Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America A public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York reporting on the people, policy, issues and solutions surrounding poverty and opportunity in America.

Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America is WNET’s multi-platform public media initiative that aims to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of poverty on American society: what life is like below the poverty line, its impact on our economic security and on our children, and what has happened to our age-old dream of striving for a better life. We’ll also highlight solutions: what has worked – and what is working to bring people out of poverty – and what lessons we can and must learn for the future. Chasing the Dream news reports can be found online and on-air on PBS NewsHour Weekend, MetroFocus, Long Island Business Report, and NJTV News. The initiative will also include a signature nationally distributed one-hour documentary that will focus on one or more of the promises, pitfalls, and/or paradoxes in the search for the American dream and in-depth reporting on the ongoing economic challenges of Atlantic City as it struggles with the implosion of its casino industry and the loss of more than 8,000 jobs. Major funding for Chasing the Dream is provided by The JPB Foundation with additional funding from The Peter G. Peterson and Joan Ganz Cooney Fund, and Sue and Edgar Wachenheim, III.
