The deadline for nominating media industry financial managers who should be considered “People to Watch” in 2020 has been extended until August 2, 2019. Organized by MFM – The Media Financial Management Association, and its BCCA subsidiary, the media industry’s credit association, the program recognizes those whose contributions are helping to grow their companies and advance the profession’s role within the media industry.

The January/February 2020 issue of The Financial Manager magazine will include a special report featuring profiles of “People to Watch” in the coming year. MFM welcomes all nominations for the honor. It is not necessary for nominators, nor those they recommend, to be members of MFM or BCCA. To ensure the most comprehensive list of industry financial professionals focused on change, the Association will also accept more than one nomination from a nominator.

Qualifications for nominees include:

· Be a member of the media financial community, with a focus on radio; broadcast TV; networks, programming, and streaming; multi-channel/telecommunications platforms; newspaper/print; games, or digital media.

· Have a mission or responsibility that suggests they will be instrumental in creating change within the media and financial industries over the next year.

TFM’s Editorial Advisory Board are charged with selecting the “People to Watch” honorees.
