Week of April 23: More Public Relations Writing

This week, we’ll continue talking about different types of PR writing, including email story pitches and fact sheets.

If you haven’t watched the video below (also linked on the syllabus), you might like to check it out to see the journalist’s perspective on receiving story pitches from PR folks.

We’ll also talk about commas and essential/nonessential clauses on Wednesday of this week. Yay grammar! Here’s a great preview of that topic. As a Texas Longhorn, I hesitate to praise something produced by Texas A&M Aggies…but I have to admit that this is a good explanation.

Finally, Thursday will be a workshop day for you to ask questions about your email pitch and fact sheet drafts, get classmates’ comments if you wish, and then revise the assignments during class time.

Here’s to another great week of #mscm175!
