalMedia, PBS AMERICAN PORTRAIT captures expressions of American life and struggle, as it is happening, through the eyes of diverse voices that make up this country. In these stories, we witness people across America as they celebrate traditions, value work, faith and family and as they face the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic and come together against police brutality and racial injustices. Throughout the year, their stories have inspired social, digital and classroom content and engagement, a PBS Digital Studios miniseries, public art installations, virtual events in communities across America, three nationally televised broadcast specials and in January 2021, a four-part documentary series on PBS stations.
Today’s panelist include:
Craig D’Entrone, multiplatform showrunner, RadicalMedia
Michele Stephenson, series producer, RadicalMedia
And Bill Margol, executive in charge & senior director, General Audience Programming & Development, PBS
