Stories about South Dakota are best told by the people who live here.
The goal of SDPB’s Coming Home South Dakota project is to learn more about South Dakotans – our values, our concerns, our joys, and our challenges – to better serve South Dakota. Middle America can be overlooked or under-represented in national media. As local news becomes more scarce, SDPB is reaching out to groups and individuals throughout the state to learn more about our rural communities first-hand. Supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, SDPB is conducting a statewide survey, compiling research, conducting community conversations, and encouraging intergenerational discussions at kitchen tables throughout South Dakota to better understand who we are and how best to tell our stories.
