Details, details, details

Working in the ASUO means life is all about trying to secure publicity for an event. I don’t get the opportunity to plan many events anymore but in my former life I did and getting someone to recognize and let alone write about them was a nightmare.

 This article sheds some light on really good methods to get a story covered.

 Writing press releases for Senate is a chore especially when most that goes on in arguing about percents of percentages. When something comes around that is really newsworthy though, I want to make sure it gets covered. When you are working on complex really involved issues, it is really easy to get swept up and not pay attention to details.

 More importantly, names can be a killer. To make sure to get right they can be a total pain but misspell one and you might was well jump off a cliff. It is the quickest way to lose an audience and offend someone who was generous enough to help or potentially help.
