SDPB Wins NETA Award
SDPB is proud to announce we’ve received an award from the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA) for the SDPB television production Putting History to Work: The Economics of Historic Preservation. Commissioned by the South Dakota Historical Society, the documentary examines the economic impact of rehabilitating buildings. A study of South Dakota projects on historic buildings has shown that renewing and reusing historic sites rather than demolishing them benefits the state. We congratulate producer Chad Andersen, videographers Andrew Bork, Josh Kappler, and Paul Ebsen and voice talent Brian Gevik for receiving this national recognition. The photo credit for the cover image of the Eagle Butte-Isabel wagon train on October’s Cowboy Up! issue of SDPB Magazine goes to Gordon Collins. We thank Gordon for the use of his photos. 20
