During the week of November 20 through November 27, 2022, Moscow police held two major press conferences while also issuing daily updates as investigators worked to determine who killed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the November 20 briefing, Chief James Fry and other officials clarified the timeline surrounding the 911 call, explaining that surviving roommates had summoned friends because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and that multiple people spoke with dispatchers before police arrived. Investigators said they did not believe the surviving roommates, the friends present when 911 was called, the private driver who brought Kaylee and Madison home, or the man seen with them at the food truck were involved. Police also continued to say they believed the killings were targeted, while acknowledging they still had no suspect in custody and had not recovered the murder weapon.At the November 23 press conference, authorities again emphasized that they had no named suspect while describing the increasingly large investigation underway. Police said they had collected 103 pieces of evidence, taken roughly 4,000 photographs, created three-dimensional scans of the King Road house and devoted hundreds of hours to forensic processing. They also said they had been unable to substantiate reports that Kaylee had a stalker, cleared the man she and Madison repeatedly tried to call shortly before the murders and continued asking the public for video, tips and other information. By November 27, police reported that more than 488 digital-media submissions had been sent to investigators and acknowledged the growing fear in Moscow, with calls about unusual activity and welfare checks rising sharply. The week of briefings showed an investigation expanding rapidly in manpower and evidence collection, but still without the central answers the public wanted most: who committed the murders, what the motive was and where the killer had gone.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Is the press release dead, or just living on in a different form? In this episode of The Little Questions, hosts Jenny Scott and James Kirkup, both Partners at Apella Advisors, compare journalist habits and modern comms strategy. They discuss how AI, owned channels, and trusted relationships are reshaping story traction. Jenny and James ask if press releases still have a meaningful role in modern communications. They discuss why mass distribution rarely works, and why a press release is more effective when it supports a relevant story and an established journalist relationship. The conversation explores how press releases can function as briefing notes, sources of factual information and become part of a company's searchable public record in the age of AI. The press release itself is only one element of a wider communications strategy. They also consider the growing importance of owned channels, CEO communications, blogs, podcasts and direct audience engagement. They give examples from Octopus Energy, Relx, and Games Workshop to help illustrate different approaches to corporate storytelling and media relations. The episode provides practical advice for comms teams: focus on the corporate narrative first, share concrete evidence rather than speculation, use clear facts and bullet points, and treat the press release as one tool within a broader communications toolbox. This podcast is hosted by James Kirkup and Jenny Scott.   James has over 20 years in high-profile Westminster roles including Political Editor of the Daily Telegraph and Director of the Social Market Foundation. Extensive experience of thought leadership and advocacy work, with a particular focus on the relationship between business, politics and public policy.

Noah Pines spent seven years as a prosecutor in Georgia — weighing sentences, navigating cases, trying to be a fair voice inside a system that does not always reward fairness — before leaving to become a criminal defense attorney and discovering what the justice system looks like from the other side of the courtroom. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Georgia prosecutor really required of him, why he left after seven years to defend the people he used to prosecute, what working Innocence Project cases and overturning twenty year wrongful conviction sentences actually involved, what the current problems with prosecutors in America actually look like from someone who spent seven years inside that world, and what representing people accused of the worst crimes available actually requires of the attorney who takes those cases. _____________________________________________ #lawyer #criminallaw #prosecutor #truecrimepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Mickie Kennedy - eReleases On Good PR: "Every time you're getting ready to issue a press release that you feel is meaningful to you, think about how can I make it meaningful for that audience person, making them want to read it, make it easier for a journalist to say, yeah, I think my audience would love to hear that." When a woman starts a business and/ or becomes successful, often she does this with pain that has been quelling in her for years.  As an entrepreneur, we push through pain, but eventually it may be time to address Advertising is expensive and doesn't always move the needle.  Marketing as a whole has many options, and PR is one of them.  You see, sharing a press release is taking the steps to get your business out of the paid world of eyeballs and into the world of eyeballs that pay to see you.  That is a much better place to be. But how do you get in the news?  What are the rules of the game for writing and sending these press releases, and who do you send them to? Mickie Kennedy has eReleases, a press release company that caters to the small business that wants to grow, knows the value of press releases, yet has no idea where to start and certainly doesn't have the connections in the journalism world to Enjoy!

We work with authors, used to be mostly self-published authors, but over the past, I would say, 12 to 14 years, we work with a lot of traditionally published authors as well. You know, everything under the sun. We work with a lot of people who appear on Shark Tank, people doing side businesses, hoping that it'll turn into something. Everybody's out there trying to get a little attention and find a way in which they can make press releases work for them. James Kademan [00:00:25]: What is a press release? A press release? Mickie Kennedy [00:00:27]: Basically, it's an announcement to the media. I always tell people, if you are looking to work for— with a PR firm, you want to make sure that you choose one that is in your industry. The biggest mistake that I see and the most amount of money that I've seen people waste is working with a local PR firm thinking that that was the way to go when they should have chosen a PR firm that focused on their industry. James Kademan [00:00:55]: You have found Authentic Business Adventures, the business program that brings you the struggle stories and triumphant successes of business owners across the land. Downloadable audio episodes can be found on the podcast link found at drawincustomers.com. We are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie, Calls on Call Extraordinary Answering Service, as well as the Bold Business Book. And today we're welcoming slash preparing to learn from Mickey Kennedy of eReleases. Mickey, how is it going today? Mickie Kennedy [00:01:23]: Good, good. James Kademan [00:01:25]: Excellent. And tell me, we're talking about press releases for businesses, is that right? Mickie Kennedy [00:01:31]: That's correct, yes. James Kademan [00:01:32]: All right, tell me a story. What is eReleases? Mickie Kennedy [00:01:36]: So, uh, we are a press release distribution company. We send releases out over PR Newswire, which is the oldest and national press release newswire here in the United States. It's basically a duopoly, PR Newswire, then Business Wire. And we have been in business since 1998. We send out about a little over 10,000 press releases a year, giving mostly small businesses, entrepreneurs, startups access to the Wire at a huge discount because the Wire charges about $2,000 for a national press release going out of 600 words or so. And with us, it's about a third of that price. Wow. James Kademan [00:02:17]: All right. And how— tell me about the discount. How were you able to pull that off? Mickie Kennedy [00:02:23]: Because when they reached out to us years ago, they were really trying to promote like a city distribution. And I'm like, well, my clients are really looking for national media attention. And we kept communicating and I went and met their editorial team. And the one thing I noticed is They have an editorial team overnight, but they don't do much, they said. They said, we have to be there in case there's breaking news or, you know, something happens. And I was just like, well, what if I set up all my press releases for next business day so you could set them up overnight? Wouldn't cost you any additional labor. And they also looked at my customer profile, which is really small businesses, mostly people whose budgets are $2,000 or $3,000 a year. their salespeople would not reach out or want to recruit any customers like that. Mickie Kennedy [00:03:13]: They're going for Fortune 500 companies. They're looking for people who are spending $20,000 to $40,000 a year. So in that way, it was just found money for them. And doing 10,000+ releases a year, it's still a significant amount of money that we're sending them, but it is a huge discount. And, you know, some of our customers do graduate and become much larger, and then we just introduce them directly to PR Newswire and they can work directly with them. James Kademan [00:03:40]: Sure. I suppose if the PR actually works the way a business owner wants it to work, then we hope they graduate up. Mickie Kennedy [00:03:46]: Yeah, absolutely. James Kademan [00:03:48]: Right on. Is there a certain vertical of industry that you typically work with? Mickie Kennedy [00:03:52]: We work with all different types of verticals. We work with authors, used to be mostly self-published authors, but over the past, I would say, 12 to 14 years, we work with a lot of traditionally published authors as well. Seems like the publishers aren't doing marketing anymore, even for established presses and publishers that you've heard of. And so, you know, everything under the sun. We work with a lot of people who appear on Shark Tank. The producers recommend that they do a press release before their episode airs, and we get mentioned quite a bit as a good place for them to send their releases. And so, you know, I think that everything under the sun is who we work with. You know, people doing side businesses, hoping that it'll turn into something. Mickie Kennedy [00:04:39]: You know, people who have small businesses that might have 20 or 30 employees. Employees or even more mid-sized companies moving from there. But I would say it's a pretty mix across all different types of industries. We see everything from technology to, like, you know, waste management to, you know, really, you know, a local carpet company in New Jersey. So everybody's out there trying to, you know, get a little attention and find a way in which they can make press releases work for them. James Kademan [00:05:09]: Sure. How do people end up— or business owners, I should say— how do they end up finding you? Mickie Kennedy [00:05:15]: So a lot of it is either word of mouth or they're doing searches. And, you know, they'll come across us as maybe a blog post that we've written. We've been in business for a long time, so we have over 1,000 articles out there. We also advertise on Google and some other places. But I think You know, I would say probably half of all new customers are just direct referrals. And so someone has suggested they give us a try and, you know, they reach out to us. It's more consultative because a lot of people don't know how it works. So they'll either call and speak to one of our editors or chat or email with us. Mickie Kennedy [00:05:56]: And we walk people through their first press release and their first PR campaign on a a weekly basis. James Kademan [00:06:03]: Sure. Let's lay down the foundation of press releases just so that people understand. What is a press release? Mickie Kennedy [00:06:10]: Basically, it's an announcement to the media. It's usually written in the third person. If you're writing in the first person, it's usually a quote, a company quote, or someone being quoted in, in the press release. They're generally— you've probably seen they say for immediate release at the top. They might have a dateline with the city, state, and the date of distribution. And there's usually a media contact towards the bottom, someone that the media could contact if they have more questions or if they need something a little more specific, like, hey, I really like this, but I'd like to get a quote around this topic, you know, and do you feel like that would be a good fit? So, you know, that's what it is. It's a lot of these just go out on a regular basis. Publicly traded companies have to issue these types of things just to keep their public informed about it so that investors don't feel like they're, you know, something happens that's significant and they weren't notified or given some kind of,...

A nuclear threat. 150,000 drones. And two nuclear powers testing just how far the other is willing to go. In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines the dangerous standoff between Russia and Britain through the unforgiving logic of game theory. Moscow warns of devastating consequences if Britain continues supplying Ukraine, while London refuses to blink. But after years of Russian red lines being crossed without the threatened retaliation, are these warnings credible, or has nuclear rhetoric become strategic "cheap talk"? The answer may be more unsettling than the headlines. While NATO's Article 5 makes a direct attack extraordinarily costly, the real battlefield could be hiding below the threshold of war, where sabotage, arson, cyberattacks, and attacks on critical infrastructure can inflict damage without firing a missile at London.

Michael Wayne grew up in Mississippi, attended the Naval Academy, left after his father died, built a career in business and investments while running a hedge fund for fifteen years, spent twenty-five years as a clandestine CIA contractor operating across some of the most sensitive and most dangerous missions available — and then went to Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion to organize humanitarian aid, evacuate women and children from combat zones, train Ukrainian soldiers, and deliver equipment to the front line before discovering widespread corruption tied to Ukraine aid that he says reached powerful US politicians. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what twenty-five years as a CIA contractor actually looked like from the inside, what changed after 9/11 in the intelligence world, what the Ukraine work actually involved, what the corruption he discovered actually implicated, and what the DOJ prosecution that followed his decision to push back against that corruption actually produced — including a wire fraud conviction, a federal prison sentence at FPC Montgomery, and what he believes was a deliberate government effort to make him a convicted felon before he could become a whistleblower. _____________________________________________  #TrueCrime #espionage #cia #prisonstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Responders, representing relevant authorities and humanitarian actors, rely on online communication during and after disasters and emergencies - both as a tool to reach exposed populations, to organize and coordinate responses and to mobilize resources. However, disasters and emergencies also spark more problematic online attention and reactions including the targeting of marginalized populations. IFRCs World Disaster Report 2026 featured a contribution from Yasin Duman, Research Specialist and Shona Whitton, Heading the Technical Team both representing the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement MHPSS Hub. The topic of the contribution was Online racism and mental health after disasters. This podcast, moderated by Dr. Carmen Valle-Trabadelo, Head of the Communications, Humanitarian Diplomacy and Research Team in the MHPSS Hub, pics up some of the key-examples discussed in the contribution and links them to the broader discussion of the mental health implications, the causalities that generate them and the potential mitigation measures needed to address them.For further information: IFRC World Disaster Report, Contribution, Online racism and mental health after disasters.

What happens when the newest users on your network aren't people at all? At Cisco Live, I sat down with Aruna Ravichandran, SVP and CMO for AI, Networking, and Collaboration at Cisco, to discuss a shift that could change how organizations think about networks, operations, and AI over the coming years. For decades, enterprise networks have been built around human behavior. People work predictable hours, take holidays, and generally follow familiar patterns. AI agents are different. They work continuously, analyze information around the clock, and increasingly act as digital teammates that can help organizations monitor, troubleshoot, and improve operations at a scale that would be impossible for humans alone. During our conversation, Aruna explained why AI is no longer just an application discussion. As organizations deploy more digital teammates, networks must support a new type of user that never sleeps, never stops learning, and can help identify issues before employees even arrive at work. We explore Cisco's vision for AgenticOps, the role of Cisco Cloud Control as a unified command center, and how AI-driven operations are helping reduce complexity for teams already overwhelmed by alerts, dashboards, and operational overhead. Aruna also shared her perspective on one of the biggest challenges facing the industry today: trust. While the technology is advancing rapidly, organizations need confidence that their digital teammates can make reliable recommendations and support critical operations without removing human oversight. That balance between automation and accountability sits at the heart of Cisco's approach. We also discuss why domain expertise still matters in the age of AI, how Cisco is drawing on decades of networking experience to build purpose-built models, and why the next few years may see every IT professional supported by an expanding team of digital coworkers. If you've been wondering how AI will move beyond chat interfaces and become part of everyday operations, this conversation offers an interesting look at where networking, automation, and AI are heading next. How many digital teammates do you think you'll be working alongside in the next few years, and what tasks would you trust them to handle first?     Useful LInks Anurag Dhingra's blog DJ Sampath's blog Aruna's LinkedIn post re.

Blair Huddy has been in B2B marketing and PR for over 15 years, and in this episode we chat about why press releases are having a quiet comeback thanks to AI, how LinkedIn actually works (it's closer to TikTok than you'd think), and what it takes to build an audience that genuinely wants to hear from you. Blair also shares how she approaches contrarian takes without burning professional bridges, what LinkedIn jail actually looks like, and why writing the way you talk is still the most underused strategy on the platform.

Most AEC firms treat PR like a nice-to-have, something you think about after you've won the work. Julia Bonner, founder and president of Pierce Public Relations, has spent her career proving that's exactly backwards. In this conversation with Bryce, Julia gets into what strategic communications actually looks like for firms in the built environment and why the firms investing in their story now are the ones winning the work later. Pierce PR is a certified woman-owned boutique agency working with some of the most recognized names in AEC, Wold Architects and Engineers, ESa, Reeves Young, BELL Construction. Julia started her career in New York City with a master's degree from NYU, built a practice around the built environment, and has become one of Nashville's most recognized business leaders in the process. She's not talking about press releases and award submissions. She's talking about what it takes to build a brand that actually moves a business forward. This episode is for firm leaders who know their work speaks for itself and are starting to realize that might not be enough. About Julia Bonner: Julia Bonner is the founder and president of Pierce Public Relations, a certified woman-owned boutique PR and marketing agency specializing in the AEC and professional services industries. Her clients include Wold Architects and Engineers, ESa, Reeves Young, and BELL Construction. A Nashville-based leader, Julia holds an M.S. in Public Relations and Corporate Communication from NYU and a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Tennessee. She is a recipient of the Nashville Business Journal's Most Admired CEO Award (2024), Women of Influence Award (2020), and 40 Under 40 Award (2017), and has been named to the Nashville Post's "In Charge" list four consecutive years (2022-2025). Website: https://pierce-pr.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaebonner/ What We Cover: Introduction and Julia's path from NYU and New York City to building Pierce PR in Nashville What PR and strategic communications actually means for AEC firms — beyond press releases and award submissions Why most firms in the built environment wait too long to invest in their brand What the best communicators in AEC do differently than everyone else How Julia has grown Pierce PR to represent some of the most recognized names in the industry What it means to run a woman-owned boutique agency in a historically male-dominated space Julia's community leadership — ULI Nashville, Young Leaders Council, Nashville Film Festival — and why she invests there What she's learned about leadership from building her own firm Where to find Pierce PR and what working with them looks like Key Takeaways: PR is not reactive — the firms using it strategically are building relationships and reputation before they ever need them Most AEC firms undersell themselves not because they lack good stories, but because they're too close to their own work to see what's remarkable about it A boutique agency in a specialized industry can outperform a generalist firm every time — because deep industry knowledge changes everything about how you tell the story Community investment isn't separate from business building — it's how the best leaders create lasting influence Running a woman-owned business in AEC requires both credibility and persistence in equal measure

Part 2 of this Prime Day series uncovers the AI, Rufus, retargeting, inventory, and deal strategies Amazon sellers may be overlooking before the big event. In part 2 of this two-part Prime Day strategy series, Shivali Patel and Carrie Miller bring together another lineup of Amazon, advertising, AI, logistics, and e-commerce experts to share what sellers should be doing before, during, and after major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day. This episode goes beyond basic discounting and looks at the bigger picture: retargeting high-intent shoppers, optimizing listings for both A9 and Rufus, improving product images, planning inventory, and using external traffic to create more sales opportunities.   The conversation starts with PPC and listing optimization strategies with Vincenzo Toscano, including how to build Sponsored Display campaigns around shoppers who viewed your products but did not buy, analyze competitor reviews with Helium 10, and track share of voice to spot openings when competitors lose visibility. Andrew Bell also walks through Helium 10's AI Listing Optimizer, showing how sellers can use product images, buyer questions, keywords, and Rufus-focused prompts to create listings that are both searchable and conversion-friendly.   This second installment also dives into overlooked growth channels outside of Amazon. Norm Farrar's strategy about how sellers should learn how Google Business Profile posts, offers, events, press releases, and deal communities can help drive traffic before, during, and after Prime Day. On the operations side, Burak Yolga explains why inventory check-in timing can make or break a sales event, and why sellers should think carefully about FBA placement, reimbursement audits, FBM backup listings, and omnichannel expansion.   To close out this two-part series, more experts like, Anthony Cofranceso, Mansour Norouzi, Tomer Rabinovich, and Josh Hadley share more ways to make smarter decisions with data and AI, from Prime Day deal structures and post-event remarketing to variation research, customer reporting, hiring workflows, and Market Tracker 360. Whether you are preparing for Prime Day, launching new variations, improving your product detail page, or protecting profit margins, this episode shows how the right preparation can turn a short-term shopping event into long-term brand growth.

In this episode, we sit down with Mady Lanni, Senior PR Strategist at Manychat — the social media automation platform powering those viral "comment to get the link" moments you see across Instagram and TikTok every day. Mady's path to PR wasn't linear (criminal justice degree, anyone?), and that outside perspective has shaped a refreshingly sharp, social-first approach to a field that's rapidly changing. She gets real about the slow death of traditional newsrooms and what it means for brands still relying on press releases, why journalists are migrating from X to LinkedIn and how to meet them there, how to move fast on reactive PR without sacrificing brand integrity, and why your most powerful spokespeople might not be your executives — they might be your creators. If you work in PR, marketing, or communications and want to understand where the industry is actually headed, this episode is your roadmap.Key Takeaways:// Social is where the news breaks first — follow it accordingly. Mady starts every morning in her social feed, not her inbox. Trending conversations happen on social before they hit anywhere else, and the PR pros who catch them earliest are the ones who get the reactive coverage. // Newsrooms are shrinking, and modern PR has to evolve with them. Traditional media outlets are downsizing. Journalists are building their own Substacks and newsletters. What "media" means is fundamentally shifting.// LinkedIn is the new Twitter for journalists. Mady sees a clear migration happening: journalists who used to live on X are moving to LinkedIn for connections, relationship-building, and DMs. // Always be able to answer "okay, and so what?" Before pitching any story, Mady asks herself whether the news genuinely matters to anyone outside the marketing team. If the only people excited about it are internal, it's a brand moment, not a PR moment. // Creators are replacing executives as the most credible spokespeople. Journalists and readers are craving authenticity, and polished executive quotes often fall flat. // Press releases are a tool, not a strategy. The future of PR is more creative, more relatable, and more human. Connect with Mady: LinkedIn____Join the MHH Collective!

In Jim's hands today is a Press Release from the office of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Senator Johnson is chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Last Wednesday he held a hearing titled, "Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals." It's a hearing that drew little media attention. Along with this hearing, Senator Johnson released a report of approximately 600 pages of records that detailed how beginning in early 2021, FDA officials became aware of a new "state of the art" data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 shots. Rather than adopt this method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented the FDA from detecting adverse events. Senator Johnson indicates that Peter Marks, head of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was treating vaccine injuries that were life-threatening and people were pleading with the FDA and NIH to make this pubic, but never did so. Senator Johnson indicated, "We've got a real big problem in this country about vaccine-injury deniers." Again, these vaccine injuries are real, but it's being denied. While this hearing was far longer than a Crosstalk program, listen to Senator Johnson's opening remarks, Ranking Member Senator Blumenthal, the lead Democrat of the Committee, and the witnesses.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their coverage of the Charity Beallis case with a look at what divorce court records say about her marriage and life with Dr. Randy Beallis.  Charity was found dead by gunshot along with her 6–year-old twins just one day after her final divorce hearing on Dec. 3, 2025, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Based on the hearing transcript Mandy and Liz share their opinions about what was going on in Charity's relationship with Randy. Also on the show, Charity's lifelong best friend Kayla talks about who Charity was as a friend, a mom and a woman struggling in an allegedly controlling relationship — as well as Charity's surviving son's search for a legal team to help with his mom's investigation (and potentially pursue legal action).  As the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office and prosecutor's office continue to operate in the dark, Charity's son, John Powell, is taking on the fight to get justice for his mother and his siblings.

Why did police in Arkansas lie about Charity Beallis' final divorce hearing in their latest press release in the case? After the Sebastian County Sheriffs Office released a strange statement indicating that Charity died by suicide and her 6-year-old twins died by homicide, investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dug into the records to find out exactly what happened in that hearing hours before Charity and her children died. Sources say that Charity was shot twice on the evening of Dec. 2 in Bonanza, Arkansas. A new investigation reveals turmoil between the sheriff's office and Charity before the murders and connections that make us suspicious of corruption.  While a police press release attempts to absolve Randy Beallis from the crime — which he has never been named a suspect of and says he was not responsible for the deaths of his family members — we still have questions.
