Marissa Mayer, Commission Co-Chair, to Answer Public’s Questions
Washington, D.C. – How do citizens
get their news and information today, and how would they improve the quality of
information available to them? These are
some of the questions The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of
Communities in a Democracy would like Americans to answer as part of the first
major study in the digital age assessing how information needs are being met in
communities nationwide.
PBS Engage is partnering with the Knight Commission to seek
public input and offer an interactive experience at www.pbs.org/publicinput from Tuesday
April 21 – Friday May 8, 2009. The site
will feature a preliminary analysis of the Commission’s work, videos of the Commission’s
public forums and meetings, blogs about the Commission’s work and a forum for
citizens to express their thoughts and opinions. "As
public media, we feel it's important to be part of the conversation around the
information needs of communities and we are thrilled to be able to open this
dialogue up to the PBS audience,” said Angela Morgenstern, Senior Director of
PBS Interactive.
