TORONTO, Feb. 24 /CNW/ - CNW invites PR spokespeople to a Breakfast with the Media event on Friday, March 5, 2010, that features two leading message managers: former Global TV reporter Stu McNish and U.S. military advisor, John Stufflebeem. During this one-hour discussion, Stu and John will share the secrets of managing your corporate reputation by effectively engaging the media.

"With the advent of social media and a 24-hour news cycle, an organization's reputation can be called into question at any moment," said Carolyn McGill-Davidson, CNW's president and CEO. "We are proud to offer our clients the tools to continuously manage their reputation, whether by communicating to their audiences, tracking this communication using our MediaVantage, or by learning best practices for direct interaction with the media."

At this Breakfast with the Media event, PR spokespeople can learn:

    
    -   how to manage your reputation by determining the right message to
        deliver;
    -   how to develop messaging you can own;
    -   how to practice; and most importantly,
    -   how to negotiate and control the terms of engagement.
    

The event will also be webcast live from Toronto beginning at 8:00 am and available in archive on our website www.newswire.ca following the event.
