A Conversation with PBS and PCSSM about Solutions-Driven Climate Storytelling

Solutions must be at the center of the stories the media tells: how do you focus on solutions in a way that engages, inspires, and empowers people on a broad scale?
Join PBS, WHYY and the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media (PCSSM) to hear directly from industry-leading filmmakers, science communicators, and community leaders about how to make an impact in the ever-changing media landscape.
PBS will be sharing exclusive clips of their upcoming shows ahead of fall premieres. Learn about the climate story-telling that PBS is doing all over the country and also local programming from our local PBS station WHYY.
