Campaign Ad Captioning Made Simple!




A Training for Legislators

A Training for Legislators

&

Political Candidates, Parties and Committees

Campaign Ad Captioning Made Simple!

 
FREE CLASS!
 
In the most recent legislative session, a new law was passed that requires state-level political candidates to caption their Internet and Television advertisements and provide online transcripts of their radio advertisements.  The law applies to those candidates who have signed the Public Subsidy Agreement and whose professionally produced advertisements are 2 minutes or less.
 
This free informational training will provide participants with an understanding of the captioning process, the benefits of captioning, and how best to acquire and work with captioning vendors.  This same information can be applied to any ads or PSAs created by legislators, candidates, political parties or committees.  With the right information, the process of captioning is inexpensive and much simpler than most people realize.
 
When: Wednesday, July 30th
 
Time: 2:00-4:00 PM
 

Where: Elmer L. Anderson Building  

              540 Cedar Street
