...information to journalists and other gatekeepers. In this post I'll explain how to organize a press conference and I'll show you some suggestions that have come back to me very useful during the last years. Times Generally, the press conference is organized at 11 am, in order to give journalists time to write articles in the afternoon. The invitation should be sent to the media list of journalists about 5-7 days before, better if on Friday, to ensure that the conference is included in the weekly agendas of press agency meetings. It is important to check that there are no other concurrent press conferences, perhaps more relevant....

...Back in 1988, a principal removed personal stories about student pregnancies and students of divorced parents. He found these to be offensive and inappropriate for the school newspaper. The students took the school district to court for violating the First Amendment rights of student journalists (Abrams, 1). This court case is known as Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier. The court ruled that, despite the Tinker ruling recognition of strong First Amendment protection, student expression in school-sponsored venues may be subject to greater limitations when those venues have not been established as “designated public forums.” In that context, school officials can censor, if they provide a reasonable educational justification for their actions (Bowen, 1)....

...(Linguistics) 25 October 2011 Reading between the text message lines: How a culture becomes dependent on electronic communication and changes language skills forever. They are everywhere, in schoolyards, high school halls, businesses and even our own homes and they are having an effect on our culture at this very minute. You may even be reading this on one right now. They are cell phones and more and more they are being used for more than just talking; they are being used to send e-mail, text, and instant messages. What originally started out as a way to have more communication in case of emergencies and to have a way for teenagers and adults to stay connected to what is going on in each other’s lives has become a barrier to language abilities. (Bauerlein) In the immediacy of our consumer society we have become too reliant upon instant information and it has affected our way of communicating. A cell phone is now a device that can keep us continually linked to the internet, e-mail and text messages. The price for this convenience is that we have lost the ability to communicate effectively face to face or in writing, thusly loosing parts of our literacy level in this country. When the miracle of cell phones first came into popular use, most people were not that interested in the text message mostly because there was an extra charge associated with using the feature. After more time and as the phone plans began to offer it as part of the service people began using this...

A study conducted in 2010 by Bain & Company1 reports that in 2015, 15 to 20% of the population should be equipped with a digital book, an electronic reader (called an Ereader) or multifunction tablet (not including Smartphones). These last may even represent the majority of the market, reaching a wider audience, if prices, still exceeding € 300, were to fall. Also according to this study, the digital book and digital media in general should know a better situation and favorable growth in the coming years, most users remaining faithful to the paper (including books), seeing the new devices with only additional functions. In addition, unlike the music industry or the audiovisual industry, there are very few parallel market, where users can illegally download works. If this phenomenon were to grow, then it may be as difficult for the publishing industry as the entertainment industry. Currently, there are three main schools of thought on the so-called traditional print media and its evolution towards digital media. Some see through this trend the death of newspapers and even the journalists (the professional ones). We cannot give them completely wrong, when you look...

...ENC-1101 19 julio 2014 Word count 1515 Technology’s Takeover: Is it too Late to Unplug? “Though technology has allowed us to improve and modify traditional tasks, it has also clouded our realization of the dependency we have on it” (Sala). Ever since men’s first thoughts, technology, as a synonym for development, has been around. From the first fire pit, to the first boat design, and finally to the first electronic device, through eras, the human race has managed to discover more ways to do things faster and easier, and to make their life simpler. The object of this research is to persuade and to inform the general public interested in technological impacts and the negative effects it has brought to those who over use it and also to catch, as a desired audience, that part of society blind to such gravity. Even though these new inventions have indeed given us the ease to have almost everything one click or touch away, a dependence on these advances has been developed by their take over, and therefore a harmlessness and ignorance to the possibility of living without it affecting social communication, education, and society’s behavior. SOCIAL COMMUNICATION Just a couple of decades ago, meeting a friend at a café or asking another person for a dance, were two of the most common ways to socialize and to get to know others. In the present, it does not usually happen. Social networks, apps, and date-finding websites have substituted that habit, and now we communicate through...

Thanks to the First Amendment, it’s protected speech, right up there with neo-Nazi rallies, tobacco company press releases, and those "9/11 Was An Inside Job" bumper stickers. It's custom-made Cliff Notes. Virtually any subject, almost any length, all levels of education — indulgent parents even buy papers for children too young for credit cards of their own. You name it, I've done it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the plurality of clients was business administration majors, but both elementary education majors and would-be social workers showed up aplenty. Even the assignments for what in my college days were the obvious gut courses crossed my desk. "Race in The Matrix" was a fashionable subject. The term paper biz is managed by brokers who take financial risks by accepting credit card payments and psychological risks by actually talking to the clients. Most of the customers just aren't very bright. One of my brokers would even mark...

According to the internet journal ZDNet, the number of people who use the internet amounts to 2,1 billion people worldwide. The number of websites is continuously growing every year. This has an impact on many aspects of life. Writing emails, reading online journals, being active on social media platforms and going shopping online belongs to the daily routine of many people nowadays.

DEADLINES 13 ECCO achieved record results in 2011 (Source: http://www.ecco.com/en-XI/Media-Center/Annual-Report ) In 2011, ECCO achieved the highest surplus in the company’s history with a profit before tax of DKK 904 million. This highly satisfactory result was particularly due to successful new collections and improvements in sales in most of ECCO’s markets. The outcome could have been even better, if ECCO’s shoe factory and tannery at Ayutthaya in Thailand had not suffered catastrophic flooding in October with considerable human and commercial consequences. Many of the 3,500 employees in Ayutthaya lost both their home and all their belongings. Despite this, they all made an enormous effort both for ECCO, usually incompletely unfamiliar roles, and for the local community. For ECCO, the flooding meant the loss of more than a third of the company’s production capacity. The emphasis was therefore placed on quickly establishing increased production at ECCO’s other factories and among external partners. New production capacity has now been established in Thailand, and ECCO expects to be back in full production by the end of...
