"We're in a moment of, unregulated, algorithmically driven media for children. And more and more companies are backing away from kids content. In this moment, we need to be there for our children and support them as young citizens, not as consumers. And PBS Kids will continue to step up for them." đź’–

––Sara DeWitt, Senior Vice President and General Manager of PBS KIDS. 🏆
