A New Year Makeover for Your Estate Plan Along with your New Year’s resolution to exercise more, take a few moments to reflect on your current will or estate plan. A good estate plan is like a mirror: it should reflect your values and relationships in their highest, best and most current form. But change is a constant. Millions of Americans experience dramatic changes in their financial assets, living arrangements and other life circumstances. Are you one of them? Simple changes in your life can have a significant impact on your estate plan. Have you moved? Bought or sold property? Has someone in your life passed away? Have you remarried? Do you have new grandchildren? Has your health changed? If so, how will those changes affect your legacy? Can you still recognize your best self—and the legacy you want to leave—in your current estate plan? A sound plan will provide peace of mind and clarity of intent. As you create or review your estate plan, remember to consider creating a personal legacy through a charitable gift. Naming a WTIU, or other charitable organizations, in your will is an ideal way to make a statement of your support for the fine work that is done by public broadcasting in our community every day. Visit wtiu.org/support for more information about giving opportunities at WTIU.

Announcing the 3rd Annual NPR Student Podcast Challenge The NPR Student Podcast Challenge is back for its third year, with a big new addition: the competition now includes college students. NPR will host, in effect, two contests: the traditional Student Podcast Challenge with two categories: grades five through eight and nine through 12; and the new SPC: College Edition. All students, regardless of age, pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, can apply. For collegiate podcasters, NPR has a separate set of rules and procedures at npr.org/921143789. The rules for the middle and high school contest are available at npr.org/studentpodcastchallenge. As in the past, entries from middle and high school students will come from a teacher or a student leader who’s a grown-up. College students—as long as you’re 18 years or older—can enter on their own. Entries for the SPC: College Edition are open now through February 15, 2021. For middle and high school students, entries will open on January 1, and close on March 15.

PBS American Portrait
Tuesdays at 9pm, beginning January 5 The series presents a mosaic of the country’s diversity, allowing people from all regions to appreciate what we have in common as well as the many differences that make up the American experience. American Portrait has immersive interactivity built into its DNA, featuring usergenerated content captured through video, photo, and text submissions shared directly from everyday people across the United States.
American Portrait, a national storytelling project aligned with PBS’s 50th anniversary celebration, brings a multiplatform project in history to viewers around the country. A digital-first initiative produced by RadicalMedia, American Portrait began as a platform for user-generated content participation, and encompasses publishing, short form content, classroom engagement, a web miniseries, public art installations, live events, and a nationally televised documentary series.
Connecting tens of thousands of people across the country and creating a communal voice through individual stories of joy, hardship, triumphs, and sorrow, American Portrait captures the depth and breadth of the American experience, from all corners of the country. Participants tell and share their own stories, and see the stories shared by a wide panorama of Americans, which explore the series’ central question—“what does it really mean to be an American today?”
