By the People: America in the World is an initiative created by MacNeil/Lehrer
Productions to enhance the national conversation on important issues of
the day. Major funding for BTP is provided by the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation.
Additional funding comes from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting. BTP is nonpartisan and does not support any particular
policy, position or viewpoint. Its sole purpose is to encourage informed
dialogue.
MacNeil/Lehrer Productions produces The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer, which
airs weeknights on more than 300 local PBS stations, as well as other
programs for public, commercial and cable television. MLP produced complete
broadcast coverage of the 2004 Democratic and Republican national conventions
for PBS. Other recent television programs produced by MLP include Debating
Our Destiny: A History of Presidential Debate; LadyBird, a profile
of LadyBird Johnson; and Do You Speak American?, hosted
by Robert MacNeil.
