San Francisco Publicity Club: State of Media and Changing Landscape January 21, 2009

The spotlight has been on new media lately – but what about traditional media like newspapers and magazines? How have the recent changes affected news desks and pitches from public relations professionals? Where are readers and viewers getting their information --from multiple sources, or single sources? Join the Publicity Club during this forum where media and public relations professionals can share ideas.

Robert Rosenthal, executive director of the Center for Investigative Reporting , and (www.centerforinvestigativereporting.org), and former managing editor for the San Francisco Chronicle, will lead the forum. An award-winning journalist with nearly 40 years of experience, Rosenthal has worked for some of the most respected newspapers in the country, including the New York Times, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer and, most recently, the San Francisco Chronicle. As a reporter, his awards include the Overseas Press Club Award for magazine writing, the Sigma Delta Chi Award for distinguished foreign correspondence, and the National Association of Black Journalists Award for Third World Reporting.
