STOVER AND GEORGE L. MILES, JR. Fiscal Year 2008 at WQED was another strong year in the illustrious history of this community resource. Programmatically, organizationally, technically and financially WQED is in an enviable position as it builds on its successes and serves the community in accordance with its mission. The national economy lapsed into a severe recession by September 2008 and brought challenges to WQED. Thanks to the foresight of the Board of Directors and WQED management, “hunker down” policies were put in place beginning in April 2008 to meet those challenges from a position of strength. WQED’s fiscal house was in order prior to the recession and staff was able to weather the downturn through the end of the 2008 fiscal year. No one can predict what the economic news will be in Fiscal year 2009. One hopes that the crisis stabilizes and that the economy will begin to move in a positive direction. WQED is in a strong position to weather the storm by staying true to its roots of frugality. The company went through a far deeper crisis in its financial life fifteen years ago and came through stronger than it had ever been. We see no reason to expect anything different through this economic storm. Even in the face of an economic downturn, the amount of work produced and distributed by WQED was truly astounding this year. No other media company in this region—and very few around the country—produce the quantity and the quality of programming that WQED produces. From television and radio to publishing and interactive, WQED touches the community, informs people, teaches children and families, and truly changes lives. This success would not be possible without the leadership of the WQED Board of Directors, the input provided by the Community Advisory Board (CAB), and the wisdom of the WQED Honor Board and Trustees Emeriti. Thank you. And a special thanks to the staff of WQED who make it all possible by contributing their talents, their creativity, and their devotion to this half-century experiment called public broadcasting. It’s a life-changing experience. Yours in progress, Richard L. Stover George L. Miles, Jr. Chair, Board of Directors President and CEO WQED MULTIMEDIA 1 *** POST PRE Annual Report 2008 CHANGES 3/27/09 10:54 AM Page 2 STRENGTH IN LOCAL AND NATIONAL PRODUCTION WQED’s strength in local and national production surpasses Pennsylvania Public Television Network (PPTN) Programs most other PBS stations.

WQED’s track record of programming with incredible impact was demonstrated this year by Fly Boys: Western Pennsylvania’s Tuskegee Airmen, produced by Chris Moore and co-produced by Olga George. The special premiered in February and was simulstreamed on WQED Interactive to a worldwide audience.

  • President's Report to the Board
    President’s Report to the Board Deborah L. Acklin April 8, 2021 Introduction Spring is finally here (for the most part). We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel with the pandemic, and people are feeling more confident and safe. We deserve good news and optimism after the “Year of COVID.” We’re looking back and reassessing how much life has changed from “before COVID” to life that returns to “normal,” whatever that may be. I hope we emerge stronger and better prepared, that we appreciate loved ones more, and that we can improve society based on our experiences of the last year. I am so proud to say that WQED did not miss a beat. We didn’t know what would happen when we started remote operations, but it’s gratifying to know that we had a plan that worked. We expanded our educational options across the board, we solidified a statewide cooperative of all public media stations, and we entered into an agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the datacasting project. We produced broadcast and online content that helped people get through the pandemic. And WQED-FM remained an oasis for people working from home, taking care of children or elderly relatives, and otherwise having their lives upended. I am proud of every member of this staff, all of who stepped up to keep WQED going through very tough times. Thank you to the entire Board of Directors and CAB, who guided us through the year.

  • 'Hoods: Place Branding and the Reconstruction of Identity in Rick Sebak's Pittsburgh Documentaries
    HOUSES, HOT DOGS, AND 'HOODS: PLACE BRANDING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN RICK SEBAK'S PITTSBURGH DOCUMENTARIES Bryan James McGeary A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Scott Magelssen © 2012 Bryan James McGeary All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This project investigates the implementation of place branding theory via documentary filmmaking focused closely on the local characteristics of a place/region. Employing a close reading of WQED filmmaker Rick Sebak’s Pittsburgh History Series focused upon recurrent themes about aspects of Pittsburgh’s unique identity framed in relation to rhetorical approach and documentary techniques, while also noting aspects left out of Sebak’s films, this dissertation demonstrates the progressive potential of publicly funded documentary filmmaking to enable the residents of a given place to rebrand their identity and foster revitalization, independent of the expectations of city planners or corporate sponsors, and without sacrificing the diversity of experiences that give that place its unique character. As a whole, Sebak’s body of work constructs a particular narrative of Western Pennsylvania’s identity that revamps some of the preexisting notions about that identity. As a project of self-definition and self-understanding, the Pittsburgh History Series provides the local populace with some agency in recreating its image, rather than being branded from the outside. The success of this place branding approach to documentary filmmaking for Sebak and Western Pennsylvania suggests that other cities and regions could use it as a model to take greater control of their identities and cultivate renewal.
