“Indecent Proposals & Strange Bedfellows: What to Expect from Media in 2009″ Presented on Jan. 8
 
The Fair Media Council Media presents, “Indecent Proposals & Strange Bedfellows: What to Expect from Media in 2009,” an FMC Media Fix Workshop on Thursday, Jan. 8, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Four Points Sheraton, Plainview.  The presenter will be FMC Executive Director Jaci Clement.
 
“The media landscape is undergoing dramatic changes.  In 2009 those changes – including cutbacks, mergers and media outlets just going out of business – will be evident in the news you’re receiving.  The types of stories the media chooses to cover, and what it doesn’t cover, will be very different.  For people who have a message to share, getting your message out is going to be a whole new ballgame,” said Jaci Clement, executive director of the Fair Media Council.  
 
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.
 
Tickets are $40 for FMC members, $65 for nonmembers.  To reserve your tickets, which include continental breakfast and networking time, call 516.224.1860, ext. 100.  Tickets must be paid in advance and are nonrefundable.  A portion of the ticket price is tax deductible, to the extent allowable by law.  Walk-ins pay an additional $10 at the door, if space is still available in the workshop.  Space is limited and reservations are recommended.
