“Public media holds a special place in my heart. NPR's news and weekend programming keep me well-informed and engaged with their comprehensive reporting and unbiased analysis. PBS documentary series like NOVA, Nature, and Frontline educate, enlighten, and inspire me with their meticulous research and compelling storytelling. As a child, shows like Reading Rainbow and Wishbone nurtured my love for literature and encouraged critical thinking.”
