Public Media Platform
The Public Media Platform is an API supporting the discovery and distribution of public media stories. Built in collaboration with the major public media producers, PMP is now managed and supported by NPR.
Digital content from major public media networks--NPR, PRI, PRX, APM--, as well as many public radio and television stations, can be accessed from one common source, the PMP. Stations and other organizations can now pull this content—using their existing content management systems (CMS)—onto their sites and mobile platforms so that stories from different sources can live side-by-side.
In addition to providing a digital distribution system, the PMP offers business rules and rights management and the tools and applications that make it easy to put content in or pull it out.
The PMP lowers costs for digital distribution by creating an efficient resource for the benefit of all in public media.
The PMP also creates new possibilities for more innovation and future collaboration among those that produce public media, and also allows anyone using the PMP to distribute their content throughout the system.
