In Seattle-Tacoma, a new series titled "UNCOVERED" has launched, presented by PBS Books and the Association of University Presses. The series aims to showcase notable books, authors, and compelling ideas from university press publications.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, September 11, 2026 — A new media series named “UNCOVERED” has been launched in the Seattle-Tacoma region, aiming to bring attention to the intellectual contributions found within university press publications. The series is a collaboration presented by PBS Books and the Association of University Presses.
The initiative is designed to spotlight significant books, influential authors, and compelling ideas that originate from university presses. These presses are often the primary publishers of scholarly research, academic texts, and specialized literature across a wide array of disciplines.
The stated objective of “UNCOVERED” is to make these academic and intellectual works more accessible and visible to a broader audience. University presses play a crucial role in academic discourse, fostering in-depth exploration of subjects that may not be covered by mainstream publishing.
Details regarding the specific format of the series, such as whether it will be broadcast on television, streamed online, or presented in another medium, were not immediately available. Similarly, the premiere date or the initial lineup of featured books and authors for “UNCOVERED” has not yet been announced. Information about the specific scope of “compelling ideas” that the series intends to explore was also not detailed in the initial announcement.
The Association of University Presses (AUP) is an organization that works to support university presses and promote the value of scholarly publishing. PBS Books is a platform associated with Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) dedicated to promoting reading and literary engagement. The partnership between these two entities suggests a focus on thoughtful, well-researched content intended to inform and engage viewers.
Further details on the series’ schedule, featured content, and how audiences can access “UNCOVERED” are expected to be released in the future. The series aims to bridge the gap between academic scholarship and public interest, offering a platform for the diverse voices and groundbreaking work produced by university presses.
