WASHINGTON, D.C.—The NAB Television Board of Directors has announced that they have adopted a policy statement reaffirming the association’s commitment to protecting viewers’ access to live, local broadcast stations and the local journalism and information those news operations freely provide.
“NAB is the voice of local broadcast stations that are serving the public in critical ways,” said Joint Board chair Perry Sook, chair of Nexstar Media Group, Inc. “While certain NAB members may have additional media interests, this trade association’s mission is to protect consumer access to the trusted news and content broadcast stations provide to local communities in this age of misinformation and disinformation. Local journalism is the bedrock of our democracy and our advocacy agenda will be guided by this singular purpose. This policy statement reaffirms that mission.”
