Wikipedia:PBS



PBS has expressed some interest in partnering somehow with the Wikipedia community.

A theme in the discussion is that public media (public TV, public radio and public internet like Wikipedia) needs to reach new audiences, innovate in the way it engages with people, and explore new and unique partnerships to facilitate this important work.
