Congratulations to Tim Fleischer, Jeff Stockton, and Larnce Barker for being selected for the 2016-2017 Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Media Honor Roll. Tim Fleischer is the editor-in-chief of the Salado Village Voice newspaper. Jeff Stockton and Larnce Barker are the announcers for the schoolboysports.com online broadcasts of our varsity football games.
Reporters have the power to shape community attitudes about public schools, and Media Honor Roll is a way for districts to recognize fair and balanced reporting about our schools.
The Media Honor Roll recognizes representatives in print, radio, television, and online media who (1) make the effort to get to know the superintendent, board president, district’s mission, and district’s goals; (2) report school news in a manner that is fair, accurate, and balanced; (3) give a high-profile position to good news about schools; (4) visit the schools; and (5) maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school representatives.
Tim Fleischer and the Salado Village Voice do a fantastic job of covering Salado students from Thomas Arnold Elementary School through Salado High School in the B Section “Salado Schools & Sports” of the newspaper every week. They thoroughly cover all of our students’ activities including academics, athletics, fine arts, and FFA/stock shows. This section also includes an updated list of the results of previous games and a schedule of upcoming games.
Jeff Stockton and Larnce Barker do an outstanding job of announcing all of our varsity football games on schoolboysports.com every Friday night. They also announced our baseball playoff games last spring. On Friday nights I attend both our volleyball and football games so I often listen to the first part of the football game as I am driving between the games. Their play by play announcing is very exciting and enthusiastic. They also record interviews with the players prior to the game that they broadcast during halftime.
Thank you to Tim Fleischer, Jeff Stockton, and Larnce Barker for the great job they do recognizing our Salado students!
