Media honored by local school districts

(Austin)—Media representatives from more than 400 Texas newspapers, radio and television stations, and online publications were named to the 2015-16 Media Honor Roll by their local school districts. Sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), the Media Honor Roll program recognizes repor ters statewide for fair, accurate, and balanced reporting of news about public schools. Criteria for the district selection included the media representative’s efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and the district’s mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate, and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school officials.
