Upcoming Webinar: A B2B Journalist's Guide to Creating the Next New-Media Resource

Join ASBPE for our latest Webinar: A B2B Journalist's Guide to Creating the Next New-Media Resource

Date: Monday, November 17th
Time: 1 pm EST
Duration: 60 minutes
Location: Your computer

Webinar Overview
The advent of the Internet has made it easier and less costly than ever for writers and editors to connect with a niche audience. It also has dramatically increased the value of their skills, enabling smart writers and editors to reach millions of people, as well as make money doing so, without the backing of a large media company.

During a 60-minute Webinar brought to you by ASBPE, you'll learn from Harry McCracken, the former editor-in-chief of PC World who has since founded the personal technology blog Technologizer, and Joe Pulizzi, founder and chief content officer of the search community site Junta42, how to:
  • develop an effective marketing strategy to promote your content
  • identify, and participate in, on-line conversations that can help draw audiences to your work
  • use social networking Web sites to reach out to on-line communities who are likely to value your expertise
  • leverage the power of "free"
  • build successful permission-based marketing initiatives

How to register: Register online here. Shortly after you register, you will receive a confirmation of your registration by e-mail that will include the dial-in number and access code.

Charge: This Webinar is $10.00 for all ASBPE members and $35.00 for non-members.

Exclusive, Complimentary Newseum Tour for ASBPE Members

Mark your calendars for Thursday, June 26, when ASBPE's DC Chapter will host a free, exclusive two-hour guided "Talk & Tour" of the Newseum, which re-opened in downtown Washington on April 11. The Newseum is the world's first interactive museum of news and has received critical acclaim for its exhibits and programs.

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., we will view gallery exhibits on First Amendment rights, 9/11, the Berlin Wall, Pulitzer Prize photographs, and more.

Prior to the tour portion of the event, there will be a talk covering world press freedoms and a Q&A given by veteran broadcast journalist and Newseum Special Programs Director John Milewski. Milewski has extensive experience in moderating and interviewing, producing public affairs television programming and documentaries, and working with educators from around the world to create educational opportunities for students and adults. Currently he also is an instructor for Penn State University, where he teaches a course on politics and media.

Prior to joining the Newseum, for 20 years Milewski served as executive producer, managing editor, and host/moderator of Close Up on C-SPAN, one of the longest running news and public policy discussion programs in cable television history. In 2006, he served as interim producer of After Words, the flagship program of C-SPAN's Book TV lineup.

Over the years he has worked with high school and college students and teachers from South Central LA to Moscow, and from Indian reservations to Pacific Island U.S. territories. He has covered everything from presidential elections and Space Shuttle launches to the fall of the Berlin Wall. He has interviewed leaders of youth gangs and leaders of nations and has covered every presidential election since 1988, producing and hosting programs from every Republican and Democratic nominating convention since then. Most recently he covered the Democratic debate at Drexel University and the Republican debate at the University of Miami for the Newseum.

This private "Talk & Tour" promises to be informative and stimulating, as we discuss the issues journalists face every day.

Following the event there will be an optional informal happy hour at nearby 701 Pennsylvania Ave Restaurant and Bar for those interested (attendees will be responsible for their own food and drinks).

Event details:
Thursday, June 26, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Location:
The Newseum
555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Enter through the C Street Group Entrance
The Newseum is located near several Metro stops. Click here for directions.
