Abstract:
The purpose of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Media Program is to raise awareness of the United States’ scientific and operational activities in the Arctic region and in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Members of the media can apply and be selected for the program whose reporting targets these activities and covers multiple media channels that will reach large and targeted audiences. This program supports the President's Memorandum Regarding Antarctica, Memorandum 6646, that “The United States Antarctic Program shall be maintained at a level providing an active and influential presence in Antarctica designed to support the range of U.S. Antarctic interests.”
