WHYY is a PBS-affiliate serving the Philadelphia-Delaware Valley. WHYY implemented a large scale rebranding strategy moving from a public television licensee to being known as a civic space. The concept of "civic space" can be defined as a location, literal or technological - where the community can go to communicate and become informed on matters of politics, culture and debate; while being offered opportunity for education and civic dialogue. With the rise of social media, WHYY needs a plan to utilize the social media technology and websites as a way to create a link with the community as is crucial in civic space. Social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, can offer unique opportunities to organize and inform the public. Sites like these can create multimedia outlets, dialogue, feedback and a sense of community interconnectivity. This thesis presents a plan for WHYY to incorporate these social network technologies to enhance their "civic space." By enhancing the use of social and digital media, WHYY will have the opportunity to revitalize community relations, community communication and community involvement.
