Solutions must be at the center of the stories the media tells: how do you focus on solutions in a way that engages, inspires, and empowers people on a broad scale?
Join PBS, WHYY and the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media (PCSSM) to hear directly from industry-leading filmmakers, science communicators, and community leaders about how to make an impact in the ever-changing media landscape.
