Newsroom Confidential Professional --
For the
Communications Professional,
the CEO and Business Owner
The focus of the professional workshop is on enabling PR and Media Relations executives to build more effective relationships with the nation's most influential journalists and news organizations.
The program has a 10-year track record of success.
Newsroom Confidential focuses on the behind-the-scenes nature of journalists and newsrooms. It debunks the myths of how and why news decisions are made. Instead of myths, Newsroom Confidential gives participants practical, proven techniques for increasing media exposure and building strong, lasting bridges to the nation's news media.
The Newsroom Confidential workshop has recently been updated to address the extreme pressures on communications executives to justify their existence in the wake of corporate cost cutting and layoffs. Attendees will return to their jobs with new tools and a fresh perspective on "delivering the goods" to their companies and clients.
The workshop is held in our corporate training facilities from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
The cost for the Professional Executive workshop is only $2000. Registration and payment must be received in advance. Seats are limited.
Meals and materials included.
