The State We're In
Connecting New Hampshire
Responding to a critical need for in-depth analysis of the Coronavirus Pandemic, New Hampshire PBS launches a new digital series. Hosted by GSNC Director Melanie Plenda, the series will explore solutions to the crisis and highlight local efforts to combat the virus and rebuild local economies.
The State We're In was the title of one of the first public television public affairs programs on New Hampshire PBS. Nearly fifty years ago the station was known as Channel 11- the New Hampshire Network. This series seeks to revive the in-depth reporting and civil discourse that once was the hallmark of public affairs and discussion shows in the state.
The State We're In is produced in partnership with the Granite State News Collaborative which is funded in part by the Solutions Journalism Network and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. Production is also made possible by the Facebook Project Community Network Grant program in partnership with the Lenfest Institute for Journalism and the Local Media Association.
