P.O.V. Interactive, P.O.V.'s award-winning Web department, creates a website for every P.O.V. presentation. Our websites extend the life of P.O.V. films through community-based and educational applications, focusing on involving viewers in activities, information and feedback on the issues. In addition, our website houses our unique Talking Back feature, filmmaker and viewer resources, and information on the P.O.V. archives as well as a myriad of special sites for previous P.O.V. broadcasts. P.O.V. also produces special sites for hire, specializing in working closely with independent filmmakers on integrating their content with their interactive goals.

P.O.V.'s Diverse Voices Project (DVP) extends the reach and impact of nonfiction programs that focus on minority themes and are produced by emerging filmmakers who have not had a national PBS producing/directing credit. DVP is made possible by the support of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

P.O.V. Engagement Campaigns extend the impact of P.O.V. programming by working with public television stations and national and community-based organizations to facilitate local dialogues and foster engagement around the specific issues presented in our films. In the process, thousands see our films in community settings as we work to trigger on-going local partnerships, build new audiences and expand the role of independent media in public life.

P.O.V's Talking Back challenges the notion of television as a passive medium by presenting the viewers' 'p.o.v.' on our programs. Through broadcast and the Internet, Talking Back features viewers speaking their minds. They are as engaged in the issues as our filmmakers, and every year P.O.V. solicits and presents a wide range of responses to our programs. Completing the broadcast loop, Talking Back has significantly expanded every year as more viewers take the time to respond to our films on-line, with videos, through their local PTV stations, by phone or through letters.

P.O.V.'s Youth Views moves off the TV screen and into the hands of our newest audience; teenagers. No matter the subject, P.O.V. has presented a film that explores the issue in depth. Focusing on youth organizers and activists working around specific issues, YV is a pilot program aimed at training youth in media literacy and facilitations skills. YV selects films from P.O.V.'s archives, creates in-depth facilitations materials and makes them available for peer-led screenings and discussions nationally.
