March 7 Pressing Issues a Success

Posted on by

The Press Club of Toledo was proud to host its Pressing Issues forum on the challenges of communicating in the era of social media outrage.  It was an excellent discussion…from a great case study from Police Chief George Kral to two veteran television reporters giving a different perspective on a real-time broadcasting decision.

It’s a great example of the professional development offered to Press Club members—and a reason why you should be a Press Club member.

Thanks to Communica for being our host!  Planning for our next event is already underway!
