Message from the WGBH President and Chair

Knowledge. Community. Accountability. The

principles that guide WGBH’s work are rooted in

the principles that also guide our democracy.

At a time in our nation when we are struggling to

hear one another, community-based public media

is a steadying force, holding true to our founding

principles by sharing content that educates, fosters

citizen participation and builds understanding

and trust.

WGBH makes an impact because we create programs

of enduring social value that share knowledge freely,

making it accessible to all. WGBH’s TV and radio

broadcasts have enormous local and national reach,

but with ever-expanding digital opportunities, we

now consider broadcast just the beginning. Our

production teams are reimagining our content for

audiences using tablets, apps, online streams, smart

phones and smart speakers. With our Emerging

Platforms Initiative, WGBH is tapping the promise of

social media to build our storytelling and engagement

with the next generation of citizens, creating

community in new ways.

Amid this changing and fragmented media landscape,

our public media mission matters more than ever.

We are committed to remaining a forum for stories

that may not find their way into the mainstream,

being a voice for those who otherwise would not

be heard. As the last locally owned, operated and

governed media in the country, public media is

everyone’s resource, accountable to the public, and

we make sure it’s available wherever and whenever

audiences seek it. And through our forums, WGBH

creates an environment in which our leaders and the

public can directly engage to better understand one

another. We provide this crucial connection every

month in our studio at the Boston Public Library,

a collaboration aligned in common purpose and

mission of making knowledge free to all.

Thomas Jefferson considered the enlightenment

of citizens to be indispensable to the success of our

nation. In following that framework, public media

strengthens our society and deepens our democracy.

This year, FRONTLINE received the prestigious Gold Baton, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University School of Journalism’s highest honor and the first awarded in a decade.

FRONTLINE and ProPublica’s reporting for Documenting Hate led to arrests and indictments of participants in the fatal Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

Transparency in action:WGBH News identifies the editor on air for every story broadcast on 89.7. FRONTLINE makes all of its source materials available to the public through its Transparency Project for anyone who wants to fact-check.

Truth and Transparency

A free and independent press is one

of the hallmarks of democracy, and it

is a core tenet of WGBH’s approach

to journalism. From our inclusive

examination of local issues on Greater Boston, Boston Public Radio and Under the Radar to our extensive coverage

of candidates and ballot questions on

WGBH News and Basic Black to our deep

investigative reporting on FRONTLINE,

WGBH is a recognized source of

accurate, trustworthy information.

Empowering citizens to make informed

decisions and hold leaders accountable

is at the heart of our mission. WGBH News shined a light on issues across the

Commonwealth with an unprecedented

12 debates last fall, broadcast and

streamed on multiple platforms,

allowing voters access to their potential

representatives for city, state and

national offices. The value and impact

of that kind of openness is tangible—

in a statewide UMASS poll, WGBH was

cited as the most trusted news source

for political information in the state.

Some of the most pressing issues

facing our democracy came to the

fore through the in-depth work of

our investigative documentary series

FRONTLINE. The two-part series

Documenting Hate, in partnership with

ProPublica, revealed the resurgence

of violent white supremacy in our

country, and ultimately led to arrests

and indictments of participants

in the fatal Unite the Right rally in

Charlottesville. Another threat

to democracy was exposed in

FRONTLINE’s powerful documentary

The Facebook Dilemma, which delved

into the social media giant, exposing

its vast surveillance capabilities. As

Facebook was under scrutiny by the

US Congress, this two-part film was

television’s most in-depth investigation

of the social media platform’s impact

on privacy and democracy in the US

and around the world and was viewed

by over 4 million people.

Science in the Public Interest

Climate change. The opioid crisis.

These enormous challenges facing

our country affect us all. How can

we as individuals understand such

complex issues? How do our

policymakers find solutions? The

answer is often rooted in science.

Demystifying scientific information

and making it accessible for all is

the driving force behind NOVA.

There is great public recognition of

climate change but a greater need for

understanding. In NOVA’s two-hour

documentary Decoding the Weather Machine, we learned from scientists

around the world who explained the

workings of weather and climate,

and identified ways humans can be

resilient, even thrive, in the face of

enormous change. The documentary

reached more than 5 million viewers,

cutting through the confusion and

sparking discussion among educators,

faith groups and communities across

the country.

NOVA’s film Addiction took an

unflinching look at the opioid crisis,

presenting the latest information from

neuroscientists on what is now known

to be a treatable brain disorder, not a

moral failing. Opioid addiction affects

people at all levels of our society.

Understanding the science of addiction

is essential to enacting effective

policies and science-based solutions.

NOVA traveled the country to meet

with researchers, affected families and

practitioners, including those here at

Massachusetts General Hospital, to

learn what the science of addiction can

tell us about how we might resolve this

dire social issue.

These issues and more at the

crossroads of science, technology,

education and business are explored

each week with some of today’s most

creative thinkers on Innovation Hub,

our national radio series.

NOVA shared the film Addiction with local and state policymakers and educators and held community screenings across the country. Short online videos featuring young people are helping inform and raise awareness of opioid addiction among the nation’s youth.

WGBH is partnering with NASA on Bringing the Universe to America’s Classrooms, a five-year, $10 million project that gives us access to the extraordinary materials from NASA space missions.

30,000 students are using this K-12 educational collection.

High School Quiz Show, now in its 10th season, puts the spotlight on academic excellence for thousands of Massachusetts high school students.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that the true purpose of

education in a democracy is to produce citizens.

Because education is at the very heart of public

media, we consider that part of our purpose as

well. Many children do not have access to a

good education, but everyone has access to public

media, and we embrace the opportunity to support

learners of every age.

For our youngest citizens, we tap their innate

curiosity and creativity to introduce foundational

skills across literacy, science, technology,

engineering, art and math that will be critical for

their future success. This year we launched an

original new animated series Pinkalicious & Peterrific, a comprehensive pre-school program

designed to encourage young children to explore

the arts. We’re transforming WGBH’s original TV

production PEEP and the Big Wide World with new

digital resources. Our PEEP Family Science offers

a series of free apps in English and Spanish that

combine animated stories with hands-on science

activities that encourage parents to engage with their

children through simple science exploration. WGBH

is working with partners in low-income areas

throughout the country to support parents by pairing

them with educators so that together they foster

healthy learning and development.

Knowledge of other cultures gives students

perspective on their own role as citizens in a society.

WGBH has created a unique learning opportunity

with Design Squad Global, a multiplatform project

that connects 10 to 13-year-olds with peers from

around the world. As they tackle global engineering

challenges, they build cross-cultural understanding

and collaborate on projects that meet a real need

in their communities. Design Squad Global has

connected more than 8,000 young people across

40 countries.

Educating our Youngest Citizens

With 1 million unique users each month, PBS LearningMedia, developed by WGBH, is a national online platform of more than 100,000 educational resources for teachers, students and parents, aligned with the curriculum in every state.

A Town SquareThe freedom of expression found in art,

music and drama…the insights offered

by history…the understanding gained

from sharing stories and experiences.

WGBH creates a place for these

essential elements of our democracy,

serving as a town square in which the

mosaic of cultures across our society

come together and are celebrated.

Perhaps no form of entertainment has

captured the imagination of Americans

across cultural and economic

boundaries more than the traveling

circus. Against the backdrop of the

Industrial Revolution, our American Experience history series took us

under the big top in The Circus,

revealing how this innovative and

influential spectacle stitched together

disconnected communities, and offered

promise and possibility for ordinary

and marginalized citizens alike.

Such reminders of our shared

humanity are vividly brought to life

through the compelling drama of

Masterpiece, which this year centered

on New England with Little Women,

or through the global storytelling on

WORLD Channel that gives context

to diverse cultures. And our innovative

Studio Six team taps universal themes

across its popular cooking and lifestyle

productions. Whether convening

audiences in our own studios, or

amplifying the work of musicians

and artists across the region on 99.5

Classical Radio Boston and on our

weekly television series Open Studio,

WGBH offers its own big tent, providing

our visitors, viewers and listeners

access to both local and national

emerging and world-class talent.

The enormous body of work created

by WGBH, together with public media

stations across the country, comprise

an American anthology, in many ways

the collective social and cultural

history of our nation. We are

preserving these programs for coming

generations through our American

Archive of Public Broadcasting, a

collaboration between WGBH and

the Library of Congress, now in its

fifth year. It is our intent that the

knowledge we gather and present

each year, with the support of

the public, will be used to inform and

enlighten the citizens of tomorrow.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, the most-watched ongoing series on PBS, produced by WGBH, is seen by up to

8 million viewers each week. In 2019, it celebrates its 500th episode.

In 2018, nearly 50,000 people attended community events at WGBH Studios in Brighton and the Boston Public Library, including Front Row Boston concerts, BostonTalks discussions, Sing that Thing!, Stories from the Stage, and High School Quiz Show tapings.

Consolidated Statements of Operating Activities (UNRESTRICTED FUND) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

The Campaign for WGBH: Leadership in the

Digital Century is now in a more public phase and

has reached a new fundraising milestone. As of

January 2019, almost 80% of the $175 million goal

($139 million) was raised. The largest ever for a

public media organization, the Campaign is

expanding WGBH’s base of philanthropic support

and advancing our mission across all programming

areas, including children’s media and education;

history, arts and culture; journalism; and science.

WGBH’s programs account for one-third of the

PBS prime-time schedule, and our children’s

productions are on a steady growth trajectory.

Our new series Pinkalicious & Peterrific will soon

be followed by another new national production

for the PBS KIDS lineup. Molly of Denali will be the

first nationally distributed kids’ series to feature

an Alaska Native lead character. Projects with other

partners will extend our educational children’s

content to new audiences.

WGBH takes an active role in supporting and

strengthening the public media system and advancing

creativity and innovation. With our financial

commitment this year, a new public media company

was formed through the merger of PRI and PRX.

Bringing together PRI’s award-winning journalism

with PRX’s cutting edge content, podcasting and

audio technology used by millions will expand their

capacity and scope to reach even further to serve

new and diverse audiences.

The Contributor Development Partnership (CDP) is

another distinct entity created by WGBH to sustain

a thriving public media system. CDP offers a large

array of fundraising and member services that now

are available to more than 200 public media stations

around the country.

WGBH’s finances reflect the organization’s strength and stability as it maintains its leadership role as the nation’s premier public media organization and the largest exporter of educational and cultural content from the Commonwealth.
