Title: How Does Public Media Funding Work?
Runtime: 2:31
Date posted: 2 years ago
Description: How does the funding for public media really work? What is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and what's at risk without funding?

Public media is made by and for the people, and federal funding is crucial to this mission. Without the CPB funding, the system is at risk, smaller member stations will close, news deserts will get worse, and producing stations, like MPT, may be unable to make your favorite shows.

These funds are vital to our operation here in Maryland. Visit https://protectmypublicmedia.org/ today to tell Congress why MPT and public media matter to you. Decisions made in the coming days will shape the future of public media for years to come.

Watch a special message from MPT CEO Larry Unger on how viewers like you can help support MPT and public media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPl9q31PZW8

Resurrecting Poplar Island | Watch Full Film (Capital Emmy Winner)

Title: Resurrecting Poplar Island | Watch Full Film (Capital Emmy Winner)
Runtime: 27:47
Date posted: 2 years ago
Description: Poplar Island, like so many other islands in Chesapeake Bay, was vanishing- steadily sinking into ever-rising water.

By the 1990s, all that remained were a few wispy bars of sand, no more than five acres in all. Once, it had thrummed with life: a haven for British warships, a home to more than 100 people, a hideout for bootleggers and moonshiners, and a hunting retreat that hosted the likes of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. But in time, Chesapeake Bay reclaimed the island, eroding its shores and swallowing its stories.

"Resurrecting Poplar Island" salvages those stories from the sea, chronicling the small community that made Poplar its home and the frantic effort to save the graves of some of those inhabitants as the island slipped beneath the waves. Its eventual resurrection was– and continues to be– one of the most ambitious environmental engineering projects on the planet.

Poplar Island’s ongoing restoration is the result of an extr...
