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.
