Kim Gibby and Jana Lynn Rupe of the Jacksboro Gazette-News and The Jack County Herald were recently named to the Media Honor Roll, a program sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards, by Jacksboro Independent School District.
The Media Honor Roll recognizes media representatives statewide who deserve recognition for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools. Media representatives from more than 450 Texas newspapers and radio and television stations were honored by their local school districts.
Gibby is managing editor at Jacksboro Newspapers, a division of Graham Newspapers Inc., a subsidiary of MediaNews Group. She has been with the company for more than 13 years.

Rupe has served as staff writer for Jacksboro Newspapers since 2005.
Criteria for the district selection included the media representative’s efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and the district’s mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate, and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school officials.
“Districts across Texas appreciate these reporters for their balanced and accurate approach to sharing both the challenges facing our schools and the successes achieved by local teachers, students, and school boards. Their work aids local communities in focusing on the goal of providing the best public schools we can for every child,” said Sarah Winkler, TASB president.
In most cases, local school boards pass a formal resolution and present a personalized certificate to their nominated news media.
TASB is a nonprofit organization established in 1949 to serve local Texas school districts. School board members are the largest group of publicly elected officials in the state. The districts they represent serve more than 4.7 million public school students.
