My final project took me in an interesting direction. I decided to look at Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) in the UK. I had no idea about the vast difference between their structures in the UK versus the US. When I think of the term public broadcasting, I immediately think of PBS. As important as PBS is to the fabric of American culture, PSB’s are far more important to the general public in Britain. I have attached my Powerpoint presentation on my in-depth look at the importance of PSB’s in the United Kingdom. Click below to download the presentation:

Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO)
There is a wonderful organization that helps build community through their efforts, called the Association for Enterprise Opportunity. They were recently highlighted as a resource on a recent episode of the Today Show. Click below to view the segment:

They also recently published a document listing the top ten reasons why microenterprise matters more than ever to America. Click below to view the document:
Top 10 Reasons Microenterprise Matters
Their website is http://www.microenterpriseworks.org/. As an owner of a small business, I wish I had known about this organization sooner. This is certainly a viable way to help foster community from the ground up.
