« Gaza, bombardée et affamée par le siège israélien » titre le Monde. « La population impuissante supporte l'insupportable », ajoute le quotidien français, citant un Gazaoui désespéré. « Depuis le 2 mars, c'est-à-dire depuis 2 mois », précise le Monde « aucun camion commercial ou humanitaire n'est entré dans l'enclave palestinienne (…) plus rien n'entre dans le territoire supplicié : ni nourriture, ni médicament, ni carburant ».  « Après deux mois de siège total par Israël, Gaza est bord du gouffre », renchérit le Temps. « Les soupes populaires », sur lesquelles comptent de nombreux habitants de Gaza pour s'alimenter, « sont à court de nourriture », explique le quotidien suisse, « alors que 90 % de la population dépend exclusivement de l'aide alimentaire », et que le PAM, le Programme Alimentaire Mondial, « a fait savoir il y a une semaine qu'il avait effectué sa dernière livraison ».Et puis « rode ce sentiment terrible d'abandon », ajoute le Monde. Interrogé par téléphone, un pharmacien se plaint que « le monde ne semble pas dérangé qu'il y ait 50 morts par jour dans les bombardements ». « On ne voit aucune véritable pression pour mettre fin au blocus de Gaza », regrette Ziad, un professeur de français.  « Ni des Nations unies, ni des pays occidentaux, ni de voisins comme l'Égypte et la Jordanie ».Option juridiqueÀ la Une également, en ce 3 mai, la Journée Mondiale de la liberté de la presse. Journée choisie par le Washington Post, pour parler « des médias publics américains, prêts à lutter contre l'ordre de Donald Trump visant à couper les fonds de PBS et NPR », autrement dit la télé et la radio publiques, que le président américain accuse d'assurer une couverture médiatique, « biaisée et partisane ». D'où l'ordre de couper les fonds des médias publics. « Une mesure manifestement illégale », estime Paula Kerger, présidente-directrice générale de PBS, qui déclare « étudier toutes les options ». Parmi elles, l'option juridique.Selon des juristes cités par le Washington Post, Donald Trump a peut-être « outrepassé ses pouvoirs » et « violé le premier amendement » (qui garantit notamment la liberté de la presse). Le président américain n'en est pas à son coup d'essai « puisqu'il est déjà empêtré », rappelle le Washington Post, « dans une bataille judiciaire visant à interdire l'accès de la Maison Blanche à l'Associated Press ». Sans oublier que la justice américaine a ordonné à Donald Trump, le rétablissement de Voice of America, la radio-télévision de l'Amérique à l'étranger, dont il a également décidé de couper les fonds.RassembleurEn France, le journal La Croix dresse le portrait du futur pape. Le journal catholique a rencontré 15 cardinaux, qui, nous dit-on, « dévoilent le portrait-robot du futur pape », lequel, estime un cardinal italien, devra d'abord être « un pasteur », « cette semaine l'en a persuadé, la baisse progressive du nombre de catholique ne sera bientôt plus l'affaire de l'Occident seul, dit-il ». « Le Collège des cardinaux », ajoute la Croix « semble aujourd'hui chercher quelqu'un de peu jargonneux, théologiquement solide, mais surtout à même d'aller au contact du terrain ».« Le futur pape », précisent de leur côté certains cardinaux, « ne devrait pas être trop jeune ». « Est-ce que l'on veut vraiment repartir pour un pontificat de 25 ans, comme au temps de Jean-Paul II », interroge l'un d'entre eux. « Il lui faudra la santé physique quand même », insiste un autre. « La tâche est écrasante ». Enfin, d'où viendra le successeur de François ? Le cardinal autrichien Christoph Schönborn estime que « L'Asie et l'Afrique influenceront l'avenir de l'Eglise, ce n'est pas une idée, mais un fait » ajoute-t-il. Les cardinaux souhaitent aussi « un rassembleur », « une figure de compromis », « quelqu'un qui sache écouter tout le monde », « un homme fort, mais doux ». La mission s'annonce difficile. Le conclave pour désigner le successeur de François commencera jeudi prochain.  Et il durera jusqu'à ce qu'une fumée blanche annonce l'élection d'un nouveau pape.

The Earthshot Prize, founded by Britain's Prince William to honor groundbreaking solutions to environmental issues, broadcasted its second ceremony on PBS and the BBC. William, who launched the global prize with The Royal Foundation, joined the event filmed on Dec. 2 in Boston and aired Dec. 4 on Britain's BBC. On Dec. 5, it streamed on PBS.org, the PBS app and PBS YouTube channel, and on The Earthshot Prize YouTube channel. PBS stations will also air the ceremony on Dec. 14. In a statement, BBC executive Jack Bootle said last year's inaugural ceremony included “big-name stars and brilliant musical acts. This year's will be every bit as spectacular.” The prize, inspired by and with a name echoing President John F. Kennedy's 1961 challenge to America to land a man on the moon by that decade's end, aims to “discover and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet within the next decade,” according to a release. Each of this year's five winners will receive $1 million to accelerate their projects aimed at the prize's 2030 goals: protecting and restoring nature; cleaning the air; reviving the oceans; building a waste-free world, and fixing the climate. “We support the mission of The Earthshot Prize and are looking forward to creating year-round content that showcases the work of the individuals and teams who are working to protect the planet with breakthrough innovations,” Paula Kerger, PBS president and CEO, said in a statement.

Streaming is upending the media landscape, including public television. Its funding model, local structure and social mandate make broadcaster PBS unlike any other U.S outlet. Its longest-serving boss, Paula Kerger, discusses the challenges and possibilities of the new era. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

More than 50 years after the establishment of the Public Broadcasting Act, which set the foundation for PBS and NPR, the media landscape has changed in ways that advocates for these services never could have imagined. Yet their vision for a noncommercial broadcasting system that takes risks and addresses the needs of the public has endured. Paula Kerger, PBS CEO and president, joins Michael Isip, KQED president and CEO, and John Boland, KQED president emeritus, to discuss the future of public media amidst great technological, political and environmental upheaval. With much of the traditional local news space shrinking and with trust in news at an all-time low, how are PBS and public media affiliates such as KQED adapting to serve communities? How can stations and audiences respond to attacks on the free press? And how are these organizations changing with their audiences and the ways they consume media? Speaker details: Having joined PBS in March 2006, Kerger is the longest-serving president and CEO in PBS history. Among her accomplishments are the pop culture phenomenon “Downton Abbey” on "Masterpiece"; Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's critically acclaimed The Vietnam War; the documentary Hamilton's America, about the Broadway smash hit musical, on "Great Performances"; “Freedom Riders” on "American Experience"; and award-winning children's programs such as “Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.” Kerger is regularly included in the Hollywood Reporter's “Women in Entertainment Power 100,” an annual survey of the nation's top women executives in media, as well as Washingtonian magazine's Most Powerful Women in Washington. Isip became KQED's seventh president on April 10. Isip has almost a quarter century of media experience and has played a critical role in KQED's growth and transformation into a 21st century multimedia organization. He joined KQED in 2001 as an executive producer in television and has since served in a number of senior level roles, including senior vice president and chief content officer as well as executive vice president and chief operating officer. Isip's most impactful contributions to KQED was reorganizing the content division away from distribution platforms (TV, radio, online) to a structure of multimedia teams in news, arts, science and education. This restructure facilitated greater collaboration across KQED and increased digital content and services. Boland is president emeritus at KQED. He served as the organization's president and chief executive officer from March 2010 through March 2019. Before returning to KQED, he served for four years as the first chief content officer of the national PBS. Prior to his tenure at PBS, Boland served in several executive positions at KQED for more than a decade, including executive vice president and chief operating officer; and vice president of marketing, development and communications. He also created the role of chief content officer at KQED in 2002—the first such position in public media. At KQED, he led a strategic transformation from a traditional public broadcasting service to a twenty-first century public media organization that combines mobile, social and online media with robust digital radio and television broadcasting. He has been a newspaper publisher and owner, a senior executive with two major international marketing and communications firms, and publisher of San Francisco Focus (now San Francisco magazine).

Paula Kerger, the president and CEO of PBS, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about the state of public media as President Trump is trying to cut its federal funding. In this episode: How Kerger got to PBS 13 years ago; why running it is more like running a co-op than a normal company; the decline of local media; how public media is funded; bringing PBS into the digital age; why it’s backed off of Netflix in favor of competitors like Amazon; YouTube isn’t just a stepping-stone to TV; the commercial cable channels that gave up on PBS-style content; how important is broadcast for PBS’ future?; how it builds for mobile streaming; investigative journalism in VR; has content changed in the digital era?; kids’ shows like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood; Trump’s proposal to close the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; why that would hurt rural communities the most; why PBS is not “liberal”; and where will PBS be in 20 years?

The longtime president & CEO of PBS describes how she psyches herself up to fundraise, what businesses can do to foster talented women and how PBS has responded to the #MeToo movement. For 13 years, Paula Kerger has led PBS, making her one of the media industry's most powerful players — which is probably not something you expect to hear about someone who considers herself an introvert. In that time, she's led the organization through a lot — from the rise of online streaming services, to battles with the Trump administration over funding, to the “Me Too” movement, when sexual harassment allegations brought down one of PBS’s biggest stars: Charlie Rose. Through it all, PBS has remained a place known in the industry for the number of women in meaningful leadership roles — both on-camera and off. That’s by design. And Kerger sees that diversity as a fundamental component of PBS fulfilling its mission.

Adora Crellin is a difficult woman to love. The monstrously suffocating mother of Camille, the protagonist of HBO's terrific murder mystery miniseries Sharp Objects, Adora keeps finding ways to undercut her damaged daughters and to visit the deep-seated trauma in her soul upon the women who should be able to rely on her most. So just imagine playing Adora and how that might seep into your soul. Fortunately, we've got Patricia Clarkson, one of America's finest actors for portraying difficult, damaged mothers (who seem to pass along those qualities to their difficult, damaged daughters), in the role. She finds notes in Adora most actors wouldn't even look for. It's spellbinding work, among the best work in the esteemed actor's career, and she's been nominated for every award you can think of. Clarkson joined Todd this week to talk about knowing which moms are the right ones to play, what Sharp Objects gets right about the South, and which of her roles people most notice her for. And after that conversation, stick around for a chat about the state of the TV industry with PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

By many standards, PBS has had a pretty great 2010s. Downton Abbey was its biggest hit since The Civil War (which aired way back in 1990), Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election (and thus could never follow through on his threats against the broadcaster), and the network has gone from the 15th most watched to the 6th. But all of that fails to account for a budget released by the Trump administration that would cut the federal funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting completely. The budget hasn't become the law of the land yet -- and even if it seems like it might, PBS has plenty of friends in Congress -- but it's still the most embattled the network has been in many, many years. That's why Todd was so happy to have PBS's president and CEO, Paula Kerger, on the program to talk about what happens if the government stops funding PBS, how the network tries to serve everybody from digital streamers to rural antenna users, and just what it's like working with the famously prolific Ken Burns.
