On Feb. 12, Fair Media Council Presents Expert Secrets To Get You Ready to Face the Media
 
(Long Island, N.Y.) The Fair Media Council Media presents, ” ‘I Didn’t Say That!’ Expert Secrets to Get Media Ready,” a Media Fix Workshop on Thursday, Feb. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Four Points Sheraton, Plainview. This topic will focus on media relations and explain what organizations must do to successfully get ready to use media relations to raise their profiles and grow their businesses.
 
The Fair Media Council’s Media Fix Workshop series, exclusively sponsored by St. Joseph’s College, is designed specifically for small businesses and nonprofit organizations to improve all facets of communication skills.
 
“There’s a process people need to be aware of in order to make media relations work for them,” said FMC Executive Director Jaci Clement.  “With the economic downturn, it’s vital for organizations to stay at the forefront of people’s minds in order to remain profitable.  Media relations, when done well, can be a serious tool in the business survivor’s toolbox.”
 
This Fair Media Council workshop will be presented by Arthur Germain, principal and chief brandteller of Communication Strategy Group, a brand marketing agency.
