Promoting Your Good Work,
an NCO/NETA Conference Call

Discover how to tell your own story and effectively communicate the results of your engagement initiatives. NCO and NETA will co-sponsor Promoting Your Good Work, a conference call about creating stories of impact and getting them noticed within your station and in your community.

• Thursday, Nov. 15 at 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Central Time

The call is open to all stations.

PBS and the Knight Foundation just launched the MediaShift Idea Lab Blog, a place for top thinkers in the media to explore citizen news and online engagement. They–and you, if you wish–are reinventing ways to better serve local communities with innovative media. Check out the "Welcome" entry for an idea of what real-life community needs they're discussing.

In the story, Gerald Knight recalled a harsh winter in 1943 that sparked a friendship between two families – one Dutch and one American – that has lasted for generations. Read the story.
