The Conclave will present the 2019 Rockwell Award to Jacobs, President of Jacobs Media & jacapps, during The Conclave’s 44th Summer Learning Conference on June 20, 2019 at its new location, Delta Hotels Minneapolis Northeast. Since 1989, The Conclave has presented The Rockwell Award, which is a lifetime achievement award to an individual of unquestioned accomplishment.
Jacobs began his broadcasting career in radio sales in Detroit, at WNIC and WRIF. He then moved into station management in Dallas at KZEW, and back in Detroit at WDFX, prior to joining his brothers Fred and Bill at Jacobs Media, a consulting and research company. Since 1991, Jacobs has helped steer the company. He is also the past Board Chair of Greater Public, an organization that helps public radio and television stations in their financial development, and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping young broadcasters at the start of their careers.
In 2016, he was inducted into the Michigan Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
Conclave Board Chair, Lori Lewis said: “The Rockwell Award honors those who have made a lasting impact on our storied industry. Paul has, and continues, to do just that.”
“Receiving this award is truly rewarding and a high mark in my career in radio,” said Jacobs. “I have been a big fan of the work the leaders of The Conclave had done for our industry for decades, and to be acknowledged by them is truly an honor.”
