Reminder! NIRI D*FW May Luncheon: Financial Media Insight and Q&A

On May 30, join journalists from The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and The Dallas Morning News and your fellow NIRI members as we discuss the current state of the media industry, learn what motivates these writers in their coverage, hear how they most want to interact with IR officers.

Our moderator will also ask these seasoned reporters questions such as:

• How does your outlet define background, or off-the-record?
• Is the news release dead?
• What are keys to getting our news included in each outlet?
• How do I make my news a media story?

You will also have time to ask these senior business writers your own questions, so put your thinking cap on.
