[Thread] #NOVA Releases Series of Short Films Produced by #IndigenousFilmmakers
by Barbara Ayotte
November 25, 2024
"Honoring Native American Heritage Month, GBH, Vision Maker Media, and NOVA have released a collection of six short documentaries, Legacy of the Land, covering climate change in Native American communities. The first of its kind, the collection includes stories each produced by an Indigenous filmmaker making the series as dynamic and distinct as Native American communities themselves. From Alaska to Arizona, audiences witness the knowledge, tradition, and innovation of people living on the front lines of our changing climate. This series is a companion to NOVA’s film, Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine, which was released in July.
"'This series shines a well-deserved spotlight on Native American climate solutions that are based on Indigenous knowledge and science. The stories provide a rare insight from the perspective of Indigenous filmmakers who have given us privileged access to their communities,' said Laurie Donnelly, GBH Executive Producer."

Public Broadcasting: noun - Television and radio programs broadcast to provide information, advice, or entertainment to the public without seeking profit.
But it's also so much more than that.

@beadsland TBF, that live audience note came after a couple of years in which the show was produced in-studio / over Zoom / Skype / whatever without and audience Because Covid. Lest we forget.
And that said, I'd soured on WWDTM quite a while before that based on its general inanity.
As for NPR's news programming: I've recently begun listening to WGBH's "The World" again after a hiatus of a decade or more, and one of my realisations is that my mind handles that programme far better than it does NPR's current mainstream news magazines (e.g., Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, etc.).
So far as I can tell, The World's magic is twofold:
- Its principle focus is outside the U.S. bubble.
- It is largely based on pre-recorded segments. That is, EDITED content.
- It has very few sponsorship breaks.
What I'd long since noticed listening to a live NPR affiliate broadcast (both local and sampled from various Internet streams from around the US) is that it seems like about half the time I join a broadcast it's running a sponsorship spot, that is, the promo percentage seems to be approaching 50%, and that much of the programming is live, *which means that all the fussy shit and inconsistency which an editing process drops on the cutting room floor intrudes into the on-the-air segment.
When editing a segment, a reporter and whatever support staff assemble a finished product out of multiple segments of audio and commentary. This means that editing to length happens before an item goes on air. That speech tics get edited out. That it's not necessary to chase the guest(s) off the air in the last minute or so of a segment. And that the reporter, if they're any good at all, can take a stream-of-consciousness discussion and edit it to a consistent narrative.
(That last can be problematic if the narrative is itself constructed. In the better cases, however, a reporter is uncovering a true thread. It's still something you want to watch.)
NPR began its switch to live, and multi-location broadcast origin, following 9/11, when the network realised that its dependence on a single broadcast studio (in Washington, DC) put it at risk of being knocked off-air in a catastrophe ... or violent attack. And there was a desire to make the news magazines more responsive to late-breaking developments. There's something to be said for both points. But how the network has approached both points greatly weakens the overall product in ways that simply tire my brain. Increased reliance on corporate sponsorship puts a further degradation on the net product.
Anyhow, that's my experience, and I'd be really interested in how other people feel comparing NPR (or programming such as the BBC which in many ways has evolved similarly) vs. The World's approach.
I'm aware of some non-English programming which seems to more closely resemble pre-2001 NPR production, particularly Deutschlandfunk.
