| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | LOCAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA STATEWIDE OPIOID INITIATIVE THE OPIOID CRISIS HAS BECOME A NATIONWIDE ISSUE. IT WAS DECLARED A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY BY PRESIDENT TRUMP IN OCTOBER 2017, AND A DISASTER EMERGENCY BY PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR WOLF IN JANUARY 2018. PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA STATIONS ARE CONFRONTING THE CRISIS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE BY PARTNERING ON A MASSIVE INITIATIVE THAT INVOLVES ALL STATIONS, STATE AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH AGENCIES TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO BATTLE THE EPIDEMIC. UNDER THE TITLE BATTLING OPIOIDS: A PROJECT OF PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA, THIS TWO-YEAR INITIATIVE SHOWS THE COLLECTIVE VALUE OF PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA THROUGH OUR DAILY ABILITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON IMPORTANT ISSUES. THIS PROJECT IS A COLLABORATIVE MULTIMEDIA EFFORT UNDERTAKEN BY PHILADELPHIA'S WHYY PUBLIC MEDIA, PBS39 IN BETHLEHEM, NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA'S WVIA PUBLIC MEDIA, WITF PUBLIC MEDIA IN HARRISBURG, WPSU PUBLIC MEDIA IN STATE COLLEGE, WQED PUBLIC MEDIA IN PITTSBURGH, AND WQLN PUBLIC MEDIA IN NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOCUS OF THE PROJECT COVERS THREE AREAS: STIGMA, PREVENTION, AND TREATMENT, AND SHOWCASES PERSONAL STORIES RELATED TO EACH THAT LEAD TO A PLACE OF HOPE. THE INITIATIVE BEGAN WITH A STATEWIDE AIRING OF WQED'S DOCUMENTARY BROKEN: WOMEN FAMILIES OPIOIDS THAT PREMIERED LOCALLY IN NOVEMBER 2017. ON MARCH 29, 2019, ALL SEVEN PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA STATIONS AIRED BROKEN: WOMEN FAMILIES OPIOIDS. BROKEN: WOMEN FAMILIES OPIOIDS MAKES THE ARGUMENT THAT OPIOID ADDICTION AMONG WOMEN HAS IMPLICATIONS, WHICH GO FAR BEYOND THE ADDICT, INFECTING THE ENTIRE FAMILY, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. IN THE DOCUMENTARY, WE MEET CHILDREN WHO ARE BORN ADDICTED, WHILE OTHERS ARE REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES AND PLACED IN FOSTER CARE OR IN THE CARE OF AN EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBER. BROKEN: WOMEN FAMILIES OPIOIDS WON THIS YEAR'S PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE CATEGORY OF OUTSTANDING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM. PENNSYLVANIA'S PUBLIC TELEVISION STATIONS HAVE COMMITTED THEIR RESOURCES TO PRODUCING A YEAR-LONG QUARTERLY SERIES CALLED BATTLING OPIOIDS.
