The decision making is by consensus. All participants are themselves empowered. As it's presently constituted, public television is incapable of almost any kind of reporting on the sort of systemic critique that this global movement represents. We have a nominally public communication apparatus that is structurally imbedded in the corporate system. Any sustained critique of that system cannot take place within that apparatus.
Public broadcasting sees itself as an adversary to independent production.
In terms of video production, PBS stations have set themselves up as fortresses against not only independent producers but community groups of any stripe, except perhaps the Junior League or the chambers of commerce. What a contrast there is between the icy gloom of most publicly funded PBS station offices and the bustle and excitement of the many successful cable access centers. During the late 1970's the second Carnegie Commission sparked an occasion for activity in the critique and reform of public television. There was an impressive coalition of media producers, labor, women's organizations, civil rights activists, progressive religious organizations and others who came together to appeal first to the commission and then directly to Congress to take the need for an authentic public television seriously. However, as far as I know it is still a law, and if citizens get organized, this is quite an important tool for community groups to have at their disposal.
