About Us
Preserving Democracy is a unique multi-platform initiative from The WNET Group covering what is perhaps the most critical national issue of our time. The initiative supports, coordinates, and disseminates innovative reporting from public media across all platforms on a national level, tracking efforts both to limit and to protect voter participation at all levels of government.
Preserving Democracy aims to facilitate an unprecedented level of collaboration and partnership among PBS programs and platforms, and perhaps most importantly, to build collaboration, capacity and infrastructure among member stations to facilitate local reporting, encourage local engagement across the political spectrum and stimulate dialogue among diverse voices.
The WNET Group’s Preserving Democracy, a public media initiative, receives principal support from The Chang K. Park Foundation.
