Media outlets provide opportunities to promote your business. Publicity can be a low-cost means for your firm to acquire a credible reputation and image. But simply sending a press release to the news media is no guarantee. Attendees can “Meet the Media” and learn about how news organizations determine what’s newsworthy.
- Moderator Tara Hustedde, President and Founder of Pure Public Relations & Marketing, Inc. and AMA Tampa Bay President, will pose questions to a panel of local journalists. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions following the discussion. The panel includes:
- Associated Press writer in Tampa, Mitch Stacy,
- Freelance Writer, Paul Abercrombie,
- Good Day Tampa Bay planning editor at Fox 13, Lori Boex,
- Gulf Coast Business Review Tampa Bay Editor, Carl Cronan,
- St. Petersburg Times Columnist, Ernest Hooper,
- Tampa Bay Business Journal Managing Editor, Jackie McConnell, and
- Tampa Tribune Rich Mullins.
- Come meet members of these top news outlets and discuss the changing landscape of journalism. You will learn how journalists identify stories, the best ways to work with them, and how to best position your company (or your client) as a valuable news source.
