Vision, Mission and Values
Vision
PBS Charlotte will be our region's first choice for public media and a catalyst for continuous improvement.
Mission
Channeling curiosity and connecting communities.
Values
People trust PBS Charlotte to provide programs of quality that engage the mind and spirit, that promote personal growth and lifelong learning, and that connect the community. People also want PBS Charlotte to be a safe haven for children.
In order to maintain this trust, PBS Charlotte staff upholds the qualities of trust (respect for the viewer), quality (high production standards), intelligence (programs that challenge the mind), balance (impartial, factual, little “spin”), uniqueness (different, unusual focus), and variety (diversity in genre, perspective, and niche).
