Anne Tiedt

During Mass Comm week I got to hear a speaker for public relations. Anne Tiedt talked about the ten things to know when working in public relations. The first thing you should know is that comprehensive communication efforts are most effective. Second, PR is more than just calling the media. Third, clients and companies always want the article, followed by what is news? Next is how to get the ink including the four keys to PR success. The next thing to know is what makes a good PR practitioner, then what to do when the media calls. What is special about your graduating class is number eight on the list followed by "not personal, just business," and finally the last thing to know is the "now what?" factor. Anne Tiedt runs her own public relations practice in Austin, Texas and has worked with numerous companies such as Cricket. My proof of this event is the evidence of her phone number and e-mail.
