The National Black Programming Consortium

Vision, Mission & Values

The National Black Programming Consortium (NBPC) is dedicated to developing media content about the African Diaspora experience, distributing the content across multiple media platforms, and supporting outreach and engagement to various communities. Since 1991 NBPC has invested over $8 million dollars in iconic documentary productions for public television; trained, mentored, and supported a diverse array of producers who create content about contemporary black experiences; and emerged as a leader in the evolving next-media landscape through its New Media Institute and New Media Institute: Africa programs. NBPC also distributes engaging content online through Blackpublicmedia.Org, an online home for quality black digital content.

Media Strategy...

NBPC distributes broadcast length documentaries to public television series via "Independent Lens", "POV", and its own "AfroPop: the Ultimate Cultural Exchange". NBPC streams short and long-form media online via BlackPublicMedia.org. NBPC works with local organizations to support public screenings of films in Harlem. NBPC produces online media projects to address timely issues of importance to the African Diaspora community.
