At PBS helm, Paula Kerger must seek solvency - Yahoo! News

At PBS helm, Paula Kerger must seek solvency - Yahoo! News: "CHICAGO (Hollywood Reporter) - Paula Kerger's mission as the new chief of the Public Broadcasting Service is to give the endearing and endangered institution financial autonomy in a digital media world that desperately needs what PBS has to offer.

A 13-year veteran of New York's flagship PBS station WNET and the Educational Broadcasting Corp., Kerger has been driven her first three months on the job by high-energy intensity and an unspoken acceptance that PBS' rebirth or collapse could occur on her watch.

She is driven by knowing first-hand the value of a national public television connection to grassroots artists, culture, politics and issues."
