Meredith Corporation Local Media Group President Paul Karpowicz will receive the 2017 Golden Mike Award from the Broadcasters Foundation of America. Meredith’s Local Media Group includes 17 television stations.
Broadcasters Foundation Chairman Dan Mason said, “Paul is an industry leader who has given back to the broadcast community through his dedication and service. A tireless champion of the Broadcasters Foundation of America, Paul’s contributions have advanced our goal of providing important aid to our colleagues. We are proud to recognize him.”
“I am grateful to the Broadcasters Foundation for this honor, and I thank the board for their deep commitment to colleagues in need,” said Karpowicz. “The pleas for aid come in every day. It is with the generous support of broadcasters across the country that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of those who find themselves in devastating circumstances.”
The annual black-tie gala will be held Monday, February 27 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. It’s a major fundraiser for the charity’s mission of providing aid to broadcasters in need.
