In Production Beginning in FY ’23, TPT has embarked on a new Multi-Platform Content Strategy that drives the development and production of all media across the station. The principles of this new strategy are in service of getting the right content, to the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Additionally, the new Content Strategy’s goals directly align with TPT’s long range Strategic Goals and aims to harness the power of story to entertain, educate and empower audiences to critically think and engage in the community around them.
More specifically, all TPT media will:
• Speak to a diverse and inclusive audience • Center on human stories told by underrepresented voices • Uplift underserved communities • Be timely and relevant • Be solution oriented • Have a strong POV • Emphasize impact
Minnesota Experience History Documentaries History may be the greatest strength of TPT’s local programming service. During this time of continued challenge and change, TPT’s regional historical content has never been more critical to its mission and impact. Several new history documentaries will be in production in 2023 including:
JIM CROW OF THE NORTH STORIES 4 Digital Episodes
Based on the Emmy® Award-winning documentary, Jim Crow of the North , the new digital-first series, Jim Crow of the North Stories , continues to look at race, place, and the past. How have Minneapolis residents responded to the rising awareness of racist covenants, red lining, and other forms of damaging segregation? What change and action is emerging from the awareness of these hidden histories? This limited series of short documentaries explores themes of systemic, interpersonal, and institutional racism, its impact, and the ways it has been resisted right here in Minnesota. Hosted by historian Acoma Gaither, this digital series uncovers this dark history of systemic racism, but also lifts up Black resistance and resilience in the past and the present-day changemakers bringing it to light and looking to right historical housing injustices.
