SUMMARY:Fresh Arts Workshop: Meet Your Media
DESCRIPTION:With Joel Luks of CultureMap\, Molly Glentzer of Houston Chronicle\, and Bill Davenport of Glasstire\nJoin Fresh Arts and an esteemed guest panel at DiverseWorks for a candid discussion about what goes on behind the curtains at some of Houston’s most well known publications\, how they choose what to cover\, as well as a refresher on best practices when writing for any media outlet. \nMany of those in charge of external communications for smaller organizations (or individuals)\, have little or no formal training in writing for the media. That’s OK. This one-part conversation\, one-part workshop\, will help provide greater understanding of how it works for the writers and how to write a more compelling press release\, so you can be better equipped to effectively engage the local media. \nWe will cover: what it’s like to work as an arts writer in Houston\, the basics of strong press releases\, common mistakes\, pitching stories\, requesting corrections\, general advice\, and resources. \nFEES & REGISTRATION\nRegistration deadline: noon\, July 8\, 2014\nFresh Arts Members: $5\nNon-members: $10\nREGISTER HERE: http://www.spacetaker.org/node/12691 \nWalk-ins: late registration fees apply\nMembers: $15\nNon-members: $20 \nFor more information about becoming a Fresh Arts member\, visit our Membership page. \nThis workshop is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nABOUT THE PANEL\nBill Davenport has been Texas Editor at Glasstire.com since March\, 2013.
