MBA Members are invited to attend the Minnesota Broadcasters Association’s Ascertainment Meeting that will take place on Tuesday, August 5th in Duluth at KBJR-TV/KDLH-TV (246 S. Lake Ave. Duluth, MN 55802). Thank you to Todd Wentworth VP/General Manager for Gray Media Duluth for hosting the meeting! A variety of community organizations (civic and non-profit) representing the Northland will be given 25 minutes to speak to MBA Members about their mission, upcoming events, programs, and how broadcasters can work with them and their mission.
Serving and staying in touch with your community is a daily occurrence for you already, but this is an opportunity to further engage with the community and new organizations. While Quarterly Issues Programs do mention that stations are required to determine the issues of importance to their communities – and that formal meetings with community leaders (which used to be referred to as ascertainment meetings are one way to do that, this is also a good way to create news stories and community service opportunities.
Lunch will be provided.
