EDUCATION

Election Toolkit

NAB’s Election Toolkit provides broadcasters with ideas to promote voter registration, education and turnout in support of broadcasters’ commitment to driving civic participation and educating voters.

• When it comes to informing and motivating citizens, no platform has more influence or is more trusted than broadcast radio and television.
  
• The toolkit included broadcast-ready spots in English and Spanish to promote a nonpartisan message of voter registration and turnout.

Vaccine Education Toolkit

Working with the Department of Health and Human Services, NAB continuously updated its online vaccine education toolkit to help stations educate their audiences on the facts about COVID-19 vaccines.

• The toolkit provides information and resources to create news reports, public service announcements and other messages to educate Americans about the importance of getting vaccinated.

Broadcast Education

NAB provides educational tools, including free podcasts, public policy issues briefings, regulatory guidelines for radio stations, digital publications for broadcasters and much more.

In 2022, the NAB Podcast featured Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Deanne Criswell and White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha.

NAB members receive these educational resources for free or at deeply discounted prices. To learn more about NAB member benefits, please visit nab.org/membership or contact the NAB Member Concierge at (202) 775-2555.
