Journalism
Public Relations Project
Take your time to read the following, before asking questions.
You will need to refer back to this throughout the project.
checklist: 1. assemble of group of 2 or 3 people. (I will facilitate this, if needed.)
                  2.choose your non-profit organization (there is a list at the end of the blog; if you have something else in mind, make sure it is a non-profit organization, a 501-c)
                 3. make sure Parker has this information (no duplicates in a class; this is due today!)
                 4. research your organization as to its history, finances, effectiveness and current projects. Have each member look at a different site, take notes and compare. Look for statistical information. One member should write up a synopis of this information (200 word minimum; incorporate textual evidence; at the close use correct sitations. If plagarizing occurs, everyone in your group will receive a zero for this part of the project.)
                5. one minute PSA: script and either filmed or live performance (directions / samples below)
                6. Press release with a list of 5 possible news sources  (including contact information). (directions and samples below)This will be for a small fundraiser, the details of which you will work out in step 7.
                7. Fund raiser. The emphasis here in on realistic.  (See number 7 below for details)
                8. Lastly, you will two of the following as promotional items:    poster, brochure, t-shirt or print ad or something else imaginative.
Time Frame: All material is due on Wednesday, March 6 at the beginning of class. Please put all your work in a folder with your organization on the cover, along with the individuals in your group. Presentations will take place on March 6, 7 and 8. It will consist of the following: a two minute extemporaneous (that means nothing written down) talk on the background of your organization, a public service announcement and your tchotchkes.  
            Grading: Background information -writing
                              PSA - writing
                              Press release- writing
                              Tchotchkes- homework times 2 (that's 10% of the whole marking period. I'm required to have a grade here.)
                               Fund raiser- class participation grade
                               Presentation- class presentation grade
                               Grade your partners- class participation grade
            As this is a group assignment, your fortunes are interwined. If any part of the project is missing on Wednesday, March 6, that part of your grade is a zero. As well, if you are absent for the presentation, your partner(s) are expected to be able to fill in. This is an extensive project that requires solid communication skills among the group. You have 7 class days. Use them productively.
                             
            
                 
                

What is Public Relations? It seems difficult to believe in the 21st century that there exists a major discipline with so many diverse, partial, incomplete and limited interpretations of its mission. Here is just a sampling of professional opinion on what public relations is all about:

1. talking to the media on behalf of a client.
2. selling a product, service or idea.
3. reputation management.
4. engineering of perception
5. attracting credit to an organization for doing good.
6. limiting the downside when it goes bad.

By definition, public relations is the art and science of establishing relationships between an organization and its key audiences. Public relations plays a key role in helping business industries create strong relationships with customers.

Brief History of PR

Public relations arrived with the development of mass media. At the turn of the 20th century, "muckraking" journalists were stirring up public dissent against the powerful monopolies and wealthy industrialists who ruled the day. Early public relations firms combated the bad press by placing positive stories about their clients in newspapers.

Former journalists, such as Ivy Lee, used the first press releases to feed newspapers "the facts" about his misunderstood clients, namely the railroad and tobacco industries, and J.D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil.
Lee and company became so good at whitewashing even the darkest corporate sins that PR professionals earned a reputation as "spin doctors."

Much time has passed since the days of Ivy Lee, and to label today's PR professionals as dishonest would be to ignore how pervasive and important their work has become to people and organizations of all shapes and sizes -- small businesses, authors, activists, universities, and non-profit organizations -- not just big business and big government.


There are different types of public relations; some companies call it investor relations and yet others will call it financial public relations, but what some companies do not realize is the fact that public relations is an extremely essential and integral marketing tool.

Essentially, the general idea of public relations is advertising, branding and marketing. Anything that involves the media is the responsibility of the public relations officer. He encourages magazines, newspapers, radio and TV to print or air good things about the services and the products. This promotion will reach their targeted customers; therefore generating an increase in sales and patronage.

People act on their perception of the facts; those perceptions lead to certain behaviors; and something can be done about those perceptions and behaviors that leads to achieving an organization’s objectives.

That leads us directly to the core strength of public relations.

When public relations create, change or reinforce the general opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action those people whose behaviors affect the organization, the public relations mission is accomplished.


Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising ?

You will often find that many people confuse public relations with marketing and/or advertising or vice versa. The most apparent reason for this is that the clear-cut distinctions are disappearing as each strategy’s different awareness building efforts become more and more integrated. While all those components are important, they are very different.

Please take a look at the image at the top to note the differences.

5. Public Service Announcement of one minute. Each group will turn in one PSA. It will be a typed script. As well, this will be either filmed or performed for the class.  Assume a radio broadcast, so visuals will not be necessary; however, it is all the more important that your use clear imagery in your script.
   OK, so how do I write a PSA?  Look below, I've given you several examples!

#1 What is a PSA or public service announcement?



Unlike a press release, a public service announcement is usually transmitted electronically, via radio or television in a short spot of ten to sixty seconds. A requirement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is that stations donate a certain amount of airtime to serve the public and the community. Most public radio and TV stations have a community calendar for which they will announce events to the public. Health or safety tips are included within this public service requisite.
A public service announcement typically heralds a community event, usually, but not always, for a non-profit organization. Commercial groups can also announce non-profit events or services. If you just want a pre-event plug, the community calendar is where you should direct your PSA. Many local newspapers also have community calendars so PSA’s are not limited to electronic media.
Note, although I have given you several short ones, you will be creating a 60 PSA. Pay attention to the written format.

The following are some examples of public service announcements for the ABATE, an organization in Arkansas that defends the rights of motorcyclists.


Public Service Announcements:

10 Second PSA: WE COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, BUT WE TRAVEL DOWN THE SAME ROAD. LOOK FOR MOTORCYCLES & SHARE THE ROAD. THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABATE of ARKANSAS, www.arkansasabate.org

15 Second PSA: DID YOU KNOW THAT 75% OF MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS INVOLVING MOTORCYCLES WERE THE FAULT OF THE OTHER PERSON? DON'T BE PART OF THAT DEADLY STATISTIC, LOOK FOR MOTORCYCLES & SHARE THE ROAD. THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABATE of ARKANSAS, www.arkansasabate.org

20 Second PSA: APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS INVOLVING MOTORCYCLES WERE THE FAULT OF THE OTHER PERSON. MOST OF THOSE DRIVERS SAID THEY DID NOT SEE THE MOTORCYCLE. DON'T BE PART OF THAT DEADLY STATISTIC. LOOK FOR MOTORCYCLES & SHARE THE ROAD. THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABATE of ARKANSAS, www.arkansasabate.org

30 Second PSA: DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO RIDES A MOTORCYCLE? CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT YOU SEE MOTORCYCLE RIDERS WHEN YOU ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL. FOR THE REST OF YOU, YOUR CHANCES OF BEING THE PERSON WHO HITS A MOTORCYCLE RIDER JUST WENT UP 300%. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HIT SOMEONE RIDING A MOTORCYCLE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO RIDES THEM. DON'T BE PART OF THAT DEADLY STATISTIC. LOOK FOR MOTORCYCLES & SHARE THE ROAD. THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABATE of ARKANSAS, http://www.arkansasabate.org/

What I Like Best (script for children's voices)

(60 seconds)

Girl #1: What I like best about my school is my classroom teacher, (name), because he/she taught me how to read (name of book). When I grow up, I'm going to write a book.

Boy #1: What I like best about my classes is how we learn to solve problems and work together as a team. I can do a lot of things by myself, but I like being able to help others and work together to get a project done.

Girl #2: What I like best is biology--studying chromosomes and DNA. After I go to college, I'm going to medical school and become a doctor. If I could find the cure for cancer or diabetes or AIDS, that would be like totally awesome!

Boy #2: I'm not sure what I like best about my school. It's a toss-up--I like history, art and gym. Who knows? Maybe I'll be a historian. Or design computer graphics. Or be a basketball player. My mom, though, she'd like me to be a teacher.

Announcer: America's schools teach children to think, cooperate, solve problems, and much more.

Visit a school during American Education Week, November 13th through 19th, and see the future taking shape, one student at a time!

All the Difference

(60 seconds)

Sometimes one teacher can make all the difference:

A teacher who stays after school to help you understand an algebra problem.

A coach who tells you that you can do it--and gets you to run faster than you've ever run before.

A teacher who pushes you to do things you didn't think you could do--write a poem, create an algorithm, play a Bach sonata.

Sometimes one day in school can make the difference for a lifetime.

The day you learn how to read.

The day you win an award in the science fair.

The day you start thinking "I can" instead of "I can't."

November 13th through 19th is American Education Week, a time for celebrating the crucial differences that educators make in young lives.

The classroom is where students learn to think, solve problems, and cooperate with each other.

These skills are critical in shaping the future of America.

This week, visit your child's classroom and show your support.

Whether it's thanking a teacher, reading to kindergartners, or talking with high school students about your work, your support can make all the difference!

6   press release, publicizing a related event
What is a press release? Welcome to the 24-hour news cycle, where daily newspapers, round-the-clock TV stations and thousands of news blogs compete to feed our voracious appetite for the latest, most engaging and most outrageous news.

Every day isn't a big news day, so journalists sometimes scramble to fill airtime and column space with fresh and timely stories. That's where press releases come in.

Concisely written and targeted, press releases draw media attention to newsworthy events. Mainly used by public relations specialists, press releases are written to gain free publicity and contain enough information required to write a compelling news story.

A press release is a short, compelling news story written by a public relations professional and sent to targeted members of the media. The goal of a press release is to pique the interest of a journalist or publication. The press release should contain all the essential information (who? what? where? when? how? and most importantly why?) for the journalist to easily produce his own story. 
A press release must be useful, accurate and interesting; they are in actuality "cookie cutter". Once you get the hang of writing them, all you do is fill in the blanks, as press releases conform to an established format. Journalists receive so many releases a day, they have set standards and expectations that you must conform to just to have your release read, let alone published.


Press Release Format

Read and follow carefully.
Press releases should be printed on company letterhead. (Use the logo of the organization you have chosen) The organization's name, web address, location address and phone number should be printed clearly at the top of the page. PRESS RELEASE should be spelled out in all CAPS and centered in bold. The press release contact person's name (that's you) should be underneath the wording and all contact numbers printed clearly underneath. (Use the school's number) If the press release is for IMMEDIATE RELEASE, say so, on the left margin directly above the title in all caps.

Title

The next essential component of the press release is the Headline or Title. It should be centered, and in bold. The heading of the press release should capture the journalist. The title of the press release should be short and snappy, and hopefully grabbing the attention of the journalist and impressing them enough to read on.
You are now ready for the useful, accurate and interesting BODY of the PR. The body of the press release begins with the date and city for which the press release is originated. The body of the press release is very basic; who, what, where, when and why.
The first paragraph of the press release should contain in brief detail what the press release is about.

The second paragraph explains, in detail: who cares; why you should care; where one can find it; when it will happen. Also, included in the second ‘informative’ paragraph is generally a quote that gives the release a personal touch. Touchy-feelies go a long way with journalists. Press releases and news stories are boring to journalists without a ‘human interest’.

The third and generally final paragraph is a summation of the release and further information on your event with the event's coordinator's (someone in your group) contact information clearly spelled out.

The content of the press release, beginning with the date and city of origin, should be typed in a clear, basic font (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.) and double-spaced. If your press release exceeds one page, the second page should indicate ‘ Page Two’ in the upper right hand corner. (Yours will only be one page) Journalistic standards have set basic parameters to define the end of a press release: ###. Three # symbols, centered directly underneath the last line of the release indicate the end of a it.

Checklist


  • Company Letterhead, Name, Address, Phone Number, Web Address
  • PRESS RELEASE in all caps
  • Contact Person’s Name
  • Immediate Release or Release Date(all caps)
  • HEADLINE or TITLE in BOLD/CAPS
  • BODY-Date/City-who,what,when,where and why.
  • Catchy Text
  • Sum it up…
  • Basic Font, Double Spaced, Page Numbers, and ###

Morning Mist Health Foods Inaugurates College Town Marathon


Morning Mist Health Foods Inc. had its beginnings in Chapel Hill, NC. Now the national chain has returned to the college town to sponsor the First Annual Chapel Hill-Durham Marathon. The race will take place on April, 27th and has already attracted many well-known marathoners, including multi-race winners Herb Putkin and Shelly Walters.

“Morning Mist is all about health and staying young,” said company CEO Manny Squire, “What better way to give back than to have a road race between these two great college towns.”

Morning Mist was founded by Squire and college roommate Tracy Scroggins as a small health food store in Chapel Hill near the University of North Carolina campus. The company grew to several stores in the Raleigh area, including one in Durham near Duke University. Morning Mist has expanded to forty-five full-size grocery stores nationwide.

“The race will start in front of the Duke store and follow highway 501 to the original Chapel Hill store,” said company president Scroggins. “We hope this becomes a great tradition”.

Morning Mist Health Food was founded in 1989. It is headquartered in Raleigh, NC, and employs 12,500 people in the US and Canada. It is listed on NASDAQ as MMHF.

Each August, Edinburgh, Scotland, becomes the one of the most magical places on earth as performing artists from all over the world take part in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  The whole city becomes a stage and visitors can view performances everywhere from playgrounds to conference rooms, from city parks to churches.  The Fringe Festival includes more than 2,000 different performances of music, theatre, dance, and comedy during its three-week run.
