From the Ground Up:
A New Paradigm for Independent Program Development and Distribution
By Catherine Stifter and jesikah maria ross
Our two-and-a-half-year multimedia project, Saving The Sierra: Voices of Conservation in Action, is almost over. The digital files are all tucked into a nice big hard drive, and we’ve recycled all but the most important papers. But before the project’s co-director and I head off to the spa to spend the $648 in PRX licensing fees, we’d like to share a few lessons learned along the way that any producer can use in planning a national documentary special.
Next in the Spotlight:
Wesley Horner tackles negotiating distributor terms.

MQ2: "Shaping the Sound of Tomorrow"
Deadline: Monday, December 1, 2008
We pulled back the veil, and we love what we found so far. Nearly
500 nominees and nominators make up the Tribe of MQ2 — those who
tossed their collective hats into the ring to help advise and lead
public radio through its digitally driven transition. The Talent
Committee had the painful task of inviting just thirty of them to
send proposals by December 1 for how they'll mingle traditional
approaches to craft with the new. Up to 15 of these projects —
spanning a broad spectrum of formats, styles, and geography — will be
chosen for $20,000 to $40,000 in funding each. Grantees will be named
early in March 2009, and our chosen makers will have until July 31,
2009, to show us their stuff.
