NRA’s Number Two Resigns, NRA Shuts Down NRA TV

Chris Cox, the former head of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) has resigned his position. Last week, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre placed Cox on leave and accused the man many believed to be his evenutal successor of having aided in a failed “coup” attempt against LaPierre by former NRA President Oliver North. In the announcement of Cox’s departure to NRA employees, LaPierre thanked Cox “for his service to the NRA.”

This latest development follows the announcement by LaPierre that the NRA was shutting down production of its online streaming network, NRATV. There is also a communication between the NRA and its former agency Ackerman McQueen in which the NRA’s Andrew Arulanandam “demands immediate delivery of all materials by Section XLC of the Services Agreement, including all Confidential Information (as defined by the Services Agreement).” The letter also says that “if AMc damages or convert the NRA’s property, or if the NRA perceives an imminent risk of the same, the NRA will pursue legal recourse.” The acrimonious parting of the ways has been accompanied by a myriad of charge, counter-charges and lawsuits between the NRA and Ackerman McQueen.

Council to Advance to Hunting and the Shooting Sports Partners to Share R3 Message with Outdoor Media Professionals

Council to Advance to Hunting and the Shooting Sports Partners to Share R3 Message with Outdoor Media Professionals

Headlines on declining and shifting participation rates in hunting, target shooting, and outdoor recreation have been well-documented, and the announcements have not fallen on deaf ears. Now, the narrative has shifted as conservation and outdoor organizations have invested significant resources in recent years to address these declines by focusing on efforts to recruit, retain, and reactivate (R3) hunters and target shooters, thus ensuring a solid future for conservation in America. This is the message that the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports, in partnership with the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) and the Association for Conservation Information (ACI), will share with outdoor media professionals at upcoming events. The goal of these events is to expand outdoor media professionals’ engagement in state, regional, and national R3 efforts.

“Outdoor media professionals play a key role in the national R3 movement. From providing ‘how-to’ content for new or soon-to-be hunters to encouraging current hunters to help mentor a new person – outdoor media professionals can help this national movement move forward,” said Kristen Black, Manager of Communications and Human Dimensions for the Council.

On June 19, the Council will update POMA members during the Visit Mississippi breakfast at the annual POMA conference in Wichita, Kansas. Council staff will share the latest trends in outdoor recreation participation and highlight opportunities to connect with the national network of R3 professionals. Kevin Orthman, Executive Director of POMA, shared that “POMA members are interested in what R3 is and are looking to connect with the mission. This unique opportunity is just the start of many more opportunities as we continue to work together to bridge the media and R3 professions and bring better content to hunters, target shooters, and other outdoor recreationists.” Read more
