Opportunities

Ethical journalism should be accurate, fair, and thorough. PBS Wisconsin provides courageously honest reporting and information that is fiercely independent, accountable, and transparent to the public.

 

I watch, appreciate, and support PBS Wisconsin’s news programs because I will not and cannot support any media that suppresses news, information, or belief systems. PBS Wisconsin is where I turn because I know they support open and civil exchange of view points.

Steve from Wausau

How we Work

PBS Wisconsin reporters abide by the Wisconsin Public Media Code of Ethics with the highest standards of integrity. We take responsibility for the accuracy of our work, use original sources whenever possible, and deliver dependable information with context that’s devoid of conflicts of interest or oversimplification. We support the open and civil exchange of views, hold those with power accountable, and give voice to the voiceless.

Our Impact

The Focus Fund for Journalism provides trustworthy, unbiased and well-reported news and public affairs programs for Wisconsin residents, including Here & Now, our Emmy Award-winning weekly series, live coverage of the State of the State and biennial state budget addresses and many other civic events.
