From Sponsoring "BEA Days" to offering scholarships and internship opportunities, state broadcaster associations are invaluable partners in our work as media educators. This panel showcases best practices based on the experiences of panelists from five states. Some faculty have worked closely with local media in their markets while others have connected with other faculty state broadcast educator associations. These are all strategies we want to share and celebrate during this panel discussion. Attendees should plan to take away at least TWO (2) ideas that they can implement in their state.
