Telling your stories
In our Children’s Media and Education work, we respond to the strengths and needs of specific communities, creating media that is for them, about them, and with them. With this intentionality, we ensure that everyone’s story is part of the narrative, the learning is more relevant and engaging, and allows for a more equitable and inspired future.Seeta Pai, Executive Director of Education
Five Point Criteria
At GBH, we want the stories we tell to be as multifaceted, varied, and interconnected as the world around us. Using data to drive our content, we hold ourselves to the following 5 criteria:
Our multi-faceted, intergenerational audience is engaged.
Our creators, directors, and producers authentically represent the stories we share.
Our content is inclusive, reflecting the world around us.
Our internal roles are filled with talent of all backgrounds, perspectives, and identities.
From hosts to narrators to interviewers and many more, our talent represents our audience's experiences.
