Public goods are shared resources and services that are available to everyone and build communities. HPPR is such a public good, providing the High Plains with factual, in-depth and impartial news and information, timeless and inspiring music, and programming exploring and celebrating the history, cultures and community life of the High Plains. It seeks to serve the region as a public forum, performance hall, library, continuing education center and virtual highway to new places, all wrapped into one and open to all, 24 hours a day.
