TORONTO, Oct. 13, 2015 /CNW/ - In the public relations profession, success means being prepared for anything. One minute you're sharing the good news of an exciting business venture and the next you're responding to a journalist digging into a contentious issue facing your industry. In either situation, it helps to have insight into how the media work.
On October 16, 2015, CNW Group brings its ongoing Breakfast with the Media event series to Halifax, Nova Scotia, featuring the Toronto Star's award-winning investigative reporter Robert Cribb.
Cribb will provide an inside look at how journalists research in-depth stories and how organizations can respond to potential public relations nightmares. Learn the kinds of questions journalists are likely to ask, and how your reactions can impact the outcome -- for better or worse. Cribb will also share his experience with the launch of Star Touch, the Toronto Star's new tablet edition.
