If you’re ready to be a part of a growing, award winning news team, Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) wants to hear from you.

As live conferences and events continue to take a pause during the COVID-19 crisis, two leaders of public media organizations have put their heads together to create a solution for the entire industry. 

The latest installment in the Building Resilience webinar series was held on Tuesday, June 30 at 2 p.m. EST.  This week's topic was "The Imperative of Inclusion."  Guests Jordan Lee of Radio Milwaukee and Ju-Don Marshall of WFAE in Charlotte, North Carolina talked about how their two stations are working to improve culture - in their organizations and their communities - through some great efforts.

Traditionally, PMJA sets aside the two days prior to our annual conference to offer some in-depth training and professional development opportunities for our members.  We canceled our annual conference scheduled in Seattle this year due to the pandemic, but we are still offering several of these trainings to our members.

On Thursday, June 25th, PMJA Members came together virtually to honor award winners, bid a fond farewell to outgoing board members and welcome new board members.  But mostly, we gathered to hear from two amazing women in public media - Maria Hinojosa, the 2020 Leo C. Lee Award winner and Kate Concannon, the 2020 Editor of the Year.  

The latest in our Building Resilience webinar series took place on Tuesday, June 16 at 2 p.m.
