Channel 8 KLKN-TV Annual EEO Report 2015-2016

Annual EEO Public File Report

                  The purpose of this EEO Public File Report (“Report”) is to comply with Section 73.2080(c)(6) of the FCC’s 2002 EEO Rule.  This Report has been prepared on behalf of the Station’s Employment Unit that is comprised of television station KLKN-TV, Lincoln, NE and is required to be placed in the public inspection file of this station, and posted on its web site.

      The information contained in this Report covers the time period beginning February 1, 2015 to and including January 31, 2016 (the “Applicable Period”).

      The FCC’s 2002 EEO Rule requires that this Report contain the following information:

1.   A list of all full-time vacancies filled by the Station Employment Unit during the Applicable Period;

2.   For each such vacancy, the recruitment resource(s) utilized to fill the vacancy (including, if applicable, organizations entitled to notification pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(1)(ii) of the new EEO Rule, which should be separately identified), identified by name, address, contact person and telephone number;

3.   The recruitment source that referred the hiree for each full-time vacancy during the Applicable Period;

4.   Data reflecting the total number of persons interviewed for full-time vacancies during the Applicable Period and the total number of interviewees referred by each recruitment source utilized in connection with such vacancies: and

5.   A list and brief description of the initiatives undertaken pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(2) of the FCC rules.

      Appendices 1, 2 and 3 which follow have been designed, in the aggregate, to provide the required information.  Please note that the numbers listed in Appendix 2 under the column entitled “Full-time Positions for Which This Source Was Utilized” refer to the number of the full-time job positions listed on Appendix 1.

      For purposes of this Report, a vacancy was deemed “filled” not when the offer was extended but when the hiree accepted the job offer. A person was deemed “interviewed” whether he or she was interviewed in person, over the telephone or by e-mail.

Appendix 3:  Outreach Initiatives

1.   Internship Program:                                                                                                             

KLKN has been involved in helping members of the community achieve their educational goals.  KLKN recruits students interested in the broadcast industry by widely advertising our internship programs at career fairs and by educating managers to mention this opportunity when speaking with members of the community.  Letters of Agreement are filled out by the prospective intern and signed off on by a professor of the university and an evaluation is performed at the end of the intern’s term.  During this period, we have had a total of eight internships at KLKN. 

A.  University of Nebraska – Lincoln student – News:  Photography, writing, editing, live skills, and                                         reporting.  Twelve weeks beginning January 2015. (We hired this student full-time at the end of her internship).

2.   EEO Training:

Equal Employment Opportunity meetings are held on a continual basis as needed for current education to department heads as to their role and responsibilities in the EEO process. We ensure that all department heads are fully educated on their reporting documentation responsibility. We educate department heads as to anti-discrimination rules and ensure that all departments are hiring in a non-discriminatory fashion.

The February 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015 Annual EEO Public File Report was distributed to the station managers during the January 27, 2015 manager’s meeting and was discussed by the Business Manager, Steve Anderson.

Steve Anderson, Business Manager, attended an EEO Management Workshop sponsored by Cline Williams Wright Johnson & Oldfather Attorneys at Law on August 11, 2015. This seminar focused on ensuring broad outreach for hiring, equal employment opportunity and preventing discrimination. 

Each employee of the station has been provided, as part of the employee handbook, the Equal Employment Opportunity Program of KLKN-TV. This Program outlines the continuing policy of KLKN-TV to provide equal opportunity and the prohibition of discrimination for all individuals without regard to their race, color, religion, creed, gender, pregnancy or related medical conditions, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, or other consideration protected by federal, state or local laws. This policy is for all personnel actions including recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination. The elements of this Program include responsibility for implementation, policy dissemination, recruitment, training, and promotion.

The employee breakroom bulletin board includes a poster from the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission concerning “Discrimination in Employment, Housing, and Public Accommodations” that outlines rights and responsibilities under the law.

5.  Scholarship Program:

KLKN-TV, in conjunction with the Nebraska Broadcasters Association, actively participated in the 2015 Nebraska Broadcasters Association Foundation Student Scholarship Program. Applicants applied for scholarships under this program and two $1,500 scholarships were awarded. The winners were from Hastings College and Arizona State University.  KLKN-TV provided $300 for the scholarship pool and ran a broadly rotated promotional spot for the program.  The award application forms requested information such as GPA, an essay, experience in the field, honors and awards, and post high school extra-curricular activities.

6.   Participation in Career Fairs:

Creighton University “Jumpstart Your Career Fair” – April 23, 2015, 3:30pm – 4:45pm

Mark Haggar (News Director) participated.  The discussion panel style career fair was sponsored by Creighton University for journalism students.  Each panel member gave a short talk on their background in broadcasting and what they are looking for in potential employees.  They also spent time with the students reviewing/critiquing highlights of their video pieces, written work and social media management.

Union College “Finding Communications Interns” – November 30, 2015

Jeff Swanson (Director of Broadcast Operations) participated.  This business reception was for comminutions oriented companies to meet and visit with key leadership, visit with students in the college’s communications programs and find out how to establish an internship program.  He also visited with 6 students who were interested in employment in TV after graduation.  He discussed the many possibilities available in the broadcasting industry.

7. Disseminating Information as to Employment Opportunities in Broadcasting:

KLKN created a television spot which airs approximately every day on different day parts.  The spot: 1) asks organizations that distribute information about employment opportunities to contact KLKN to get on our mailing list (all contact information including address, phone and email are provided) and 2) informs job seekers to check KLKN’s website for postings of current openings.  The spot confirms KLKN is an Equal Opportunity Employer. 

8. Participate in event or program related to career opportunities in broadcasting by educational institutions:

October 29, 2015 – Jeff Swanson (Director of Broadcast Operations) spoke to the Journalism Management Class at University of Nebraska – Lincoln.  He spoke to the class about hypothetical and actual management situations in the broadcasting field.  He discussed salaries, job opportunities and what students should do in school and after to secure employment.  The students were able to ask questions.
