Community impact is how we measure success

Report to the Community July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018 Detroit Educational Television Foundation Vision, Mission, Values

VISION A community in which people trust public media to help them discover new ideas, make informed decisions and enjoy enriched lives.

MISSION DPTV provides open access to trusted, balanced, and inspiring content and fosters essential, enriching conversations, in partnership with our diverse, multicultural community.

VALUES Trust Act with integrity to maintain and build the confidence placed in us by our community. Achievement Develop and maintain high standards of performance and strive for continuous improvement to meet or exceed expectations. Growth Advance our staff’s skills and our organization’s capabilities in order to best serve our community. Teamwork Combine the knowledge and skills of our employees and partners to build solutions, achieve goals and foster shared success. Creativity Demonstrate openness to new ideas and collaborations through experimentation and risk-taking. Service Listen, understand and respond, so that every person who interacts with DPTV finds value. Respect Honor the diverse perspectives and unique contributions of all individuals. Detroit Public Television Belongs to You

We mean that quite literally. Detroit Public Television is the only community-owned and licensed PBS station in Michigan; it is completely independent of any educational, government or other institution.

It belongs to our community in all its wonderful diversity, and all of us in the DPTV family – our viewers, supporters, board and employees – keep the trust you place in us firmly in mind in everything we do.

Each week more than two million people watch our four broadcast channels, and nearly 200,000 people listen to our radio station, WRCJ 90.9 FM, for classical days and jazzy nights. At the same time, our digital presence is also growing rapidly – we reach more than half a million unique visitors through our website, YouTube channels and social media platforms each month, and we’re personally connecting with tens of thousands in the community each year.

As a media organization, we are proud of our fine arts programming, environmental coverage, local journalism and the very best in educational content.

Of even greater importance, however, is the impact we have in our community: the connec- tions we have made throughout the city and the region, the authentic stories we tell, the platform we give to voices that are rarely heard in traditional media.

In this report, you will find inspiring stories about the lives we have touched in the community, – the 14-year-old musical prodigy who learned to love music by listening to your radio station or the Detroit pastor whose congregation received invaluable support after being featured on your public television station.

We want to thank the more than 70,000 donors, whose contributions – large and small – enable us to bring the stories of Detroit to life. It’s this broad base of support that makes it all possible.

We truly believe that Detroit is the most important city in America.

That’s why we always remember: We are Detroit’s public television station – and yours.
