Lehigh Valley Public Media

Lehigh Valley Public Media (LVPM) is a community-owned, nonprofit public media organization serving eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. It is headquartered at the Univest Public Media Center on the SteelStacks campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a building recognized with the ULI Global Award for Excellence and the Rudy Bruner Award.

LVPM is home to PBS39 (WLVT-TV), the Lehigh Valley's PBS member station, which began broadcasting on September 7, 1965 and is licensed to Allentown; 91.3 WLVR, the region's NPR news station, owned by Lehigh University and operated with LVPM; and LehighValleyNews.com, the region's nonprofit, locally operated digital news platform. Its television channels include PBS39, PBS39 Extra and France 24, and its educational work includes PBS KIDS programming and partnerships with schools, colleges and community organizations.

The organization describes its mission as engaging everyone in the community through its public media resources to make the Lehigh Valley better tomorrow than it is today. It is supported by individual donors, sponsors, foundations and public funding, and it produces independent local news, community conversations and events alongside PBS and NPR programming.

LVPM hires across journalism and content, broadcast engineering and facilities, marketing and audience development, fundraising and development, community engagement and production, and offers internships in production, marketing, membership and events, and content.
