Our Operating Principles
Public Service Committed: We strive for excellence in the quality and credibility of the programs we acquire and produce, as well as the reliability of our broadcast service. We organize work processes, procedures, resources and priorities around audience service.
Outcome Driven: We approach every task with a clear goal in mind and habitually ask the question, “What is the outcome we are looking for?” We recognize that every action, activity and communication produces an outcome and we are purposeful about the outcome we seek.
Performance Focused: We focus on quality performance and optimal efficiency by setting clear expectations, providing needed resources, establishing goals, structuring our work habits and prioritizing our tasks. Each person is held accountable for their outcomes and is recognized for their achievements.
Collaboration and Respect: We accomplish tasks while respecting differences in approach, style, work loads and assignments. We are mindful of individual differences. We promote the importance of collaboration and we seek out opportunities to contribute to public service.
