Frontline 2004 – Corporate Accountability |
Program Contribution |
To support Frontline 2004 - Corporate Accountability, to research and produce at least three in-depth documentaries that address important issues related to corporate and government accountability as well as conducting research for three additional investigative documentaries in the areas of health, environment and religion. Frontline is uniquely positioned to tackle difficult subjects and present balanced representations of the issues. In 2002-2003 NCF supported a Frontline program that investigated one of America's most dangerous industries by profiling two companies; one in which flagrant environmental and safety violations have resulted in serious harm to workers and the environment, as well as a corporation that was acting more responsibly. The broadcast was complemented by a web site, a multi-part series in The New York Times, extensive "tune-in" ads in the newspaper, and a national promotion campaign in the week before the show aired.
