WMVS/Milwaukee: "Seeking Solutions: The Bridge" is a one-hour live program highlighting a fascinating, yet little-known grassroots civic effort coping with crime and education issues. At El Puente High School, former gang members, habitual truants, dropouts and delinquents are now graduating. These are youth who many might have considered uneducable. This school was started by educators who saw crime and social problems ripping apart their heavily Hispanic community. In the school, the strong social work component is an important part of the overall education program, and crucial to getting "at risk" kids back in school. Milwaukee Public Television's Web site, which receives more than 10,000 hits each day, will contain information, and hyperlinks for "Seeking Solutions".

WSBE/Rhode Island: "Seeking Solutions in Rhode Island" will be a live, one-hour town meeting concentrating on three areas of grassroots citizen successes in crime prevention in the state. Hosted by ABC's Meredith Vieira, the program will focus on violence in the workplace, violence in the school, and community involvement in police activities. Each segment will begin with a background video piece, produced in cooperation with the NBC affiliate, and will follow with town meeting discussion. Citizen and expert comments will come from a variety of sources: the on-site town hall, a satellite town meeting through ISDN computer connections, a Web site soliciting feedback, and e-mail from 10 regional discussion groups plus the television audience. WSBE has amassed 11 partners including local media and organizations. The public radio station will run stories in newscasts about the topics.

WXXI/Rochester, N.Y.: WXXI will create a live, one-hour interactive town meeting on violence solutions.

WXXI will produce a companion Web site featuring an on-line discussion area, links, video from the program, and a questionnaire to ascertain what parents and children know about each other's life. The station will conduct several non-broadcast town meetings.
