Eagle Media proposes monthly county interview; commissioners favor informal accommodation
Summary
Allison Peck, news director for Eagle Media, proposed a monthly interview/podcast with a board member to expand public reach. Commissioners expressed support but preferred informal accommodation rather than a formal board action; Commissioner Weems agreed to appear the next morning.
Allison Peck, news director for Eagle Media (North Platte Post and Sandhills Post), visited the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 27 to propose a monthly interview or short podcast segment with a board member to reach audiences not served by existing coverage.
Peck said Eagle Media runs agenda previews and meeting recaps on its websites and proposed recording an interview in-studio that could be embedded online and aired on radio. Commissioners expressed broad support for the idea but said they did not see a need for formal board action. Several commissioners emphasized flexibility to participate when available rather than committing the entire board to a standing schedule.
Commissioner Weems volunteered to appear the next morning for a radio segment; logistics were set for an 8:30 a.m. studio visit. No formal action was taken; staff said they will accommodate interview requests informally.
