Establishing a powerful PBS flagship organization on the West Coast, the historic union of these two storied institutions creates the opportunity to produce more original programs for multiple channels and platforms that address the diverse community in Southern California and the nation, and innovate new community engagement experiences that educate, inform, entertain, and empower. KCET Board of Directors Chairman Dick Cook will serve as Board Chair, and PBS SoCal President and CEO Andrew Russell will be President and CEO of the new entity, which will be governed by a 32-person Board of Trustees composed of the 14 members from each of the boards of KCETLink and PBS SoCal, as well as four new Board appointees.

The 80-year-old artist was born in Sacramento, California, raised in Hiroshima, Japan, traveled to the U.S. and even cooked for artist Jackson Pollock. But by 2001, Mirikitani was homeless, living on the streets of New York City. As tourists and shoppers hurried past, Mirikitani sat alone on a windy corner in New York’s SoHo, drawing pictures of whimsical cats, bleak internment camps and the angry red flames of the atomic bomb. When local filmmaker Linda Hattendorf stopped to ask about his art, a friendship—detailed in THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI—began that changed both their lives. THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI will have its television premiere on the Emmy® Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Terrence Howard, on Tuesday, May 8 at 10:30 PM (check local listings). In sunshine, rain and snow, Hattendorf returned to document Mirikitani’s drawings, trying to decipher the stories behind them.

    DISCUSSION GUIDE How does the simple act of planting trees lead to winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Ask Wangari Maathai of Kenya. In 1977, she suggested rural women plant trees to address problems stemming from a degraded environment.

  • Analysis of the Independent Television Service's Documentaries, 2007–2016
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 1541–1568 1932–8036/20180005 American Realities on Public Television: Analysis of the Independent Television Service’s Documentaries, 2007–2016 CATY BORUM CHATTOO1 PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE MICHELE ALEXANDER CHANDLER GREEN American University, USA Fifty years after the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act, this study examines the way in which TV documentaries produced by the Independent Television Service (ITVS)—the largest public funder and coproducer of independent documentaries in the U.S. public broadcasting system—represent the America they are mandated to portray. The study examines the geographic, demographic, and topical diversity of ITVS documentaries against U.S. Census and polling data. Using quantitative content analysis of ITVS film archival data, this study of a decade (2007–16) of U.S. public television documentaries (N = 342) shows that the representation of American realities on public TV broadly reflects U.S. Census demographics and Americans’ social concerns, as reflected in a decade (2007–16) of aggregated Gallup monthly “Most Important Problem [Facing the Country Today]” poll data. ITVS-funded filmmakers are disproportionately female and diverse, and they come from 33 states and the District of Columbia. Films portray life in all quadrants of the United States, in both rural and urban communities. These public TV documentaries represent a geographically, racially, and ethnically diverse America.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Randall Cole, 415.356.8383, ext 254 [email protected] THREE ITVS FILMS GARNER 2007 PEABODY AWARDS —First-time Wins for Independent Lens series and ITVS International Program— —67th Annual Awards Ceremony to Take Place on June 16, 2008— (San Francisco)—The Independent Television Service (ITVS) announced today that three of its acclaimed films are among the winners of the George Foster Peabody Awards for 2007. The Peabody Awards are the oldest and one of the most prestigious honors in electronic media. The three films being honored this year bring the grand total of ITVS Peabody Awards to 12 since opening its doors 17 years ago. BILLY STRAYHORN: LUSH LIFE and SISTERS IN LAW, both of which aired on the Emmy Award- winning PBS series Independent Lens, and the PBS mini-series CRAFT IN AMERICA: Memory, Landscape and Community were chosen to be among the 35 programs honored with this year’s Peabody Awards. In addition, this year marks the first award to a production funded through ITVS International’s Global Perspectives Project, (SISTERS IN LAW) and the first Peabodys for programs broadcast on Independent Lens. The Peabody website describes CRAFT IN AMERICA as a “three-hour chronicle of America’s rich, ongoing traditions of weaving, quilting, woodworking and other craft art…carefully wrought and as beautifully shot as its subject matter.” In describing BILLY STRAYHORN: LUSH LIFE, the website lauds: “Along with celebrating the work of the often overlooked arranger and composer who was crucial to Duke Ellington’s sound and success, the documentary sensitively explored the homophobia that kept Strayhorn in the shadows.” And finally in praise of SISTERS IN LAW: “…makes viewers flies on the wall of a small-town courthouse in Cameroon overseen by two dynamic, wisecracking, larger-than-life sisters who are helping women stand up to abuse.” The awards will be presented on June 16th at a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
