A panel of five media representatives will share tips on how to pitch your stories and get their attention. They are:
- Stephanie Siegel, @StephanieSiegel, NBC Today Show producer
- Charlie Brooks, producer for CBS Evening News, CBS This Morning and CBS Sunday Morning
- Vikki Ortiz Healy, @VikkiOrtiz, Chicago Tribune health and family reporter
- Aurora Aguilar, @aurorabr13, Modern Healthcare news editor
- Jessica Sanchez, Ivanhoe Productions supervising producer
The moderator is Nesita Kwan, @NesitaKwan, former NBC-TV health reporter. The luncheon and program are from 11:30 to 2:30 at Maggiano’s Little Italy, 516 North Clark St. I’ve attended several of these luncheons, which give visitor a chance to ask questions during the program and meet the media afterward. It’s also a chance to network with publicists and others in the PR industry.
