[stylist] Major Problem w Posted "Template:" RE: Writers' Division Monthly Gathering- Tomorrow!

Sat Apr 30 23:28:21 UTC 2011

Hi Peter and Robert,
I was surprised to see this announcement and equally concerned When I
downloaded it. It is not the one that I submitted to Robert  for use online.
It has my personal information in it. I think this one was a rough draft
that I sent in earlier in our conversation, but it was not part of my final
submission. In addition to all of the material I wrote on contacting the
press and so on, (which I thought the Division was going to use), I had sent
in two separate documents; one of which was an explanation, the other was a
true template that users could personalize for their own use. I am attacing
them, but I don't know if they'll go through for the list. I seem to
remember that we can send attachments. I also don't know how much good this
will do without all of the other materials I had prepared for our Guide to
Writing Press Releases section. Have you decided not to go forward with
that? As Robert and I had discussed, a true template with explanations
separate would have allowed the user to easily input their info without
having to delete everything along the way. Please let me know what is going
on. I really don't want my phone number, etc out there on the internet.

Tomorrow-  Sunday, May 1st , will be our April/May gathering.

Our topic is- Communicating with our Local Newspapers

Our Special Guest- who was unable to meet with us back in February will be
with us and that is --- Elizabeth Campbell, Chairperson of the Blind
Professional Journalists Group.

With the recent discussion on STYLIST of the importance of and the "best
practice" on how to get the attention of local newspapers, I have made
arrangements for one of our very own NFB professional journalist to be our
guest. Elizabeth lives in Fort Worth, Texas and  is a reporter for the Fort
Worth Star Telegram. (She was originally from Omaha, Nebraska; where I
presently live.)

Liz will be our sounding board, taking all our questions and sharing her
experience and expertise gained from years of professional experience in
journalism.

Another good thing which has come from this topic, is --- the Writers'
Division will very soon provide an easy to find and use guide to the
creation of a press release. It will be readable and down-loadable from our
Division's Website. (Watch for its unveiling!)

Now about Sunday's gathering!!!

Time: 8:30 Eastern; 7:30 Central; 6:30 Mountain; 5:30 Pacific

Number to call: (218) 339-4300

Code:  568839 (followed by the pound sign)
