“If You Don’t Toot Your Horn, They’ll Use It as a Spittoon, and You Can’t Win if You Don’t Enter,” said Hollywood and Media Expert George McQuade, Who’s Slated to Speak to SCORE Sept. 21st
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2004 Â?There are only so many hot new products or breakthrough achievements with which a business can capture a journalistÂ?s attention,Â? said Executive Vice President George McQuade, MAYO Communications (http://www.MayoPR.com), a full service Los Angeles public relations firm, who is scheduled to speak at the Los Angeles Chapter of the Service Corps of Retire Executives (SCORE), Tuesday, 10 a.m., September 21, 2004, 10:00 a.m., on Â?Creating A Buzz For Your Business.”
The event takes place at the Westside Pavilion Shopping Center, 3rd Floor Meeting room, 10800 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90064.
Mc Quade said, Â?There are five simple steps to help you create a buzz for your business.Â?
Â?The Internet Â? one of the most under utilized communications is your website, search engines, directories and there is a lot of free services for websites, directories and small business.
Â?Newsletters/ezines (electronic newsletters) help announce business developments and activities
Â?Public Speaking Â? When you speak on current issues or Â?hot buttonÂ? topics at a business luncheon or event youÂ?re making your company and yourself newsworthy.
Â?News releases and a calendar of events about your company or activities alert editors about your company and you become a future resource.
Â?Word of Mouth Â? mixers, meetings, toastmasters, fundraisers and other business events youÂ?re invited to are great places to create a buzz about your business and activities youÂ?re involved in.Â?
To make it work for your CEO or your business, Mc Quade contends that you need to help a reporter create a story that not only fits your business, but fulfills their assignment. For example, when a breaking story on a new product or crisis is reported, editors search for people who can talk about them from prevention to just to simplifying how a process or product works. Â?When former President Ronald Reagan died journalists scrambled for experts or doctors who could talk about AlzheimerÂ?s disease,Â? he said.
Â?Exposing your company to the media is one of the most valuable things your company can do,Â? explained Mc Quade. Â?You educate customers, stakeholders, prospects and other important audiences on your company, your product, service and, and you get them to start talking about them.
Â?I can count on my fingers the number of corporate and government CEOÂ?s and managers who really believe that the media is out to get them,Â? he said. Â?Journalists are really out to get their story. Most reporters have no interest in making you look bad, but they do look for controversy, which often stems from misinformation from people with their own agenda or the companyÂ?s competition. This is one more reason to return media phone calls so you can set the record straight. Reporters who earn reputations as being too unfair will find it increasingly difficult to get those great interviews, and therefore, the good stories. Building a solid media relationship is critical to surviving any company crisis, too.Â?
McQuade noted that reporters do look for controversy or the unusual angles. Â?An editor will tell you that controversy makes for more interesting stories; however reporters who research one side of an issue without seeking an opposing view aren’t doing their jobs. In any credible newsroom, a story without of balance won’t make it past the first editor.Â?
Â?The media is literally the last concern that nonprofits, new business startups and big corporations think about until it is too late, and when a crisis strikes or when the media is interested investigating a CEO or company, theyÂ?re not prepared,Â? said McQuade, who specializes media training and media placement and who earned five media awards from Public Relations Society of America, PRSA, LA Chapter last year.
McQuade is also the West Coast Bureau Chief for Jack OÂ?Dwyer Publications (http://www.odwyerpr.com), Manhattan, NY, an inside report on media, publicity, public relations and agencies in the U.S. He currently serves as a board member on the Entertainment Publicists Professional Society (EPPS) in Hollywood and is the official EPPS photographer.

Don’t Drink That Kool-Aid from iOwnTheWorld.com(15)
![]() the dangers of swallowing the Kool-Aid Barack Obama Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.[1][2][3] A socialist society is organized on the basis of relatively equal power-relations, self-management, dispersed decision-making (adhocracy) and a reduction or elimination of hierarchical and bureaucratic forms of administration and governance, the extent of which varies in different types of socialism.[4][5] This ranges from the establishment of cooperative management structures to the abolition of all hierarchical structures in favor of free association. As an economic system, socialism is the direct allocation of capital goods (means of production) to meet economic demands so that production is oriented toward use and accounting is based on some physical magnitude, such as physical quantities or a direct measure of labour time.[6][7] Goods and services for consumption are distributed through markets, and distribution of income is based on the principle of individual merit/individual contribution.[8] As a political movement, socialism includes a diverse array of political philosophies, ranging from reformism to revolutionary socialism. Some currents of socialism, often referred to as state socialism, advocate complete nationalisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange as a strategy for implementing socialism; while social …

Egyptian Ambassador to Vatican “We don’t share view that Christians are persecuted(9)
![]() January 12, 2011. Egypt has recalled their ambassador to the Vatican for consultation in light of the Pope’s remarks on the need for the Egyptian government to do more to protect its Christian minority. ROME REPORTS was able to conduct an interview with the Egyptian ambassador to the Vatican before she was called back to Cairo. Benedict XVI 10/01/2011 “To the authorities of that country and to the Muslim religious leaders I renew my heartfelt appeal that their Christian fellow-citizens be able to live in security, continuing to contribute to the society in which they are fully members.” ROME REPORTS was able to conduct an interview with the Egyptian ambassador to the Vatican before she was called back to Cairo. Lamia Aly Mekhemar Egyptian Ambassador to the Holy See “We do not share the views that Christians are persecuted in our part of the world. Persecution is a big word, in order prove persecution you have to be very careful, this is a legal term that could not be used casually. In this sense we do not share the views about that our governments, some governments in the area have not provided protection for the Christians in the Middle East.” This comes two weeks after the New Years Eve suicide bombing of a church which left 23 dead. It also resulted in several days of unrest as Christians clashed with police and Muslims in the street as they demanded government protection.

According to the American Marketing Association, the main focus of public relations is upon a flow of information between a company and people. It is relationship oriented, whereas marketing is results (through activities) oriented. Marketing attempts to connect products and/or services to certain groups of people. This is done by using many vehicles, including public relations. These two areas of advertising are frequently lumped into the same bowl, as fuel to increase sales. In reality, marketing would be the bowl itself, and public relations would be part of the contents of the bowl. The marketing department is expected to develop measureable methods for increasing sales. Marketing efforts are aimed at informing the public about new company products or services, upgrades in current offerings, and all activities that promote either the company or the products or services that the company produces. Public relations departments function to assist the marketing department in creating and maintaining a positive relationship for the company in the eyes of the public and its stakeholders. This department is uniquely important for overcoming bad publicity or disastrous occurrences like product recalls. The public relations (PR) department works within the company also, smoothing communications and bonding of internal management and employees. Public relations departments support marketing efforts by helping to identify strategies that will work to reach certain demographics. It looks more to the broad picture of the company and its reputation, rather than to individual products, services or problems. There are many differences between these two areas of advertising. Marketing deals with product or service awareness, promotions and sales results. It creates campaigns, literature, advertising, videos, support materials, training materials and other items that will help increase sales. This department will take information and statistics from the public relations division and use it in the formation of marketing promotions. Marketers work with pricing and cost effectiveness, profitability and measureable results. Marketing efforts are generally short term activities. Public relations is an area within marketing that deals with how the public perceives the company/brand and its products or services. It focuses on promoting the company as a whole, rather than individual products. The PR department is always watching and becoming aware of how the public reacts to the company, or to news about the company and its products or services. It calculates previous results and tries to apply that knowledge to new strategies. Public relations efforts are generally long term projects. These two areas of advertising are definitely related, but different. The public relations department supports the marketing department. Don’t confuse public relations and marketing; each is important to the overall success of a company.
