I. PBS Moves Broadcast to April 2004
============================================================
THE NEW AMERICANS outreach team has just returned from the PBS Annual
Meeting, where it was announced that THE NEW AMERICANS broadcast date has been changed. The new broadcast will be in April 2004. PBS will announce exact airdates later this year.

We recognize that our funders, station partners and national partners have been working very hard toward developing outreach and education
initiatives in line with the fall 2003 broadcast. Changing the broadcast can be very challenging, and the outreach team is committed to supporting all the efforts that are currently in place. We will provide you with the resources necessary for successful activities and outcomes through the April 2004 broadcast.

If you're concerned about how this schedule change will affect your
outreach plans, please contact one of the outreach teams and we'll assist you in whatever way we can.
