Hollywood heavyweights from a variety of disciplines, from film’s Steven Spielberg and Spike Lee to television’s Gary David Goldberg, are being invited to what’s being called the PBS Summit on Creativity and Community. They’ll be asked for ideas about what the noncommercial broadcaster ought to be doing. “We’re looking at a media landscape that’s going to change dramatically in the next five years, and public television and its member stations really need to look at some new ideas,” says new PBS president Pat Mitchell. “We need an infusion of outside thinking.” – Los Angeles Times 04/28/00
