An investment in public media is an investment in democracy. Well-funded public media helps build and maintain the infrastructure for civic engagement by providing reliable access to information. This panel of media veterans explores innovative news models, the role public media plays in sustaining an engaged democratic culture, and the future of journalism in America.

Hosted and produced by the Karsh Institute of Democracy, and sponsored by VPM. Introduction by Christa Acampora, dean of UVA's College and Graduate School of Arts and Science. 

This event will be livestreamed simultaneously on VPM’s website.
