People come with questions about how to build mutually beneficial relationships with key members of the media. Attendees will get insight on deadlines, media pitching and most importantly, how a Public Relations piece can end up as a cover story.

“Every Meet The New Media Event,” has resulted in attendees having their newsworthy material discovered,” says Antonelli. “This is my way of giving back and acknowledging how I got my start - networking.”
