Access to the media has never been greater than it is right now. Consumers want their news immediately! Journalists must contend with greater industry saturation and shrinking departmental staff and budgets. Communications officers need to re-think their strategies, re-align their practices, and re-learn the rules of the game in order to connect with the news sources that will bring their stories to the public. The Canadian Institute's "Media Relations 2007" conference will bring together corporate communicators, journalists and reporters to provide insider perspective and advice on all your major media relations issues and concerns.
