The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has issued an election preparedness initiative designed to provide broadcasters with the critical resources, tools, and training needed to navigate the complexities of the 2024 election cycle.
“This is a critical time for our nation and our democracy. Broadcast journalists serve a pivotal role in educating voters on the candidates, the issues and the electoral process, and NAB is here to support them in these efforts,” said NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt. “As bad actors increasingly use advanced technologies to create and spread disinformation, the role of local broadcasters as custodians of the truth has never been more important.”
NAB’s election preparedness initiative includes three core elements:
Digital Resources
Virtual Learning Event: On September 9, NAB, in partnership with the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA)
Election Coverage Summit at NAB Show New York
