The purpose of this integrated cross media project is to build public knowledge and curiosity about energy science and policy, to encourage audience confidence in its abilities to understand energy related science, and to stimulate exchange between community-based experts. The deliverables include five hour-long radio programs focusing on the interconnected nature of waterways, climate systems, and energy sources; a digital journalism and social network site focusing on energy topics; partner-driven outreach with universities and local public radio stations; and a training workshop for ethnic media partners. The project targets public radio listeners, ethnic media readers, local urban and rural communities, and Internet users. Partner organizations include New American Media, a consortium of ethnic media producers, the University of Texas at Austin (which will provide content expertise as well as outreach assistance), local public radio stations, and scientific organizations. Intended impacts on the general audience include building their knowledge and interest in energy science and policy, and influencing their confidence in understanding energy science, technology and engineering, as well as empowering them to voice their opinions in energy policy discussions and to make changes in their lives that will support a sustainable energy future. It is estimated that five million people will access the radio programs and web content over the sustained life of the project. Professional audience impacts include building science journalism capacity and reciprocal relationships between general and ethnic news media, as well as stimulating exchange between subject experts (e.g., water engineers and geoscientists) and community experts (e.g., community organizers and backyard gardeners) who can inform energy reporting and open new areas of discussion in the energy debate. The evaluation plan uses both quantitative and qualitative data collection and quasi-experimental designs to examine the impact of this project on both public and professional audiences.

这个综合跨媒体项目的目的是建立公众对能源科学和政策的知识和好奇心，鼓励观众对其理解能源相关科学的能力的信心，并促进社区专家之间的交流。交付成果包括五个小时的广播节目，重点是水道，气候系统和能源的相互关联性;一个数字新闻和社交网络网站，重点是能源主题;与大学和当地公共广播电台的合作伙伴驱动的外联活动;以及为少数民族媒体合作伙伴举办的培训研讨会。该项目针对公共广播听众、少数民族媒体读者、当地城乡社区和互联网用户。伙伴组织包括新美国媒体，一个少数民族媒体制作人联合会，得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（将提供内容专门知识和外联援助），地方公共广播电台和科学组织。对普通受众的预期影响包括建立他们对能源科学和政策的知识和兴趣，影响他们对理解能源科学、技术和工程的信心，以及使他们能够在能源政策讨论中发表意见，并改变他们的生活，支持可持续的能源未来。据估计，在该项目的持续生命周期内，将有500万人访问广播节目和网络内容。专业观众的影响包括建立科学新闻能力和一般和民族新闻媒体之间的互惠关系，以及刺激学科专家之间的交流（例如，水工程师和地球科学家）和社区专家（例如，社区组织者和后院园丁），他们可以为能源报告提供信息，并在能源辩论中开辟新的讨论领域。评价计划采用定量和定性数据收集和准实验设计，以审查该项目对公众和专业受众的影响。
