FEBRUARY 2021 PROGRAM GUIDE Your WTVP Program Guide, a Benefi T of Membership BLACK HISTORY PROGRAMMING NEW BRITISH COMEDIES BEYOND THE ELEMENTS EUROPE'S NEW WILD FEBRUARY 2021 PROGRAM GUIDE Your WTVP Program Guide, a Benefi t of Membership. Thank you! 2 2 NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS JUST THE BEGINNING February is Black History Month, 28 days set aside to celebrate the signifi cant contributions of African Americans to the fabric of American life in business, government, art, science, education and more. Rather than implying that Black Americans should only be recognized for one month, the February focus is meant to heighten awareness and challenge us all to continue exploring and learning throughout the year. WTVP and PBS are all about helping people learn something new every day. Our deep commitment to equality and inclusion is refl ected in the rich diversity of the communities we serve and the award-winning content we offer daily. You will fi nd some of that content, like The Black Church: This is Our Story. This is Our Song. concentrated in this month, but you can see images and voices of Black Americans on WTVP every day. From the trusted coverage of PBS NewsHour and the insights of LESLEY MATUSZAK Finding Your Roots, to the multicultural residents of Sesame Street and the local voices WTVP President and CEO on Consider This, At Issue and the Our Remarkable Local History series, WTVP attempts to explore all of the perspectives that make up the American experience. So by all means, tune in to WTVP during February and explore the special Black History Month programming. But don’t let it end there. There are 337 more days in the year to learn from, appreciate and honor the contributions of Black Americans and all Americans to our collective history and culture. Consider This with Yvonne Greer is a talk show produced by WTVP featuring the people in our community in a whole new way. The intent is to connect with our leaders, entertainers and maybe even our neighbors in ways we may have never considered. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 7:30 PM Brianna Thomas sings all over the world, but her musical journey began in her Peoria living room. Being born to musician C.J. Thomas meant early exposure to a variety of genres for Brianna. She joined his band, Dave and the Dynamics, when she was just six years old! Learn how she was able to musically convey her feelings at such a young age, why jazz is so important to her and what impact her Peoria teachers had in her becoming a performer, arranger and composer. Watch some of your favorites on WTVP Passport. 3 on the COVER THE BLACK CHURCH: THIS IS OUR STORY. THIS IS OUR SONG. The history of the Black church in America comes to life in a moving four-hour series from Finding Your Roots host, Henry Louis Gates Jr. The centerpiece of Black History Month on WTVP, The Black Church: This is Our Story. This is Our Song. reveals how African Americans have worshipped and found ways to bring their faith traditions from Africa to the New World. For many, the Black church is simply a house of worship. For some, it is ground zero for social justice. For others, it is a place of cultural gifts exported to the world, from the soulful voices of preachers and congregants, to the sublime sounds of gospel music. Discover the broad history and culture of the Black church and explore African American faith communities on the front lines of hope and change. This two-part series includes interviews with media executive and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey; singer, songwriter, producer and philanthropist John Legend; singer and actress Jennifer Hudson; Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry; gospel legends Yolanda Adams, Pastor Shirley Caesar and BeBe Winans; civil rights leaders the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. William Barber II; scholar Cornel West and many more. “Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. has created an extraordinary fi lm which deepens understanding, fosters conversation and so beautifully connects our country’s past to our present.” — Paula Kerger, PBS President and CEO PART ONE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 8 PM Host Henry Louis Gates Jr. explores the roots of African American religion, beginning with the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the extraordinary ways enslaved Africans preserved and adapted their faith practices under the brutal realities of human bondage. Learn how independent Black churches fl ourished after the Civil War, helping to fulfi ll the social, educational, fi nancial, cultural and political needs of the formerly enslaved. Gates highlights the stories of key fi gures such as Richard Allen and Jarena Lee of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Henry McNeal Turner, and Virginia Broughton and Nannie Helen Burroughs of the National Baptist Convention. 4 4 4 February 2021 Guide. Visit WTVP.org for more information. PART TWO TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 8 PM The Black church expands its reach to address social inequality and minister to those in need in the Jim Crow South and during the Great Migration and the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. After the violent loss of leaders like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., many Black churches struggled to remain relevant in an era of increasing secularization while reckoning with urgent social and culturalural issues. The series brings the story of the Black Church up to the present — a time of renewed struggle for racial justice in America.

Operating on limited funds and borrowed equipment, PBS had to literally throw together its operation in Miami Beach and still keep tabson'the candidates wandering around the country. The author,an engineering manager with KCET-TV in Los Angeles, outlines the engineering gymnastics that PBS had to go through to provide thecoverage necessary. The video equipment, telephone communications,power requirements, and remote set ups are described in careful technical detail.

Program examples include: news special reports, national presidential addresses and press conferences, local presidential events, guest interviews of administration officials, appearances of Ford family members, and the 1976 Republican Convention and Ford-Carter debates. In addition, WHCA created weekly compilation tapes of selected stories from network evening news programs.

  • THE GLOBALGIRL MEDIA OVERVIEW “This Is Our World, and My Voice”
    THE GLOBALGIRL MEDIA OVERVIEW “This is Our World, and My Voice” www.globalgirlmedia.org 1. MISSION STATEMENT GlobalGirl Media (GGM) develops the voice and media literacy of teenage girls and young women in under-served communities by teaching them to create and share digital journalism designed to ignite community activism and social change. Through mentoring, training and access to a worldwide network of online distribution partners, GlobalGirl Media harnesses the power of new digital media to empower young women to bring their often-overlooked perspectives onto the global media stage. GlobalGirl Media’s model is unique in that it pairs GlobalGirl news bureaus in U.S. cities with bureaus in international cities, creating a peer-to-peer global online network of girls. As of June 2012, GlobalGirl Media has implemented initiatives in seven cities in South Africa, Morocco and the United States, training more than 120 girls and young women, who have produced 125 video features using traditional camera and sound; 85 mobile journalism pieces on I-pod touch devices; and 180 blog reports that were distributed through trans-media platforms, predominantly online, but also including print, broadcast TV and cable, cell phones, radio and social media. 2. OUR MODEL GlobalGirl Media partners with local non-profit and educational organizations to provide a rigorous, four-week program of education and training in new digital media and citizen journalism to groups of 15 to 20 girls, ages 16-21, who are selected in partnership with local NGOs and/or educational institutions. Instructed by seasoned media professionals, the girls first learn the fundamentals of journalism: identifying and telling a story; journalism ethics, using a camera, sound and technical equipment; digital/mobile story-telling; and social media as a tool for development.
