Amy Shaw and the team at the Nine Network in St. Louis have posted a very cool video on community engagement.
Scene 1: A man, much in the vein of Ben Stein’s infamous economics teacher scene in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” drones on about ratios of public participation to community involvement as he taps the projected image of a PowerPoint slide with a ruler. Cut to…
Scene 2: Nine Network staff getting out of the office, convening conversations and listening to diverse voices in their local community.
Followed by…
Scene 3: Amy Shaw and President & CEO Jack Galmiche discussing how they understand the role that the station plays in their local community, and how they can work with other community institutions to strengthen the civic health of St. Louis and it’s citizens.
Hats off to the Nine Network; they sure know how to show and prove.
