ATHENS, OH – Public Media Giving Days, a national event inviting viewers, listeners, members, music lovers, journalism aficionados, educators and fans to take a stand in solidarity behind their local public media, returns for its second year on May 1 and 2. WOUB Public Media will participate with a pledge drive on WOUB FM and messages from nationally known journalists, musicians, documentarians, actors and educators broadcast on WOUB TV.
“Because it is a national event, Public Media Giving Days is a wonderful opportunity to increase awareness of the value that WOUB brings to our community and to welcome new people into the WOUB family,” said WOUB Managing Director Mark Brewer.
Wednesday May 1stst, WOUB will ask people to donate in recognition of all the good things public media brings into their lives. Then, on May 2, WOUB will ask those who have already helped advocate for their community by sharing their stories in public media, either on social media or by texting or emailing a friend, to encourage others to also donate.
“Public Media Giving Days will help fuel the programs you love that increase understanding, broaden perspectives and share journeys of discovery for every community in our region,” Brewer said. “Public media is a staple in communities across the country, bringing educational content, trusted journalism and entertaining television to everyone, and individual donors allow WOUB to maintain the independence that is key to our mission of service audience.
