NAPBA Meeting Saturday in Grand Island

This year's Nebraska Associated Press Broadcasters Association (NAPBA) meeting is Saturday at the Midtown Holiday Inn in Grand Island, Neb.

In addition to the annual AP business meeting featuring Nebraska Bureau Chief Tena Haraldson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln broadcasting professor Jerry Renaud will speak to attendees about the future of convergence in the age of podcasting.

The AP Broadcast awards will be handed out during an 11:30 a.m. luncheon before the day-long program concludes at 1:30o p.m. with a Republican gubernatorial candidate forum featuring Dave Heineman, Dave Nabity and Tom Osborne.

[Updated: March 31, 2:30 p.m.]
Broadcast news directors or an appointed media outlet representative may contact Sean Weide (sweide@envoyinc.com) Saturday with news of awards won and comments. Because The Reader is not an AP-member publication, it is not privy to the results in a timely fashion.
