We are thrilled to share some exciting news: Rhode Island PBS and The Public’s Radio are now officially one united organization — Ocean State Media, Rhode Island’s home for PBS and NPR.
Fueled by fearless local journalism, community-centered storytelling, and multiplatform innovation, Ocean State Media is committed to listening to you and delivering the stories, conversations, and connections that matter most.
This milestone fulfills a journey we began in 2023, when the intent to merge these two trusted institutions was first announced. Now, nearly two years later, having listened to and learned from the community about what you want and need, we’re proud to start this next chapter together.
Ocean State Media is dedicated to sparking meaningful conversations, reflecting the richness of our region, and meeting you wherever you are: on air, online, and out in the world.
At a time when public media is both more at risk and more essential than ever, we invite you to explore and share our work. Watch, listen and visit our website at OceanStateMedia.org. We can’t wait to hear what you think.
With gratitude,
Pam Johnston
President and CEO
Ocean State Media
