Benefits of Sponsorship

Sponsorship sends a message that your brand is strongly aligned with RTDNA’s shared mission to protect the rights of journalists in the courts and legislatures throughout the country, as well as to promote ethical standards in the industry. 

Sponsorships and corporate con­tributions help to fund some of the Association and Foundation’s most successful programs that foster excellence throughout the industry. Our sponsorships provide companies with the opportunity to meet face-to-face with members of RTDNA and speak with elec­tronic journalists from around the country.
