Greetings, and welcome to workingwithlocalmedia.com!

Well, I finally got the domain I bought years ago connected to this website. (I mean, finally got around to it;-) It’s still a WordPress.com-hosted site on an old theme, but hey … I’m no spring chicken, either, and I still work pretty well, too;-)

Now, what I’d like to do is help you and use the knowledge between my ears, from decades of fun, rewarding work, about how to do media relations (news releases, media advisories, event invitations) right – boosting the odds of successful coverage – I’d like to share that with all of you.

As I like to say: Free advice, worth every penny;-)

I can even offer some pretty helpful usability advice about websites, as a pure end user – not a designer, coder, etc. – again, just a small way for me to pay forward the lessons I’ve learned over the years.

I can do this in my spare time – evenings, weekends, etc. That way, it will be separate from my day job, overseeing the KTVZ website.

I’d like to offer a totally volunteer service, with a primary goal of helping my friends with these media-related tasks, while also making new friends – not a ‘consultancy’ to acquire clients. (This way, it’s a LOT simpler – no paperwork, less pressure!)

Public sector or private, nonprofit or for-profit – local or not, in fact – the advice and tips I can offer are pretty universal, as you can read when you look at my posts over the years.

Please use whatever works – and ask me anything, I’ll try to be of assistance.

Let’s talk in 2025!
