Baruch College – Newman Library Building #750
This informative event courtesy of Prof. Gene Donati
On both the corporate and agency side the public relations profession has changed dramatically over the past few years and has been impacted more than most industries by the Internet and other communication tools. Industry leaders will detail how the industry has changed, how it had remained the same and what direction it will take going forward. Speakers will extract from their own experiences and explain what role the Internet has played, how down-sized newspapers have impacted their clients’ goals and objectives and how direct to consumer opportunities have changed the ground rules. They will also explore what qualities and skills sets are necessary for beginners to be successful in the public relations career.

Looking for a Spring / Summer ‘10 Internship? Follow This 7 Step Success Plan
Now is the time to start your search if you’re looking for a Spring / Summer ‘10 internship. Most “for credit” internships are for 3 credits; students usually work 12-15 hours per week, for a 15-18 week period (about 180 hours/semester).
In order to qualify, you should have completed 12-15 hours (4-5 classes) in your major. If you have completed less than 12 hours, chances are slim that the department will approve your internship request.
Understand we cannot file paperwork with the CCNY Registrar until your internship is finalized by a hiring manager. “We might hire you in January” doesn’t count; it has to be a firm internship offer. Thus, most internships may not officially be included on your schedule until the first few weeks of the Spring ’10 semester.
Your internship experience should provide “real world” insight to your field of study, such as advertising, public relations, journalism or film/video. Students are encouraged to research and fact-find to secure the right internship for their unique and special talents. The department assists you with ideas and leads—but does not do the work for you.
In the highly competitive communications field, “the hunt” is part of an exciting game. Part of “the reward” is being selected from a talent pool of many and feeling the “thrill of victory” when you land the prized internship of your dreams!
This fall, CCNY-MCA students are interning at Sony Pictures, Anderson Cooper 360, Time Warner/People Magazine, NY1 and The Plaza Hotel-Marketing, to name a few. Understand that your classmates did it—and so can you!
Our advice: Arm yourself with confidence and get your digital tools in order (resume / cover letter / writing samples / digital portfolio - if applicable) and embark on a deep dive internship search!
Follow these simple steps to get ahead of the competition:
1. Research 3-5 dream internships. Think about where you’d ideally like to work. These should be positions where you could gain experience and ultimately end up in an entry level position, if you’re diligent and play your cards right.
2. Update your resume. Add recent jobs, new skills, classes or interests. Yes, you may include informational blogs created for CCNY-MCA writing classes. Pay close attention to trends in the news and think about how you can link your unique skills to what potential employers are looking for. Since social media is all the rave, then fine-tune your resume to show what you know! Be sure your resume includes buzz words that catch the eyes of human resource associates and internship directors, i.e. wording such as --
> Passionate about social media
> As founder of www.moviemaven.blogspot.com, diligent about connections with 800+ fellow movie-enthusiasts
Note: Wording like the above would be perfect if you’re applying for a job in publicity for Warner Bros. It shows the reader/potential employer that you’re adept in online marketing tools/blogging and have an online network that could potentially buy movie tickets. Make it easy for employers to see your strengths. Show them what you bring to the table.
Get creative! Think of your resume as a business card for Brand You!
3. Prepare a cover letter/email. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to get done. Professors and associates at the CCNY Career Services (NAC 1/116) and The Writing Center (NAC) can help you fine-tune the wording.
MCA professors strongly advise that you take advantage of the many resume writing workshops offered by the career center. Understand that you hold the reigns to your future. Make sure you utilize all the wonderful tools CCNY has put at your disposal during your college years.
The Career Center also offers free job placement assistance to graduates up to one full year after graduation. Take advantage of this wonderful academic benefit and spread the word to friends who have recently graduated.
4. Email MCA Internship Advisor Prof. Lynne Scott Jackson; lynne.scottjackson@gmail.com. We’ll schedule a sit down and help you devise a personal action plan.
5. In the next few weeks, you’ll apply for internships, with the goal of locking in a position (ideally) by year end. Understand you may have to go through a series of interviews before you land something—the internship/job market is that tight.
But, you’re in perhaps the best position, because you’re young and only subway ride away from the headquarters of the planet’s leading communications companies! Never forget that. Worse case scenario, you’ll go on interviews during the winter break and land something early in the year. Think with the end in mind (your coveted internship), stay positive and keep plugging! Never give up on yourself or your professional development.
6. Once your internship is secured, we’ll file paperwork with the CCNY registrar; this usually happens during the first two weeks of the Spring ’10 semester. Note: You cannot register for your internship online and the paperwork must be filed by the MCA department (not students); the university has instituted new policies.
7. Now the real work begins. Before your first day on the job, you should learn all you can about your new employer. Ideally, you will have done that during the interview phase, but here’s an opportunity to learn even more. That way you can start to impress you supervisor from day one.
Throughout the semester, we’ll touch bases to keep you on track. Your employer will evaluate your progress and you’ll be required to write a paper reflecting on your experience. This will include what you learned on the job and a little about how you could have been better prepared for the experience.
Stay tuned … near the end of the semester we may schedule another Internship Bootcamp to share tools for success. At the start of the Fall ‘09 semester our boot camp allowed dozens of students to share resources, gain confidence and be one step ahead of the pack in deciding what internship path may be the best fit.
Good luck with your midterms and good luck as you begin your search for a 2010 internship!

What is Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is North America's premier gathering of cutting edge communications leaders. The Week is a hybrid of thought leadership and special event programming, uniting clients, creatives, media and inspiring figures like Lorne Michaels, Ludacris, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Wales, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Donny Deutsch, Lewis Black, Chaka Khan, Bob Greenberg, Emeril, Jimmy Fallon, Ziggy Marley . . . and many more.
What is Advertising Week's mission?
Advertising Week's mission is to galvanize the industry by creating an entertaining, enlightening and engaging platform for disparate parts of the business. Along the way, The Week is a tangible force – moving key industry goals around talent and diversity forward via GeneratioNext, Advertising Futures and a broad partnership with Virtual Enterprise.
When is Advertising Week? September 21 - 25, 2009
Who organizes Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is governed by an independent Board of Directors led by Co-Chairs, Chuck Porter (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) and Linda Sawyer (Deutsch) and President Nancy Hill (4A's). Day-to-day, Stillwell Partners, led by Matt Scheckner along with Jillian Mellone and Lance Pillersdorf, work year-round to pull Advertising Week together. The Week also enjoys strong organizational support from more than 30 major industry trade associations.
How is Advertising Week funded?
Advertising Week receives no public or private subsidies or industry grants – it is a self-sustaining enterprise, privately funded by our fantastic Corporate Partners led by Adobe, AOL's Platform A, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Panasonic, and other supporters like, GE, Interpublic, Johnson & Johnson, MDC, NBC Universal, PricewaterhouseCoopers, USA Today . . . And many more, including the members of the Advertising Week Organizing Committee. You may also download a copy of the 2008 Official Guide to view the ads placed in the Guide by our extended family of supporters.
What's New for 2009?
Change and evolution are our hallmarks. The Thought Leadership program anchors remain, but the content will be 100% new. Tribeca Cinemas comes back into the fold re-establishing a downtown bookend to our nerve center in Times Square at The Times Center and the Nokia Theatre. The Paley Center drops out of the mix in 2009 during a construction phase. Integrated campaigns take center stage as the AAAA O'Toole Awards moves into Advertising Week. NEXUS expands to two days. And the U.S. Hispanic Television Summit moves into The Week as well.
How do I register for Advertising Week?
There are three easy steps you'll need to take.
First, you'll need to register with Advertising Week. This involves creating a username and password and selecting one of three clearly defined event packages.
Once you're logged in you can begin signing up for events. Just go to the Events Calendar, browse through the listings and select "Sign Up" to add events your calendar. Much of the 2009 calendar is already up and you should check regularly for updates.
Be sure to check out our special "Tracks" feature which will guide you through the extensive menu of Thought Leadership programming. And to see what industry peers are up to, join our Advertising Week Facebook family.
Once you are registered, you can log in anytime to the My Advertising Week page to view and manage the events you have signed up for. You can also upgrade your registration package, update your information or change your password.

What is Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is North America's premier gathering of cutting edge communications leaders. The Week is a hybrid of thought leadership and special event programming, uniting clients, creatives, media and inspiring figures like Lorne Michaels, Ludacris, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Wales, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Donny Deutsch, Lewis Black, Chaka Khan, Bob Greenberg, Emeril, Jimmy Fallon, Ziggy Marley . . . and many more.
What is Advertising Week's mission?
Advertising Week's mission is to galvanize the industry by creating an entertaining, enlightening and engaging platform for disparate parts of the business. Along the way, The Week is a tangible force – moving key industry goals around talent and diversity forward via GeneratioNext, Advertising Futures and a broad partnership with Virtual Enterprise.
When is Advertising Week? September 21 - 25, 2009
Who organizes Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is governed by an independent Board of Directors led by Co-Chairs, Chuck Porter (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) and Linda Sawyer (Deutsch) and President Nancy Hill (4A's). Day-to-day, Stillwell Partners, led by Matt Scheckner along with Jillian Mellone and Lance Pillersdorf, work year-round to pull Advertising Week together. The Week also enjoys strong organizational support from more than 30 major industry trade associations.
How is Advertising Week funded?
Advertising Week receives no public or private subsidies or industry grants – it is a self-sustaining enterprise, privately funded by our fantastic Corporate Partners led by Adobe, AOL's Platform A, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Panasonic, and other supporters like, GE, Interpublic, Johnson & Johnson, MDC, NBC Universal, PricewaterhouseCoopers, USA Today . . . And many more, including the members of the Advertising Week Organizing Committee. You may also download a copy of the 2008 Official Guide to view the ads placed in the Guide by our extended family of supporters.
What's New for 2009?
Change and evolution are our hallmarks. The Thought Leadership program anchors remain, but the content will be 100% new. Tribeca Cinemas comes back into the fold re-establishing a downtown bookend to our nerve center in Times Square at The Times Center and the Nokia Theatre. The Paley Center drops out of the mix in 2009 during a construction phase. Integrated campaigns take center stage as the AAAA O'Toole Awards moves into Advertising Week. NEXUS expands to two days. And the U.S. Hispanic Television Summit moves into The Week as well.
How do I register for Advertising Week?
There are three easy steps you'll need to take.
First, you'll need to register with Advertising Week. This involves creating a username and password and selecting one of three clearly defined event packages.
Once you're logged in you can begin signing up for events. Just go to the Events Calendar, browse through the listings and select "Sign Up" to add events your calendar. Much of the 2009 calendar is already up and you should check regularly for updates.
Be sure to check out our special "Tracks" feature which will guide you through the extensive menu of Thought Leadership programming. And to see what industry peers are up to, join our Advertising Week Facebook family.
Once you are registered, you can log in anytime to the My Advertising Week page to view and manage the events you have signed up for. You can also upgrade your registration package, update your information or change your password.

Hi Lynn,
I work for MCT Management in New York City, and we are looking for a few interns to help us out. I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at our listing and perhaps passing the world along to any of your students interested in artist management or online music marketing.
The majority of the internship will be dealing with online music marketing. We need help with promotion for our artists, so a lot of our interns spend a lot of time thinking up creative ways to get the word out there. We ask our interns to help us create new and innovative ways to develop and support our artists, as well as spending some time on various social networking sites as a tool to promote them.
Please let me know if anyone from your internship program can benefit from our company. (Posting below)
Thank you!

The New Hard Times :: New York Times Video Project Needs YOU!
This just in from Prof. Tag, whose friend is editor of video content at the New York Times. It’s never too soon to build your personal brand and it doesn’t get much better than sending a potential employer to a link to your work on the New York Times website!
Hello All:
We just launched a video project, The New Hard Times, which features conversations between people who lived through the Great Depression and young people (grandchildren, students, nieces, neighbors) who are grappling with the economic crisis today. There are two NYT videos up on the site right now and we’re asking for user generated video — that people pick up their video cameras and record memories and lessons from grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors, etc who lived through the Great Depression. We’re going to be posting a third Times video on the home page in a week or two and at that point we hope to have several user videos to display along with it.
It strikes me as an excellent opportunity for students to do the project and get their work displayed on The Times website.
Here is the link to the project: http://www.nytimes.com/thenewhardtimes.
Please pass along to anyone you think might be interested.
Thanks much.

PRSA-NY is trying to help PR professionals find jobs in this tough economic climate. As you may know, we are hosting a ‘Job Seeker Soiree’ on March 26th in NYC to bring together unemployed PR professionals, their supporters and recruiters from agencies and corporations.
If your company is actively seeking experienced PR professionals, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet up to 100 candidates in one evening. If you are not currently hiring, this is still a great opportunity to identify the best candidates to bring on board when you are ready. Please support our efforts by sending a representative from your company to meet with PR professionals who are actively seeking employment.
The cost is only $5 for PRSA-NY members and $25 for all others. It’s a small investment that could yield some of the best future employees of your company.

Spring Break Professional Development Workshops
New York Coalition of 100 Black Women
This from CCNY PRSSA President Natalee Facey who is keeping in touch with colleagues during her semester studying abroad in Paris. She requests that CCNY students take advantage of this exciting opportunity which takes place during Spring Break. Natalee is an alum of this program and encourages other young women to get involved!
The program is put on by a group of professional women in different fields called The New York Coalition of One Hundred Black Women. A group of young ladies from the CUNY colleges (this began with CCNY) are brought together for a series of workshops to prepare them for the competitive business world. The workshops cover:
• Networking
• Saving and investing money
• Resume building, writing cover letters, preparing business cards
• Interviewing tips
• Make-up tips, dressing for success
• Speaking with confidence, even body posture
• Business and dining etiquette
According to Natalee, “The young ladies who are accepted in the program meet with professional women in their field who take them on a shadow day and they are matched with mentors in their field. I am still in contact with my mentor from the PR industry and the ladies from Ogilvy who invited our group to shadow their day, and other young women from the program. The benefits are endless. I think this would be especially useful to MCA students since networking is so important." Natalee recalls students should be juniors, but interested young women should request more information and an application form from:
Professor Conoly Simmons at jcsimmons@ccny.cuny.edu

For all "Arts Officianados", this from MCA’s Prof. Campbell Daglish; please spread the word!
Subject: Quincy Jones Spearheads Secretary of the Arts Petition
Of course we need this! Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, the United States has never created such a position. We in the arts need this and the country needs the arts--now more than ever. Please take a moment to sign this important petition and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.
