ideastream applies the power of media to education, culture and citizenship to strengthen our communities. Recognized locally and nationally as a new model for public media, ideastream distinguishes itself through partnership, community engagement and extensive use of multiple media. As a nonprofit organization, it is independent, community-controlled and has established a strong record of financial and operation stability. ideastream is well-positioned to leverage its assets with others to build a stronger community.

ideastream is the consolidation of eight educational and public service media programs and services, all previously managed separately:

WVIZ/PBS

with four channels of public television service and training for teachers and caregivers in the use of technology for education;

90.3 WCPN

Northeast Ohio’s NPR news and public affairs station;

WCLV CLASSICAL 104.9

classical music around the clock;

CIVIC COMMONS

a multiple media community-engagement program;

OHIO PUBLIC RADIO AND TELEVISION STATEHOUSE NEWS BUREAU

radio, television and web reports about state government, managed by ideastream on behalf of Ohio public broadcasting stations;

THE OHIO CHANNEL

a statewide public affairs television channel available by broadcast and on the web;

NORTH OHIO TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION

(NOTA) a broadband interactive distance learning network for K-12 school systems; and

SCIENCE AND MATH ACHIEVEMENT REQUIRED FOR TOMORROW

(SMART Consortium) a professional development program for teachers.

The mission of ideastream is to strengthen our communities. ideastream pursues this mission as a multiple media, public service organization by providing distinctive, thought-provoking programs and services that enlighten, inspire, educate and entertain.

2015 IDEASTREAM REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 1

As the proud volunteer chair of the Board, I know Northeast Ohioans have come to expect and consistently call on ideastream to provide in-depth and sustained, meaningful programs, information and analysis that is fast disappearing from the media landscape. ideastream is responding to this community need by doubling the investment in ideastream programs and services shared locally, nationally and internationally across all media platforms.

The ideastream Campaign for Community asks for a community investment of $20.3 million to build capacity and provide a funding bridge to sustain this increased level of service far into the future. The campaign’s success ensures that locally owned, locally produced, high-quality media assets are available to help build a sustainable future for the region.

With $15 million in pledges from individuals, corporations and foundations, ideastream has begun to make investments that bring MORE to the community:

• MORE in partnership with The City Club of Cleveland to produce, aggregate, catalogue, digitize and make available more than 100 City Club programs by broadcast, on the web and on demand—well beyond the 50 Friday Forums as in years past—on WVIZ/PBS, 90.3 WCPN and WCLV 104.9.

• MORE documentaries and specials like Violins of Hope: Strings of the Holocaust, which premiered on WVIZ/PBS in February 2016; others works such as upcoming specials about the centennial celebrations of Karamu House and the Cleveland Play House;

• MORE community issues programming with Ideas on WVIZ/PBS, The Sound of Ideas® on 90.3 WCPN and Ideas Now 24/7 on the web, social media and mobile platforms;

• MORE news reports produced locally and shared nationally on the PBS NewsHour and NPR’s All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Here & Now daily broadcasts;

• MORE focus on educational service to parents, child care professionals, students and schools through Cleveland Connects: The First 2000 Days, a partnership with Advance Ohio, cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, sponsored by PNC.

The Board of Trustees is committed to the campaign goal and emerging even MORE community-focused, mission-driven and better able to respond to the communities we serve.

Thank you for all that you do to help ideastream strengthen our committees.

Kevin McMullen Chair ideastream

Campaign for Community contributions are helping to build capacity, augment capability to create, produce and distribute content, and provide a funding bridge to sustain this increased level of service. Commitments to the campaign allow ideastream to dramatically enhance an ability to reach new and diverse audiences and sustain those services to the residents of Northeast Ohio far into the future.

In 2015, ideastream was among seven leading nonprofit cultural, education and media organizations in Northeast Ohio to present a multifaceted project centered on a collection of violins that survived the Holocaust and had been painstakingly restored. Violins of Hope Cleveland was an unprecedented season of community-wide events involving musical performances, educational programs and a major exhibition. ideastream documented the entire project from beginning to end. In December, CBS Sunday Morning featured the project and included WVIZ/PBS footage from the opening concert. The PBS NewsHour and NPR’s Here & Now included segments by ideastream Senior Arts and Culture Reporter David C. Barnett. That same week, the ideastream-produced documentary Violins of Hope: Strings of the Holocaust premiered locally on WVIZ/PBS. The documentary is being offered to PBS member stations nationwide.

Northeast has much to offer. According to our Listening Project, respondents report that community assets include excellent parks, Lake Erie, arts and culture, excellent academic institutions, access to exceptional healthcare and more. At the same time, Northeast Ohioans express concerns facing our community—jobs, physical infrastructure, poverty, racism and racial tension and the environment.

Community policing has been a particularly sensitive community issue. ideastream broadcasts, including interviews on The Sound of Ideas on WCPN 90.3 and roundtable discussions on Ideas on WVIZ/PBS, continue to explore this difficult community challenge. Segments and topics included:

• The Brelo trial;• State lawmakers proposing changes to our criminal

justice laws;• The plea for calm after the Brelo verdict;• Looking at the impact of Cleveland’s consent decree

formed by the City of Cleveland and the U.S. Department of Justice; and

• Dialogues about community policing with the head of Cleveland’s Community Police Unit; Cudell residents (the neighborhood of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old shot by Cleveland Police); the head of the Patrolmen’s Association; a youth minister; and Cleveland writer RA Washington.

The success of the first ideastream American Graduate event, which involved 8th-grade Cleveland Metropolitan School District students pledging to graduate from high school, generated much excitement and momentum. That energy was later evident in the American Graduate Storytelling Contest, which was designed for students at-risk for dropping out of high school due to a personal challenge to share their success stories, specifically about a “Champion” who helped them overcome their odds.

WVIZ/PBS ideastream Education, in partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s Get 2 School attendance campaign, designed an American Graduate Storytelling Contest seeking entries from 9th through 12th grade students. More than 160 students from 18 CMSD high schools entered the contest. ideastream received written narratives, video and audio recordings, poetry, sculptures, paintings and sketches illustrating the students’ will to succeed and how they overcame social, academic, physical and emotional challenges to stay in school. Every entry highlighted the role that a caring and consistent adult can play in the lives of young people. Semi-finalists and finalists, their family members and special “Champions,” were celebrated in January 2016 at special event at the Westfield Insurance Studio Theatre in the Idea Center. The top-five entrants received special prizes following live interviews with ideastream Senior Host/Producer Dee Perry.

Be Well: Healthy People, Healthy Places, Healthy Future is an effort to work with a core group of community partners to create and adopt a common set of health goals; expand coverage of socioeconomic and environmental health determinants; integrate logic modeling into the content planning processes; and expand content concerning wellness and prevention. ideastream creates a series of multiple media stories and programs that focus on the unique nature of Cleveland’s neighborhoods and addresses compelling needs within those areas. And ideastream answers questions focusing on what Cleveland’s “new economy” will look like. ideastream serves as the connector to the community to convene experts, facilitate discussions, share personal stories and describe opportunities and resources for those in need.

Neighborhood stories include: “New University Hospital Clinic for Women and Children in Midtown;” a “Crisis Abandoned,” series about lead poisoning issues in the Glenville, Ohio City and St. Clair-Superior neighborhoods; “Food Stamp Benefits and Farmer’s Markets,” in Tremont; and “Over-the-Counter Insulin,” in Kinsman.

2015 IDEASTREAM REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 11

Public Forums

Lead poisoning is an unseen but destructive health problem across Northeast Ohio. In the Be Well series, Lead: Crisis Abandoned, ideastream details what local officials and parents of children with lead poisoning, especially those in the underserved areas of Cleveland and Akron, are doing. As part of that series, Civic Commons ideastream facilitated a discussion with Greater University Circle community members at the Neighborhood Connections’ Neighbor Up Network Night. During that discussion, residents lamented about not being able to trust their tap water due to the chemicals in it.

Algae Blooms

Following the 2014 algae scare that plagued Toledo, Northeast Ohio residents have increasingly become concerned about the algae blooms in Lake Erie affecting the Greater Cleveland area. ideastream and Statehouse News Bureau reporters keep on top of the latest information by reporting about researchers, like Debbie Shordock (pictured) at the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD), testing water samples with the latest technology; following EPA assessment of guidelines to monitor safe drinking water and swimming water levels; and monitoring legislative actions of the Ohio House Agriculture Committee to ban the spread of manure and other toxins in the lake.

Fracking

Every year, the state and health of our environment continues to be a community challenge. More specifically, the advantages and disadvantages of fracking in Northeast Ohio is a story that ideastream reports with the latest news and information from all sides. For example, The Sound of Ideas on 90.3 WCPN brought together a panel—including a Case Western Reserve University science professor, a member of the Ohio Environmental Council and Jonathan Strong (pictured), board member of the Coalition to Reroute Nexus—to discuss fracking in comparison to other forms of energy development and its affect on groundwater.
