Form 990, Part III, line 2 During this period, Maine Public undertook additional services and programming to serve Maine in new capacities. Maine Public further developed our Maine Public News Connect property - an initiative where Maine Public translates important news and information each week into French, Spanish, Somali, and Portuguese video pods for immigrant communities in Maine. This initiative is in response to a direct need in immigrant communities across Maine for news and information to keep new Mainers better informed about what is going on in Maine and the world around them. The program expanded into creating newsletters in these four languages plus Khmer and Arabic. The Maine Public's news team launched an important initiative to look at how each county in Maine is responding to changes to the environment in a series called Deep Dive Climate Driven. This series included content on every Maine Public platform and continued through Earth Day in 2023. Maine Public continued to enhance our cultural programming to the state on our Maine Public Classical service with more locally produced classical programs and the launch of an entirely new jazz program called The Jazz Flower.
