Do You Know a Non-Profit Organization Needing Publicity?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I’m teaching COM341 Publicity Methods at Rider University in the fall semester starting in September. In this course, we’ll be working with “real” clients — non-profit organizations who don’t have big budgets to hire consultants or agencies. In the past, we’ve worked with non-profits in the Mercer County, NJ area (Rider is located in Lawrenceville, NJ) and created traditional media kits for these organizations.

As times have changed and the Internet has “expanded” our world and our reach, I don’t think it’s necessary to remain local to NJ this semester when we select our clients. Also, new this semester, we’ll be using an e-book as our textbook: How to Be a Kick-Butt Publicity Hound by Joan Stewart and Tom Antion.

So, I’m in the process of reviewing potential “clients” for my students for COM341 Publicity Methods. If you know a non-profit organization that needs publicity, please tweet me @kathymagrino or post your ideas and comments here. Thank you!

Do You Tweet Differently at Different Times of the Day?

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

I am finding that I tweet differently at different times of the day. In the morning, I’m all about discovering and relaying the latest news, promoting business info and anything else that helps me face the day. In the afternoon, I’m listening and reading and responding to “lighter” tweets with more amusing information. In the evening, I find I’m drawn to the ongoing discussions and debates happening on Twitter…

How about you? Do you tweet differently at different times of the day? Let me know. You can reply to @kathymagrino on Twitter, or post your response here. Thanks!

Until next time, take care!
