PRX believes in the power of audio storytelling. Experiencing new stories expands our empathy, changes our minds, and transforms our communities.
As a home for innovation in audio, the work and culture of PRX reflect our mission: to lead the expansion of public media as a trusted source of
knowledge, information, and inspiration for all. In 2021 we broke new ground in this effort, together with our dedicated listeners, creators, and
supporters. Thank you.

<blockquote>
<p class="title">Welcome</p>
<p>
In 2003, PRX was created to address a particular challenge of the time—great stories were produced for radio, aired once, and then disappeared. PRX
solved this problem by creating the first open, searchable, digital marketplace devoted to audio—The PRX Exchange. We also built an economy to support it.
</p>
<p>
Our aims were to reduce the friction that stifled opportunities for independent producers and to expand the shelf life of evergreen stories. Prior to
this, public radio stations had only two content choices — to either air national programs or to make content themselves. PRX created a middle option giving
independent producers local and national broadcast reach, and public radio stations the access to choice. In doing so, we unlocked opportunities for diverse
voices and opened an otherwise closed system. PRX also became one of the first places you could listen to public radio on the internet.
</p>
<p>
In those early days, PRX had a rebel vibe. We disrupted the status quo to create something new, efficient, and more accessible. Today that nonconformity has
led to expansive impact. We see our work as a catalyst for change—turning problems into opportunities, reframing difficulties, and empowering people and teams
to expand the story of public media.
</p>
<p>The ways we see this in action:</p>
<ul>
<li>We support a creative economy and over the course of our existence, have put $100 million in the hands of creators.</li>
<li>We provide access to state-of-the-art technology at no or low cost to content makers of all sizes.</li>
<li>We champion local public radio stations in their service to their communities.</li>
<li>We have created an innovative and rigorous global training curriculum, helping audio producers make meaningful media in an agile, supportive, and accessible learning environment.</li>
<li>We welcome the public to tell their own stories in the studios and classrooms at our Podcast Garages in Boston and embedded in the new headquarters of KQED in San Francisco.</li>
<li>We have partnered with some of the most creative makers in public radio and podcasting, and have celebrated their success on their own terms.</li>
</ul>
<p>
We create value through our collaborations, technology, journalism, stories—and by sharing what we have learned along the way. Inspired by the success of our
partners, fueled by the benefits of our merger with PRI, and bolstered by the generous philanthropic support of our donors and institutional funders, we have
established core values to serve as our north-pointing arrow.
</p>
<p>
On these pages, you will find our values woven throughout our work: Our bold vision and innovative spirit give us the courage to take risks. We practice
empathy by celebrating the humanity of our colleagues and partners. We believe that excellence is not centrally sourced, and if we create opportunities for many,
we all benefit. All of this is in service of our purpose and our vision of a world that values inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.
</p>
<p>
We want to be the place of big dreams and meaningful impact — an entrepreneurial nonprofit with an expansive mission. We need courage fueled by the ideas,
inspiration, and support of those we meet along the way. Thank you for your partnership.

<h2>Continuing the<br>Legacy of <em>Studio 360</em></h2>
<p>
PRX Productions is led by Jocelyn Gonzales, who helped grow the unit out of the talents she cultivated at legendary arts and culture show <em>Studio 360</em>. The ethos of that show—which told the
stories of American icons who hadn't been traditionally featured in public media—laid the groundwork for PRX Productions, bringing a greater range of voices and processes to public media
production units.

<h2>Serving Listeners of All Ages</h2>
<p>
As a driver of innovation, PRX believes public media can, and should, be the vanguard for values and excellence in podcasting for youth and their families.
That’s why we created the <a href="http://trax.fm/" target="_blank">first-of-its-kind network</a>—just for tweens.
</p>
</section>
<section class="light-text-with-circles">
<h2>The Answers to Kids’ Biggest Questions</h2>
<p>
Child development experts often call the tween years the second period of the “whys.” But public media hasn't always met 9-13 year-olds where they are. Mainstream media hasn't done much better,
filling the void with reels and posts that lack quality content for developing brains. When the pandemic hit, we saw more than a 50% increase to the PRX Kids portfolio—kids shows aren’t only holding
steady, they are growing.<br><br>
That's why PRX decided to make podcasts the whole family could enjoy. We turned to a <a href="https://www.trax.fm/blog/trax-squad" target="_blank">Squad</a> of tweens and experts from across the country to tell us what they're missing
in their media diet—and how PRX can fill that gap.

In 2021, our tech team brought new innovation to <a href="https://medium.com/prxofficial/ted-audio-collective-and-dynamic-audio-insertion-c877985e9f1b" target="_blank">PRX Dovetail</a>—our suite of applications designed to optimize and streamline the post-production process for podcasters. We maximized the
benefits producers could get from their content by incorporating inventory management into Dovetail, allowing PRX’s stellar Ad Operations team to increase the inventory on ads sold by
10-15%—that means more dollars in producers' pockets.<br><br>
We also advanced Dovetail integration with a privacy-forward marketplace that leverages the best of programmatic advertising (ads on demand), while respecting listener privacy. In other
networks, programmatic ad exchanges tend to match the ad to the listener's or user’s metadata. This has led to a race to the bottom with low-quality ads and low value to producers.
With our partners at Market Engenuity, we are building out an exchange of vetted ads that matches advertisers with shows, and protects your private data.

<h2>A News Website,<br>Not a Click Casino</h2>
<p>
In November, PRX relaunched the website for <a href="http://www.theworld.org/" target="_blank"><em>The World</em></a>—our iconic international news program—<a href="https://medium.com/prxofficial/a-whole-new-the-world-org-c83c717127aa" target="_blank">removing all of the ads, third-party cookies,
and tracking scripts</a> that other websites often use to follow you across the internet. That means when readers click on <a href="https://theworld.org/" target="_blank">TheWorld.org</a>, they're getting
award-winning news faster and without distracting ads or clickbait.<br><br>
We are one of the very few legacy news organizations to take this step—and we do it because we are invested in building relationships with readers and listeners who support our journalism with direct
donations that are your choice. It's a model that matches our mission to keep content open and extend equity by keeping our exceptional journalism accessible.

“Major kudos to PRX for taking leadership on implementing a 'privacy-by-design' public media digital model. A few of us at local public media stations have been shouting into the wind about
our responsibilities to serve our audiences without exposing them to exploitation of their personal data. Your new website is also easy to use, beautifully styled, and scores very well on
web accessibility. Decision-makers at stations and NPR, PBS, and CPB should be paying close attention."

<h2>A Broadcast Portfolio We Are Proud to Represent</h2>
<p>
As a programming distributor to public radio stations all over the United States, PRX is intentional about the broadcast programs we represent to help public media look and sound like the full
public across the country—not just the coasts.
</p>
</section>

<h2>Nimble by Nature, Resilient by Design</h2>
<p>
PRX started as a technology company that brought digital to the airwaves through <a href="https://www.prx.org/exchange" target="_blank">The PRX Exchange</a>—an open audio distribution marketplace that gives producers local and national broadcast reach.
Our digital roots mean we are nimble by nature and are able to move quickly on the broadcast scene. And, we attract and distribute impactful shows that sound like and speak to communities across the country.<br><br>
From the 25th anniversary re-release
of Peabody Award-winning “<a href="https://medium.com/prxofficial/celebrating-25-years-of-black-radio-telling-it-like-it-was-b0e5a2229b91" target="_blank">Black Radio: Telling It Like It Was</a>”
with the Smithsonian, to <a href="https://exchange.prx.org/pieces/368070-crushed?m=false" target="_blank"><em>Crushed</em></a> from Religion of Sports, to
"<a href="https://beta.prx.org/stories/363679" target="_blank">The Universal Title</a>," an America Abroad Media
special about Muhammad Ali’s religious life—shows distributed by PRX add context and perspective to the ever-changing world in which we live.<br><br>
The diversity of our network in content, production, and distribution helped PRX weather the early impacts of the pandemic on radio listening. Home to programs like
<a href="https://www.latinousa.org/" target="_blank"><em>Latino USA</em></a>, <a href="https://snapjudgment.org/" target="_blank"><em>Snap Judgement</em></a>,
and <a href="https://revealnews.org/" target="_blank"><em>Reveal</em></a>, as well as <a href="https://themoth.org/" target="_blank"><em>The Moth</em></a> and
<a href="https://www.thisamericanlife.org/" target="_blank"><em>This American Life</em></a>, PRX has built a portfolio we are more than proud of—and a network that is resilient.

<h2>A Network for Stations and Audiences as Public Media Changes</h2>
<p>
Public media institutions are among the best producers of audio content on the planet. Together, we have the ability to deliver exceptional content across platforms in a rapidly changing
media landscape. We believe that we are the network best positioned to help stations and their audiences thrive—not only on-air, but across media platforms.
</p>
</section>
<section class="light-text-with-mark alt" id="public-media">
<h2>Public Media That Reflects the Public</h2>
<p>
The community PRX most directly serves with the support of donors and funders is the world of audio content creators. This includes public radio stations, independent organizations, and
individual audio makers. It is through these partners, and also through our own productions, that we serve the broader public.<br><br>
We are at an inflection point in public media and the broader media landscape is rapidly shifting. New partnerships form almost daily. Listeners are discovering content in new ways. This
makes the competitive landscape more complex and difficult for local public media stations to navigate. Simultaneously, stations are evolving to accommodate the changing role of public
media in their local communities—becoming multi-platform publishers that provide unique engagement opportunities. And as stations evolve, networks evolve, too. That makes the context and
collaboration that networks provide even more important.<br><br>
PRX works to align our mission with the needs of local stations, finding new ways to attract and engage audiences and thrive sustainably in the media environment of the moment. Our ecosystem
captivates audiences by attracting hosts and talents that exude authenticity and engage in conversations that aren't heard on other networks. Here, they have the space to dig deeper and talk
to audiences in ways that resonate with their daily lives. We're not about creating a cache of shows that sound like “public media”—we're about bringing all listeners a network that sounds
like the full American public.

<h2>Building Strong Creative Communities with PRX Training </h2>

The democratic nature of podcasting means anyone can pick up a mic and create something—but it also means a lot of people are starting on their own, without knowing their markers
of success or where they want to go. PRX has long been a resource to help make the overwhelming amount of information about podcasting more accessible.

<h3>Co-creating Podcast Communities Around the World</h3>

In 2021, our training team prioritized co-creating podcasting ecosystems with creators around the world. By helping seed pockets of micro-experts, podcasters working with

<h3>Introducing the World of Work Through Ready To Learn</h3>
<p>
A highlight of 2021 for PRX Training was the launch of the <a href="https://www.prx.org/ready-to-learn" target="_blank">Ready To Learn</a> podcast accelerator in
partnership with <a href="http://pbskids.org/" target="_blank">PBS KIDS</a> and the <a href="https://www.cpb.org/ready-to-learn" target="_blank">Corporation for Public Broadcasting</a>,
supported by the US Department of Education. The pandemic sparked a huge demand for children's podcasting—but it also showed the extent to which content is lacking.
Through RTL, PRX adapted our multi-week training accelerator to work with indie producers of kids' content with the goal of preparing children for the world of work.
<a href="https://medium.com/prxofficial/prx-pbs-kids-and-cpb-welcome-six-teams-to-the-ready-to-learn-podcast-accelerator-26ac9435e82f" target="_blank">Six talented teams</a>
from around the country developed and refined their shows, marketing, and monetization plans with the help of PRX. One show—<em>Work It Work It!</em> co-hosted
by Christina Sanabria and Andrés Salguero of Latin GRAMMY-winning children’s musical duo, 123 Andrés—was selected to be produced by PBS.<br><br>

<h2>Heloiza Barbosa’s Journey Through PRX</h2>
<h3><em>FAXINA</em></h3>
<p>
Originally from Belem, Brazil, Heloiza moved to Boston in 1994, working as a waitress, barista, and housecleaner before earning her Ph.D. in education from Boston University.
It was listening to <em>This American Life</em> and other public radio shows while cleaning that helped her learn English and sparked an interest in sound design. Heloiza attended her
first event on the art of personal storytelling at the PRX Podcast Garage in 2017. “And then after that, I did every workshop—if there was a workshop that I thought I could do, I would
sign up. I never felt out of place in the Garage.”<br><br>
Eventually, an idea was born—to start a Portuguese-language podcast about Brazilian domestic workers in America called <em>FAXINA</em>, which means “deep cleaning.” “When I thought about these stories,
the immigrant stories that had been ignored, I thought about that word <em>faxina</em>. That word meant so much—it's like stories that literally, and metaphorically, had been swept under the rug and
we need to collectively lift up the rug and air those stories.”<br><br>
Heloiza and PRX crossed paths again when she attended the East Boston Public Library Podcasting workshop in 2019. Later that year, she was selected as a runner-up for the <a href="https://googlecp.prx.org/blog/announcing-20-podcast-teams-for-2020-21-google-podcasts-creator-program" target="_blank">Google Podcasts creator program</a>,
with the chance to attend a creator’s boot camp. “It was one week that completely changed my life.” PRX training helped shape her idea and by the end of its first season,
<em>FAXINA</em> was considered the best narrative podcast on platforms in Brazil, with listeners in 42 countries. <em>FAXINA</em> was officially selected for the full Google Podcasts creator program from thousands of applicants in
2020, which helped take the podcast to the next level.<br><br>
In 2021, <a href="https://www.thirdcoastfestival.org/competition/2021-third-coastrichard-h-driehaus-foundation-competition" target="_blank"><em>FAXINA</em></a> was named a
<a href="https://www.thirdcoastfestival.org/competition/2021-third-coastrichard-h-driehaus-foundation-competition" target="_blank">winner</a> of the 2021 Third Coast/Richard H.
Driehaus Foundation Competition. Episodes are available for English speakers via <a href="https://www.faxinapodcast.com/faxina-in-english/" target="_blank">YouTube</a>. And, Heloiza is continuing to build the creator ecosystem, “I realize the stories I want to tell are right here around me.”
