They say communications – specifically public relations – is one of the more tactical, strategic, and yes, I'll admit, stressful jobs, you can have. Eleanor Hawkins would probably agree. A former PR professional, she is now a reporter for Axios covering the PR & communications industry. In her Axios Communicators newsletter, she tracks the biggest news items of the day and looks at them through a PR lens. On this episode of Press Profiles, we talk to Eleanor about some recent newsworthy events – President Trump's DEI rollback, the tragic crash of American Airlines flight 5342 in Washington DC, and even, the knockdown, drag out Hollywood PR battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni – and the role PR played in each event. It's an interesting conversation that pulls back the curtain on the industry. We also talk to Eleanor about her career journey, learning to write in Axios's signature “Smart Brevity” style, her go to restaurant in Alabama, and even her work with Cookie Monster. Yep, we cover all that and a whole lot more.

In this episode, Kate sat down with our very own Jen Whitelaw, PR professional and former C-3 President. Jen first shares her career path from English studies to public relations and urban planning. She discusses a few of her favorite tools for reaching the public about important topics like density and sustainability through her work with organizations like C-3. Jen highlights some successful strategies for engaging diverse audiences, emphasizing the power of the public to influence how our city gets shaped. She explains why it's so important to engage the public and younger generations in advocacy work around land use issues and shaping San Diego's future, and discusses two documentary films that brought important conversations to the community. Timestamps: [2:33] How Jen's formative years living on Del Mar Mesa shaped her appreciation for conservation. [3:13] A glimpse at Jen's career history and the influence that Jen's mom's architectural career had on her own vision. [4:08] Jen's experience working at the San Diego Film Commission. [5:47] How Jen's interest in marketing and public relations originated. [7:24] Why Jen expanded her career path to urban planning and land planning, and the impact of interpreting and facilitating communication between the industry and the media. [9:23] A few of Jen's favorite tools to engage the public and community groups on land use issues. [11:41] The power of the public when it comes to advocacy. [14:31] How social media can facilitate conversation and action between the public and policymakers. [15:31] The City of Villages plan. [18:38] Was there a failure within San Diego to get the public on board? [20:26] The impetus for making “Designing for the Future” and how they distributed the film. [24:26] “San Diego Canyonlands”.

About C-3 Even before the California Coastal Commission or Environmental Protection Agency existed, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) was the environmental conscience of San Diego. Since that time, in part due to C-3's leadership in education, advocacy, and empowerment, a plethora of organizations have developed throughout San Diego County. These organizations specifically focus on promoting progressive values in architecture, urban design, land-use governance, natural resource management, sustainable economic development, climate change resilience, and social justice. As the field of allies has grown, C-3's role has evolved to provide a platform that promotes creating civic community. Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Jen Whitelaw LinkedIn Quotes: “To be able to communicate effectively through writing, I can't emphasize it enough, for someone who wants to go into that field (PR), it's really, really important.” — Jen [7:09] “I think that curiosity has been a theme throughout my life. I really enjoy learning about things.” — Jen [8:46] “If you want to accomplish something, first, you need to make sure that people understand the subject.” — Jen [11:55] “Everyone wants to be heard. When people have a voice in something and feel like they're being heard and helping to shape something, they are almost inherently on board.” — Jen [12:45] “Fear is such a powerful motivator and unfortunately, there's not a lot of innovation that usually comes out of fear, it's more of a wall.” — Jen [19:30] “You've got to involve the younger generations because they're going to be the decision-makers coming up, and that's such a unique opportunity and a special opportunity.” — Jen [25:30] “There's power in not knowing what you can't do yet, and you surprise yourself because you just go and do it.” — Jen [32:43] “[C-3's] a really important platform for giving voice to voices that aren't always part of the discussion, and aren't always well funded.” — Jen [36:29]

In deze laatste aflevering van 2023 blikken Judith en Jos terug op het communicatiejaar 2023. En nog iets over de kerstborrel van gisteravond. We spreken uitgebreid met Rocco Mooij over het gebrek van verhalen van bedrijven in de media, hoe dat komt en wat we er aan kunnen doen. Hoewel Jos de Barbie-film niet te pruimen vond en Judith wel, vonden ze gezamenlijk toch iets goeds aan de film. We beantwoorden de vraag of dat genootschap van hoofdredacteuren nou een punt hebben of dat het toch een beetje zeurpieten zijn. En last not bot least. We wensen iedereen hele zalige kerstdagen!

In part 1, we meet Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN, a San Diego and Poet/RN/Veteran and PR Professional who recently published the 2nd edition of (my 1993 book) Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring in 2021. We learn about her beginnings and where she developed the creative nature for writing. The book is not only for nurses but for those who care about and support them (especially with this pandemic). "Nursing is an incredibly enriching yet stressful profession and besides being a science, it is truly an art. This second edition of Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring is dedicated to all nurses - past, present, and future. It is a celebration of nursing and a tribute to nurses, especially during this unexpected, unprecedented pandemic. Covid-19 took its toll on nurses during 2020 and hopefully the impact of stress and burnout will be lessened with time and the arts. Poetry can be a therapeutic and cathartic tool for nurses and other caring professions to deal with the angst, stressors or joys that accompany the profession." - Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN You can purchase the book here: https://books2read.com/poeticexpressionsinnursing

For guest inquiries, sponsorships, and general questions please email: jamie@touchingbasepr.com About The Host Hi! My name is Jamie Goerke. I'm used to the 280 character limit that Twitter gives me, but since I have more room here, let me tell you about myself! I graduated from Binghamton University in December of 2020 with a BA in English and I am looking to go into a career in the realm of public relations and social media. My passion lies in the field of athletics, whether that be college, professional sports, or athlete branding and marketing. However, I am open to learning and growing in different fields and have done internships in Lifestyle PR, higher education, and non-profit work. Currently, I am an Athletic Communications Graduate Assistant at St. John's University. In this role, I serve as the primary media contact for both Women's Volleyball and Softball, as well as being additional support for basketball. It is so exciting to be able to learn and grow new skills in the Big East Conference. Thanks to my position, I am also receiving a fully-funded Masters Degree in Sport Management. The knowledge I am learning in the classroom is invaluable. During undergrad, I took on leadership roles in various different clubs and organizations, including Dickinson Community Players (a student-run theatre group), Binghamton Dance Marathon (#FTK!), and my sorority, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi. I have worked with various different groups of people really honing in on my teamwork, leadership development, and communications skills. In addition, I spent two years interning in Binghamton's Athletic Department. Beyond the professional realm, I also am a creator. Since my YouTube comeback in January of 2019, I have been producing content focused on a wide variety of angles. My most popular videos include those depicting life at Binghamton University. My videos show every aspect of my life, encompassing my health and fitness journey and navigating post-grad life, the job-search and grad school.
