| Washington, DC: Let us go where commercial
television doesn't go and even PBS is reluctant. Let's look at our core belief
systems and see how these shape our business thinking and behavior.¹ |
| There is so much of TV programming today that
glamorizes exploitive behaviors, it's increasingly accepted as just another
"art form." Our core values are being seductively dulled. TV influences, and
even changes, culture and behavior. Let's look at how we can shape a new
television era that focuses on the creative mind and spirit, the deep-seated
motivations, the results of which have made this country great. |
| We believe public television would do well to
focus on a "value-creation" model. Let's inspire people everywhere to discover
their own sense of calling, their deep-seated gifts and talents, and the many
possible paths to make this world a better place. We will focus on people who
start a business, become successful, and now graciously give back. |
| This episode is controversial. It is not
politically correct. Yet, we believe it opens such an important discussion for
these times; as a people, we need to explore every dimension of truth that it
has. |
