2022 NETA Conference and CPB Thought Leader Forum

The NETA Conference is dedicated to providing public media professionals with meaningful and relevant connections to the people and ideas that are at the heart of our mission to educate, engage, and entertain. This year’s event is a hybrid conference, taking place September 18-22, 2022, in Charlotte, NC and online.

The Cooney Center is pleased to present “A Seat at the Table for Tweens and Tweens in Public Media: Lessons from Established Youth Programs,” featuring some early results from a field study conducted with public media stations across the country. Based on both quantitative and qualitative data gathered from over 200 public media stations, this study aims to create a baseline understanding of where the field is at in 2022 when it comes to tween and teen programs, content, and engagement. Following a presentation of findings, the session will invite participants to think together about its implications: What do they want to see happen to support greater impact when it comes to youth audiences?  Where do they think the field should go? And how do they want to be a part of it?
