Jessica McKinney of the Tri-County Reporter (formerly Azle News) was named to the 2023 Media Honor Roll, a program sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), by the Azle Independent School District. The Media Honor Roll recognizes media representatives statewide for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools. Media from newspapers, radio and television stations, and digital publications across the state were honored by their local school districts.
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.
Congratulations to Jessica and the Tri-County Reporter!
