WOSU@COSI -- A National Model
It has been a few months since WOSU Public Media opened the doors of its new digital media center – WOSU@COSI. The design and functionality of the space has received high marks from community and corporate leadership. We’ve been very excited about the many diverse projects recently at WOSU@COSI reflecting our mission of local programming, outreach, and education.
The national buzz about this project has been gratifying as well:
- A cover story and extensive piece in Government Video Magazine, a national publication for the video industry and additional stories in TV Technology and Broadcast Engineering magazines;
- Feature splashes on the front page of several national public broadcast websites including America’s Public Television Stations and National Educational Telecommunications Association;
- A presentation on WOSU@COSI for the national PBS conference in Norfolk, Virginia about the partnership with COSI and community impact of the project.
In fact, The Ohio State University posted a video feature with a tour of our facility on the front page of their web page, www.osu.edu, when we opened our doors, and it received the most attention of any video feature in 2006 with over 6,500 views of the video stream.
We invite you to take part in any of the many events at WOSU@COSI—from “live” performance and talk show productions to our special events for children. Members receive special notification of those events and activities, so if you want to help us continue our commitment to serve the Columbus area, please join 22,000 others who support public broadcasting and WOSU by clicking through to http://wosu.org/give/pledge/.
The WOSU@COSI project has a special need until September, 2007 as we attempt to meet a challenge from the Kresge Foundation. If we can raise funding from a broad swath of supporters for the WOSU@COSI project, Kresge will contribute $500,000 to the project. We have a goal to meet. Please consider joining over 1,500 individuals who have answered the Kresge challenge.
Thank you
Tom Rieland, General Manager, WOSU Public Media
