Ideas is a series of special one-hour programs produced and presented by WVIZ/PBS ideastream®. Topics for each episode are guided by ideastream’s “Listening Project,” a series of surveys, town hall meetings and other community-focused activities. Subjects such as education, the economy and jobs, the environment, economic development, civic affairs, and health and human services are prominently featured. Each Ideas episode also serves as the keystone for a compilation of related programming on 90.3 WCPN, WVIZ/PBS and content on ideastream websites. The goal of this program series is to focus audience attention on an issue or topic of broad community interest. These stories, segments, and entire programs are distinguished by their depth and quality of journalism and the creative storytelling ideastream audiences have come to expect and appreciate.

Advance Northeast Ohio
A massive campaign called "Voices and Choices" was launched nearly two years ago. The goal was to try and find out what 4 million of us here in Northern Ohio want to do to transform our sluggish economy. After many gatherings, meetings, surveys and town hall meetings, a plan was unveiled late last week. The new economic blueprint is called "Advance Northeast Ohio" and was announced at a press conference Friday in Akron at the John S. Knight Center. The plan focuses on four large targets: growing and attracting business, workforce preparation and educational excellence, growth through racial and economic inclusion, and government collaboration and efficiency.
