WNET Up Next Visits the World of Multiplatform Initiatives

WNET UP Next

This month, WNET Up Next features Executive Producer/Project Director Eugenia Harvey and Producer Maya Navon to learn more about the Multiplatform Initiatives unit. In addition to producing content for Chasing the Dream, an initiative on income inequality, poverty and opportunity, the unit also publishes content for Peril and Promise: The Challenge of Climate Change, reporting the human stories of climate change and its potential solutions.

With climate change becoming an ever-more important issue and with recent events like the Global Climate Strike and the United Nations sessions on global warming, Peril and Promise has been at the forefront of reporting fact-based journalism across all platforms of public media.

Right now the team is partnering with Climate Nexus on the five-part digital series Freedom to Breathe, which follows the route of 1961’s Freedom Riders to examine how climate change is affecting those areas.
