LOS ANGELES (June 19, 2007) — The Parents Television Council™, the nation’s most influential advocacy organization protecting children from graphic sex, violence and profanity in the media, announced Alnita Ann Holder as the Director of the Virginia Beach Chapter.  An activist and humanitarian, Holder is setting out to help clean up the television airwaves.

A Virginia native, Holder always had a great desire to educate and strengthen communities; dedicating her life to protecting children and improving media decency.  She currently serves as Chair of Empowerment’s Theater Organization, whose mission is to deliver compelling entertainment alternatives in theater that will uplift positive, social and moral change in the local community.  She is also active at her local church participating in the a cappella gospel group and serving on the fundraising board.

Holder is concerned with the growing epidemic of television violence and sex.  “My passion for the well-being of children and the moral fabric of society has spurred me to undertake the plight of media indecency,” said Holder, “the mission of the PTC and the role of director resonates my overall life mission of restoring and improving our current media and entertainment scene.”

Tim Winter, president of the PTC said, “We are so honored that Alnita is joining us as chapter director.  The chapter will help alert and mobilize concerned citizens about indecent programming during the family-hour and other hours when children are present.  Alnita stands firmly committed to her chapter and the fight to cleanup TV.”
