SEPTEMBER 2020
Beyond broadcast
Public media exists to serve the public. For
years, stations did that through TV and radio.
Today, the media landscape has expanded,
and GBH has to be in all of the places our
audience needs us. That means going beyond
broadcast, beyond call letters and beyond
outdated ideas about platforms.
To reflect that, GBH dropped the letter that
tied us to broadcast and adopted a more
vibrant aesthetic. You’re not going to miss
it; that same letter is missing from this
entire message.
GBH has changed. But not our mission, our
pioneering spirit or our commitment to you.

1 SIQUEIROS: WALLS OF PASSION
Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month with the story
of Mexican visual artist David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974)
and the resurrection of his Los Angeles mural “América
Tropical,” championed by the Chicano movement as a symbol of
its oppressed culture. A lifetime activist and advocate for public
art, Siqueiros fought in the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish
Civil War and taught Jackson Pollock the drip technique in his
experimental workshop in New York. Siqueiros murals in the
US, Mexico, Cuba, Chile and Argentina gave the controversial
artist worldwide acclaim.

Vice President Joe Biden will lead the nation for the next four
years. Prior to every election since 1988, FRONTLINE’s acclaimed
film series The Choice has investigated the life stories of the two can-

Filming during a pandemic
W hen shutdown orders were first put in place because of the
coronavirus, filmmaker Michael Kirk and his crew needed
to keep filming interviews for The Choice 2020 to meet their tight
production schedule.
Their idea was to put together a portable camera/lighting/audio
kit that could be shipped to any location and assembled on site.
The trick was to make it simple enough so that interviewees could
set it up themselves but sophisticated enough so that the footage
would have the same high-quality look and feel as every other
FRONTLINE documentary before the pandemic.
