TAB offers background briefing for newsrooms on upcoming 84th Texas Legislature

The upcoming 84^th Texas Legislature will provide Texas radio and TV stations with multiple opportunities for news coverage.  

Texas faces a number of daunting statewide and local issues that lawmakers will attempt to tackle in the regular and, potentially, special sessions.       

TAB wants to encourage more coverage of the Texas Legislature and has arranged a free webinar this Thursday to provide background, tools and insights into covering lawmakers and the issues at the Capitol.  

Think of it as your station’s legislative coverage background briefing.

Sign up today for this special online TAB webinar – Covering the 84^th Texas Legislature.  

The webinar takes place on Thursday, Dec. 18 at 11:00 a.m. CST and will last one hour.

Here are just a few of the things the webinar will cover:

• next session's "lay of the land” – the internal factors that will affect the outcome of the regular session
• the logistics of covering the session for a day or multiple days
• insights and tips from veterans who cover this beat
• free online tools for identifying and tracking bills moving through the Legislature, as well as researching lawmakers, districts and issues
• background on what are expected to be the top issues lawmakers will tackle, as well as minor issues that will gain notoriety, but will not make it to the governor’s desk for signature.

This TAB webinar is a FREE online service, arming you with the latest information and tips, right at your desktop.    

There is no limit to the number of station staff who can sign up for this offering.
