By the People Broadcasts Showcase Citizen Discussion
 As
a way of modeling civic dialogue and extending the reach of our project, By the
People has inspired five national and more than 100 local broadcasts since its
beginnings in 2002. National broadcasts are produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions.
These programs have been anchored by Jim Lehrer and other senior correspondents
from The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Local broadcasts of By the People citizen deliberations
demonstrate the wide-ranging programming creativity of our PBS station partners. PBS
