Public Media Corps (PMC)

As innovative technologies embrace our society, encouraging and strengthening civic participation, conversation, and interaction through web-based also mobile applications and social networks, great concern exists regarding the accessibility to credible and up-to-date information amongst communities of color – Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander, African American, and Asian American – as well as low income and senior citizens. PMC is a new national service that proposes to promote and extend broadband adoption in underserved communities by placing Fellows skilled in technology, media production, and outreach in residencies at under-performing high schools, public broadcast stations, and non-profit community anchor institutions.
