Chamber of Commerce: local, state and US on Small Business School, the series on PBS member stations.

Recognizing the best within us all

updated: May 10, 2005

Reward the Good and Ignore the Bad


A new day a new era is ahead where integrity and courage will be consistently recognized and rewarded.



The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Forever an archetype, that film (with Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and the gang) personifies our culture. The Bad and the Ugly have gotten respect. Ethics and integrity have been unbundle -- no longer seen as an asset -- from most of the daily news shows and the most-watched television and cinematic productions.

HELP MAKE TELEVISION THAT TEACHES

Twelve Key Ideas


1.		The national media's negative portrayal of business can be changed.

2.		Lift up more positive role models

3.		Provide more value for members

4.		Collaborate after each broadcast: Work with your local station.

5.		Use this website as your own

6.		Let no business fail for lack of help

7.		Drive local ratings up

8.		Get your PEG stations involved

9.		Be part of the 24x7 convergence

10.		Open a local small business index

11.		Reward the good; ignore the bad

12.		Help Create sustainable businesses

GOAL: All small businesses join their local Chamber and PBS-member station!
