"THE DEADLINE IS NOW: HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE MEDIA AND CREATE PUBLICITY FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Andrew Mayeday Report Canwest News Service
by Andrew Mayeda

"Hoping to generate some publicity for your business without breaking the bank? Getting your business some media attention can be a great way to raise your company’s profile.

But before you approach an editor or reporter, you need to understand how they think.

Andrew Mayeda is a national reporter with Canwest News Service, where he covers finance and economics. Previously, as a business reporter for the Ottawa Citizen, he covered Ottawa’s tech sector and wrote numerous profiles on
up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

Andrew will take you behind the curtain to explain how newsrooms work and what makes the media tick.

He’ll also offer some tips on how to be your own public-relations guru, as well as how to take advantage of emerging social media such as Facebook and Twitter."
