| Introduction | Welcome to UPRA, the Unsolicited Public Relations Advice blog. Here's where I, a humble PR/Strategic Communications/Media Relations guy, will tell people in the news what they should do to manage their news. All advice is unsolicited. The people I write about are not my clients. I have never met them, and I probably never will. I'm really just using them as case studies to teach you, my readers, a thing or two about public relations. I'm an experienced media and communications professional. I know how reporters think, because I was one for a long time. In addition to 2 years as associate editor of Madison Magazine, I've written for Isthmus, The Shepherd Express, The Capital Times, et al. I also spent 2 years as Communications Director for Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton. I currently do strategic communication for Overture Center for the Arts. In addition to promoting the national and international touring shows that come through town, I work to give the Overture brand a positive public image. I also work with the Dane County Board of Supervisors and am the volunteer publicist for my church, St. Dunstan's Episcopal. |
