Hollifield Jr. has served as the executive director-treasurer of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC) for the past 11 years. His vision for North Carolina Baptists is: “By God’s grace, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina will become the strongest force in the history of this convention for reaching people with the message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.” This vision has become the foundation for all ministry endeavors, including the current operating strategy of the convention. Strategy Statement In keeping with its stated mission, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina will assist the churches in evangelizing all people groups in every ethnic and/or cultural context by developing and applying disciple-making ministry models with an Acts 1:8 focus. North Carolina Baptists commit to accomplish this by strengthening and planting churches through creating a disciple-making culture, utilizing a relationship-driven consulting model incorporating generalists and specialists, starting in the most concentrated areas of lostness located in eight population centers. The five-year strategy, “Impacting Lostness through Disciple-making,” was approved by the board in May 2013. Implementation began in January 2014. A team of strategy coordinators serves in population centers across the state where concentrated pockets of lostness have been identified. They assist the convention specialists and the local churches in implementing the strategy. Currently, the coordinators are located in the Blue Ridge (Asheville), Coastal (Jacksonville and Wilmington), Fayetteville, Greenville, Metro Charlotte, Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point), Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill) and Unifour (Hickory) areas. A Hispanic coordinator rounds out the team to increase their statewide presence and capabilities of reaching the lost. In late 2015, a Board of Directors Meetings Evaluation Task Force was appointed to research and evaluate how the board meetings could operate more efficiently and effectively, with the goal of aligning the meetings with the convention strategy.

  • Media Sustainability Index – Russia 2017
    As a 2016 Mediastandart Foundation survey confirmed, the vast majority of Russian journalists feel that they are not free and independent, and believe that media owners undermine the independence of journalists. RUSSIA ii MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2017 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 1.43 RUSSIA In 2016, in preparation for the September Duma legislature elections, Russian authorities continued to build up pressure on independent media. In March 2016, national NTV aired a documentary, “In Debt to the State Department,” which claimed that the US government dictates the editorial policies of several regional independent private media outlets. In June, the Iprivate national RBC media holding let go of its editor-in-chief and her deputies after they ran a series of investigative reports about senior Russian officials and their family members. Economic decline triggered by European Union (EU) and US sanctions slowed down, and the Russian advertising market started to recover in the past year. But while television and Internet advertising increased, newspapers continued losing advertising revenue. Print media generally continued to lose circulation revenue because of rising paper prices and a diminishing number of kiosks. Russia has many media outlets that are owned by national, regional, and local authorities and state-affiliated businesses; these serve government interests. Such outlets outnumber the independent media that serve the public interest. As a 2016 Mediastandart Foundation survey confirmed, the vast majority of Russian journalists feel that they are not free and independent, and believe that media owners undermine the independence of journalists. Although state subsidies to the media decreased, this funding has continued to be a substantial source of revenue for media outlets, influencing the content of media coverage.
