About PRX
PRX develops innovative approaches that enable talented creators and engaged institutions to bring compelling and significant stories to millions of people. First launched in 2003 as a project of the Station Resource Group in collaboration with Atlantic Public Media, PRX became an independent nonprofit organization in January 2009.For inquiries contact email and phone numbers are available on the website. PRX employs 12 people based principally at its offices in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. In addition to philanthropic support, PRX generates revenue from content distribution and licensing, web and mobile advertising, membership fees, and individual donations. The core PRX platform and services support broadcast and digital distribution through an open content marketplace for independent producers and local public radio stations. PRX has paid out over $1.5 million in licensing royalties to hundreds of stations and independent producers using the platform. PRX is an innovation lab for a number of public media projects including Generation PRX -- a network and resource center for youth media groups; the Public Radio Player -- an iPhone and Android application aggregating local station streams and on-demand content; and **REMIX** -- a national channel featuring diverse stories from and beyond the PRX content catalog. In June 2010 PRX was announced as a winner of the Knight Foundation's News Challenge for StoryExchange -- an open source collaboration with crowdfunding news startup Spot.us. As public broadcasting charts a course to a more expansive definition of a public media system, PRX plays an indispensable role as an effective collaborator and trusted intermediary, providing leadership and services to the field.
