The "Humankind" series and other public radio projects are produced and disseminated through an alliance of The Network, Inc. and Human Media.

The Network Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization incorporated in Massachusetts in 1974. Originally established to link innovative schools, the Network has evolved into a high-quality developer and distributor of educational materials, including public radio programs. Funders of our nationally broadcast projects have included the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the John Templeton Foundation, the Colombe Foundation, the Compton Foundation and others. Our educational programs have aired in almost all major U.S. cities, as well as throughout Canada and Australia. Many programs are also available online as well as on audio CD and cassette.

Human Media (Far Reaching Communications Inc.) is a small, independent production house which performs public broadcasting production and distribution activities in association with The Network and others. We view the exciting, evolving apparatus of mass communications as an unprecedented opportunity for public service that can help to build a more cohesive sense of community. Our vision of community is based on personal ideals and values, such as compassion, service, generosity and equality. We aim to serve the large and growing audience of people who seek a positive alternative to media negativity and exploitation. Human Media attempts to address -- and call forth -- the highest part of people.
