Luncheon Workshop Media Relations: Your Business Will Benefit Panel Description
Every media outlet is thirsty for news on new businesses, product launches and interesting ideas. But how should business owners communicate news and information to the various publications? What's the best way to contact the appropriate journalist and what to say when you make contact? Join us for a panel discussion with some of the Cities' top business journalists as they explain: - What constitutes "news"
- What kind of story ideas their publication is looking for
- How one becomes an "expert" and source for stories
- How to submit story ideas and articles to their publication
