Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the Reporter?

• A. Plan public information programs with local radio, television, newspaper and service clubs and make use of other opportunities to tell the FFA story.
• B. Organize fundraising events for the chapter.
• C. Release news and information to local and regional news media.
• D. Publish a chapter newsletter or website.

Answer: (B)

The Reporter’s job is to manage the chapter’s public information and storytelling. This includes planning public information programs with local radio, television, newspapers, service clubs, and other opportunities to tell the FFA story; releasing news and information to local and regional news media; and publishing a chapter newsletter or maintaining the chapter website. These duties center on communicating with the public and keeping the chapter’s activities visible and accurately presented.

Organizing fundraising events isn’t part of the Reporter’s typical responsibilities. Fundraising is about securing resources for the chapter and is usually handled by the Treasurer or a fundraising committee (often with guidance from the Chapter Advisor). The Reporter may promote or publicize fundraising efforts, but coordinating and running those events falls outside the core role of public information and media relations.
