PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE
~North Dakota Broadcasters “What do I like about the service. Everything.” “It provides stories that sometimes aren’t on the regular newscasts. It’s a service to smaller stations like us.” “Keep up the good work. Easy to use and stories of state and local interest.” Destination: “It’s an excellent service. Good, timely stories. Keep it going!” An Informed Citizenry “We’ve had a number of issues where mainstream media helps create public Making perception anecdotally, instead of using hard facts and comprehensive data. Educated PNS has allowed us to bring balance and accuracy to the airwaves, and is really a voice for consumers and ‘the little guy.’” Decisions ~Paula Grosinger, North Dakota Trial Lawyers
“As the media downsizes local operations and gets more and more consolidated, journalists have less connection with real people — the news service has helped us break through into mainstream media on issues that wouldn’t otherwise be covered, and gets public interest points of view out to the community.” ~Don Morrison, North Dakota Progressive Coalition
