BEA, BookCon Partner with PBS for Show Coverage

BookExpo America and BookCon are partnering with PBS Book View Now to introduce content programming and livestream support at this year's event in Chicago. Under the partnership, PBS Book View will produce three PBS Presents panels--featuring authors representing children's, YA and women's fiction--and livestream interviews with bestselling authors. Livestream coverage will be available online via BEA, PBS.org and BookViewNow.org., as well as many public media station websites and other distribution partners.

"Our partnership with PBS and the dynamic content it'll create represents the next step in our ambitious coverage plans for BookExpo America & BookCon," said BEA event director Brien McDonald. "Book View Now is a powerful platform that supports our missions of maximizing views for the fantastic authors that appear at our events and driving the national dialog on books."

In addition to the PBS Presents stages, PBS will again provide live stream coverage from the PBS Book View Now livestream set on the BEA show floor. PBS coverage of BEA will be hosted by PBS Book View Now's Rich Fahle and Jeffrey Brown, the chief correspondent for arts, culture and society for PBS NewsHour. Fahle will also host live BookCon coverage.
