Our Commitment to Local Stories That Define Our World
Comcast NBCUniversal’s business footprint spans the United States and six continents. We’re committed to uncovering and telling powerful stories happening in our communities – stories that provide greater context and insight into complex issues. By leveraging digital platforms including Comcast Newsmakers and Voices of the Civil Rights Movement, Comcast NBCUniversal connects worldwide audiences to diverse narratives from our nation’s colorful mosaic of local communities.
