ETP-NEW earns regional Emmy nomination for ‘If a Bully’

Nationwide, tens of thousands of students miss school each day for fear of being bullied. Educational Television Productions of Northeast Wisconsin (ETP-NEW), headquartered in the Instructional Services Building on the UW-Green Bay campus, went beyond the statistics to address bullying in Wisconsin schools with the documentary “If A Bully Watches This,” profiling three different case studies. Their efforts have been rewarded with a regional Emmy nomination. Winners will be revealed Nov. 7 by the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Science. “If A Bully Watches This” was a collaborative project between the private, non-profit ETP-NEW and NEWIST/CESA 7. ETP-NEW Executive Director Dean Leisgang, co-producer with NEWIST’s Eileen Littig, says, “The timing (or the Emmy nomination) is great because October is national Bullying Awareness month. We hope this added attention to our program will open up a dialogue on this important topic to create a safe school environment for all.”
