Vocus, Inc. is sponsoring a Webinar well worth checking out.

It’s called “Five Key Ways to Distribute Your News” and it will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 2:00 pm ET. To register for the Webinar, go to http://tinyurl.com/5kjvto.

It’s featuring Michael Pranikoff, Director of Emerging Media at PR Newswire, and Michelle Boykins, Director of Communications at the National Crime Prevention Council.

According to the New Communications Review Blog:

They will discuss and identify five essential channels to distribute news to reach not only the media but consumers and other audiences as well. The webinar will explore how traditional distribution tools and new technology complement each other to maximize the company’s message and create a successful PR program.

Part of Vocus’ monthly series, this webinar is designed to provide an educational and informational resource for organizations to gain insight into the best practices for public relations and practical techniques that can be applied to their everyday communications campaigns. A replay of the webinar will be available free of charge following the event on the Vocus web site at http://onlinepressroom.net/vocus/, under Events.

I saw Michael Pranikoff speak in NYC last month and he was fantastic. A great speaker, incredibly knowledgable about social media and very accessible.

He’s the kind of guy I’d go back and see speak again and again. His insights have huge value.
