Hi all, I'm jumping in a little late here but just wanted to provide some additional background. Over the past 9 months, the WMF Comms team and our external support agency Minassian Media have had a number of informal meetings and a more formal summit with PBS, NPR and their NYC affiliates to discuss potential collaborations. We connected them at the summit with members of Wikimedia NY and Wikimedia DC and communication has been growing since.
We're encouraging as much grassroots partnership as possible and also trying to facilitate discussion where possible. If good ideas emerge from this grassroots partnering, we hope to use our resources at the Foundation to scale up successful initiatives. We're excited to see where this collaboration will take us!
