Understanding the way
the news media works
You have an announcement about hiring a new vice president, or
the business’s anniversary celebration, or a grand re-opening
after extensive remodeling.
Problem is, you’re not sure where
to send the press release. If you fax or e-mail it to the major
metro daily, will it even be seen, let alone printed? Is it
something the broadcast media (television, radio) will give more
than just a passing glance?

for great information from Teri Carnicelli, Editor, North
Central News.

The Women and
Gender Studies Program in the new School of Social
Transformation at Arizona State University is creating a new
women’s leadership certificate course, taught primarily online.
In keeping with ASU’s vision of being the university of the
future, we want this program to be unique and exciting while
meeting the needs of women leaders for excellent leadership
development opportunities and a chance to build professional
networks through both social media and personal contact. So we
want your opinions.
We seek
participants for a focus group discussion about the type of
leadership program that would interest women leaders in
business, government, and nonprofits. Participants will be
paid $100 for approximately 2 hours, while helping ASU to design
an outstanding program.
The focus
group will be held on the ASU campus in Tempe on Wednesday,
September 23 from 6-8 pm. Free parking in a garage and
refreshments will be provided.
Please
CLICK HERE
(or on the link below) and answer a few questions about
yourself, so that we can place you in the correct discussion
group. If you can’t participate or choose not to, but know
another woman leader in business, government, or nonprofit
organization who might be interested, please feel free to pass
this information along to her.
