COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY (9/1/03-8/31/04)

FOX6 WBRC

WBRC conducts informal community meetings primarily to better understand issues that are affecting the community. Because of Birmingham’s history as the center of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute Movement, community issues such as urban education, mass transit, affordable healthcare and race relations are all extremely important to better understand how to effectively cover the local area.

• FOX6 HELPING SCHOOLS (Fall) Met weekly for eight weeks (September 4, 2003 – October 23, 2003) with the Jefferson County Board of Education to plan FOX6 Helping Schools. At this event, community volunteers painted, cleaned and landscaped four area schools. FOX6 began this program in October of 1998 and has helped improve the environment of 78 urban/county schools. To date over 47,300 volunteers have participated.

• FOX6 GIFTS FOR KIDS Met weekly for 16 weeks (September 9, 2003 – December 19, 2003) to plan and execute the FOX6 Gifts for Kids Program.

• LEADERSHIP BIRMINGHAM GOVERNMENT DAY/LEGACY DAY As a graduate of Leadership Birmingham, GM Dennis Leonard planned the 2003 - 2004 program year and co-chaired Government Day for 45 members of the class.

Dennis also planned a Legacy Day of community service for all 20 classes of Leadership Birmingham

• CAHABA GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL Met with and established a marketing plan with the Cahaba Girl Scout Council to more effectively raise the awareness of the leadership skills developed in various girl scout programs.

• RENEW OUR RIVERS Held an eight-week river clean-up program called “Renew Our Rivers” during April & May of 2004. The goal was to have hundreds of volunteers remove thousands of pounds of trash from our area waterways to reduce pollution. Over 2.5 tons of trash was removed.

• BIRMINGHAM URBAN MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE Held four informational meetings with Birmingham’s Urban Ministerial Alliance to hear concerns about rising urban violence, declining educational standards and the need for better race relations.

• JUNETEENTH Worked with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to promote “Juneteenth -the End of Slavery” as an annual program commemorating the end of slavery.

• FRED SHUTTLESWORTH AWARDS DINNER Worked with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to promote and cover their annual Fred Shuttlesworth Awards Dinner.

In April of 2003, we produced and aired a 30-minute documentary on Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth’s historic life.

• WHAT’S RIGHT WITH OUR SCHOOLS Regularly met with area public school superintendents to understand the deficiencies they face and the positive programs they have, which rarely see sunlight. FOX6 created a twice weekly franchise, “What’s Right with our Schools”

to cover the positive side of what is going on in area classrooms. We have produced over 650 of these “What’s Right” segments.

• FCC KIDS INFORMATION Aired monthly notices regarding children’s programming information.

• EMERGENCY ALERTS Aired monthly emergency test alerts.

• FOX6 NEWSROOM The FOX6 WBRC assignment desk is the nucleus of the newsroom. The news department takes several phone calls a day from viewers who have news story tips.

The station is in partnership with the local United Way to take calls from viewers who have consumer complaints.

The news department has a beat system. Journalists in the newsroom are assigned to make phone calls to city and civic leaders. The system is both geographical and topical.

FOX6 WBRC solicits e-mails from viewers via the station’s web site. In addition to that, when reporters do live field reports, the station uses a name slate that features an e-mail address.

• Bill Bolen, Anchorman Anchorman Bill Bolen believes his contacts through talks at churches, schools, and civic clubs give him an opportunity to meet a good cross section of the community and learn of their needs and issues of importance. The Jail Ministry Board on which he serves brings him in contact with several people who share issues of importance.

• Steve Crocker, Anchorman During his first year in Birmingham, Steve Crocker has tried to learn the community and its concerns by volunteering at North Birmingham Elementary School. When he reads and talks to the children weekly, he gains a perspective the students’ and teachers’ needs and concerns. Steve has also taken part in several community events. For example, he has served as Master of Ceremonies for banquets, luncheons and breakfast meetings linked to organizations/events including the 16th Street Baptist church, The Magic City Class (football game), and the African American Business Council.

• Janet Hall, Anchorwoman As a journalist, Anchorwoman Janet Hall feels a responsibility to be aware of issues throughout her community, not just the small circle of her personal interests. Therefore, by serving on various charitable boards, she has met people from all walks of life, and over the years, she has developed friendships that would never have come about otherwise. Through these acquaintances, she feels she has "eyes and ears" in places she might otherwise have no contact. A few examples: Through AIDSAlabama, Hall has contacts within the gay community. Through Urban Ministries, she has contacts within the poor inner city. Through The University of Alabama Board of Visitors, she has contacts within higher education.

These are connections that flow both ways. When she hears of an issue in one of these areas, she knows whom to call, and when an issue is brewing, these contacts know they can call her.

• Jeh Jeh Pruitt, Sports Reporter Sports Reporter Jeh Jeh Pruitt says he just tries to help anyone who calls and asks for help. He doesn’t do it by color or ethnicity – just by the importance of the organization and how much he believes in the cause.

• Scott Richards, Anchorman When Anchorman Scott Richards is invited to give a speech – unless the format prohibits it – he typically follows his remarks with a Q&A session to afford himself the opportunity to hear what is on the minds of people in the audience. He hears about issues of concern to them and he listens to concerns about FOX6 WBRC’s coverage of various issues.

Formal FOX6 events, such as appearances at City Stages, the Heritage Festival and the school clean-ups also give him an opportunity to meet people and interact and learn from them.

Other less formal ways of communicating with people in the viewing audience include – taking viewers’ phone calls, answering their e-mails and letters.

Richards says the least formal way is speaking to people when he runs normal errands around town. When they recognize him, sometimes they just want to say hello, while others bring up issues or questions on their minds. He tries to take the time to have a conversation and answer their question(s).

• Ronda Robinson, Consumer Reporter Consumer Reporter Ronda Robinson determines issues of importance when she hears the same issues come up over and over at different times among different groups. She communicates with a cross section of minority and mainstream groups.

• Atticus Rominger, Reporter News Reporter Atticus Rominger attends countless meetings during the course of a week, at which he speaks with community leaders and community members. In addition, he also keeps in regular contact with other sources that keep him abreast of the issues and events in their communities.

• Sarah Verser, Anchorwoman Anchorwoman Sarah Verser communicates with several groups, getting ideas about important issues at speaking engagements. She gets feedback from people by e- mail, on the streets, and at church.
