Annual Reports
WPR’s annual reports cover highlights from the year as well as public notice reports. All annual reports are in PDF format.
Ethical Guidelines
Wisconsin Public Radio and PBS Wisconsin regularly review their institutional editorial ethics framework. Public radio and public television journalists and managers created a statement of our values and broad directions in a document known as “Principles of Editorial Integrity.” We have adapted and embraced this document as the framework for the specific guidance contained in our own WPR and PBS Wisconsin Editorial Integrity Policies and Editorial Practices.
- WPR Election Coverage Policy (June 2018 PDF)
- WPM Editorial Practices (Nov 2019 PDF)
- WPM Disclosure Policy (Nov 2019 PDF)
- Wisconsin Public Media Code of Ethics (April 2024 PDF)
