WHYY is the region's leading public media company and PBS/NPR member station serving one of the nation's top 10 markets, with more than 2.9 million households in the 5-county greater Philadelphia region, the State of Delaware, and all of Southern New Jersey. WHYY's multimedia outreach includes WHYY-TV, WHYY-FM, and the award-winning online home for news and civic dialogue, NewsWorks.org. WHYY further serves the community through "off-air" programs such as community forums, artistic performances, lectures, and a variety of media education programs for youth, educators and adult learners in its Public Media Commons. WHYY's strategic approach is to use on-air and online content to drive in-person audience engagement. In 2016, in partnership with First Person Arts, WHYY received Center support to create a series of public media broadcasts and podcasts at the intersection of journalism and personal storytelling.
