Trust, Storytelling, and the Economy: How Public Media Shapes Business Success

Join the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce at KUT's Studio 1A for our First Luncheon of 2026. At a time when trust in institutions is shifting and communities are seeking credible, inclusive storytelling, public media plays a critical role in informing, connecting, and empowering the public. This conversation will explore the current state — and future funding realities — of public media in Central Texas, and what changing models could mean for access, sustainability, and community voice. Panelists include leaders from Austin PBS, KUT News, and the ALGBTCC.
