Here’s a chance for publicists to generate some super publicity for their clients who are experts in workplace issues.
Mildred Culp, who writes the syndicated column called WorkWise, which appears in newspapers from The Miami Heralds to The Modesto (CA) Bee, needs sources in two areas:
Ethnic Minorities
She wants pitches by or about ethnic minority sources from any part of the United States on ideas related to:
- Emerging trends in the workplace
- On-the-job issues (people at work)
- Job-hunting.
Please don’t pitch stories about an ethnic business that has nothing to do with workplace trends or job-hunting.
Updating job skills
Updating skills may be a condition of employment, and everyone knows that lots of people want to work. WorkWise needs sources to identify those skills, other than highly technical ones, and how to proceed.
Mildred says:
“This column doesn’t cover small business issues, although small business owners and their employees who have employment-related ideas are featured. It also doesn’t cover job sites, non-profits, public relations or internet-dependent topics. It’s all about people at work. You will be asked to provide an action photo to editors’ specs, which a colleague or friend should be able to take.”
Email your ideas to her at Workwise at Comcast.net.

Hope this helps. Tom Morales is the founder of The Morales Group http://www.moralesgroup.net. His company is a staffing and fulfillment company specializing in the Hispanic/Latino market. It is very well repected in the Indiana market and is one of the Top 100 Hispanic Businesses in America. Tom graduated years ago with honors in engineering from Purdue University. He also has 3 other related companies. I am sure he can help.
