East Lansing, MI; Feb. 11, 2022 – WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University announces the election of Brant Wells, senior director of television production and operations, as the PBS Digital Media Advisory Committee (DMAC) chair.
DMAC members act as advocates for stations and collaborate with PBS Digital to ensure that stations' needs are met, and priorities considered as PBS Digital delivers products and services to the system.
“DMAC is at the forefront of digital strategy and product development for all PBS stations nationwide,” said Wells. “The work is vital so that we can provide exceptional content to our communities in the ever-evolving media landscape. The work done within the council will not only help WKAR serve the Capital Region, but all stations and their communities.”
DMAC members actively participate in soliciting and sharing station feedback and assisting with general outreach within the system. Feedback and outreach activities include participating in PBS Digital professional development events; providing feedback on draft communications; actively participating on the PBS Digital Station's blog and participating in other mentoring activities involving stations.
