PRII Meet the Media is a Free Members Only event. This year, the event will focus on the critical role of editors and what they would like communicators to know when interacting with them and their journalists.
PRII is delighted to announce another ‘Meet the Media’ event for our members on Tuesday, 1 July from 5 - 6:30 pm at the ESB Head Office, Fitzwilliam Street Lower, Dublin. This event is free to PRII members, but you must register (see below).
The Media Panel this time will include:
This year our focus is on the critical role of editors. How do they decide which issues to champion for their readers and audience? How would they describe their editorial approach? What kind of hard calls do they have to make? What would they like communicators to know when interacting with them and their journalists?
PRII is delighted to welcome an illustrious panel of editors to the stage to discuss these issues and more. Sarah Ryan, PRII National Council Member and Director of Communications, daa, will host the fireside chat, followed by a Q&A with members.
To ensure the panel addresses the topics that matter most to our members, we invite you to submit your questions in advance. We’ll do our best to include as many as possible. Click here to email your questions by Friday, 27 June.
Members will also have networking opportunities immediately before the main event. Tea, coffee, and snacks will be provided.
