KQED

The California Report is the top-rated, daily, statewide news radio and podcast report produced by KQED for California audiences. This is a sponsorship grant to support The California Report's program in general, and maintains editorial independence for the newsroom.

KQED informs and engages the public in California and nationwide with trustworthy journalism about key issues of community concern. This grant will support the growth of MindShift, a KQED digital reporting vertical that examines important developments and exciting practices in teaching and learning. This work advances the foundation’s Education Program goals of lifting up new exemplars of teacher practice, fostering new knowledge about transforming education systems, and providing a platform for new voices in our discourse about public education. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
