IABC Lincoln to Host Emmy-Winning Jeff Crilley at May Event

Jeff Crilley, author of “Free Publicity” and a decorated TV news reporter, will share the secrets of getting good news stories without dropping a bundle at a special IABC Lincoln (lincoln.iabc.com) presentation. The event, which is open to the public, is set for 11:30 a.m. at NET on Wednesday, May 17.

Crilley retired from the news business after 25 years to start an all-journalist PR firm. He uses his experience at CNN, CNN Headline News, FOX News, The Discovery Channel, Good Morning America and The CBS Early Show to show small business owners, non-profit agencies and PR pros how to market their message to the media, keep reporters coming back for more and how to time press releases, interviews and news conferences. Crilley also will address the challenges of negative news.

Reservations for this event can be made online at lincoln.iabc.com. Cost (which includes lunch) is $20 for members, $10 for full-time students and $30 for guests. Registration and networking begin at 11:30, with the one-hour presentation slated for noon.
