Meet Joel Andren CEO
When did you join PRSA and what is one of your favorite benefits that the organization provides?
I joined PRSA because it's where PR people learn from each other and help make our profession better. PRSA's emphasis on professional development is an area that I'm very interested in. My company PressFriendly makes software to help us as PR people streamline and track media outreach. I'm very interested in helping PR pros get results and also follow best practices.

Q: What are three takeaways you are hoping attendees to leave with from your PRSA SF Professional Development workshop?
A:
Transparency | Brevity | Top of Mind Presence
Q: How do you reach and engage elusive journalists?
A: Again, do your homework. No one is 100% elusive. Even if you just figure out what they're reading, or figure out their writing style, that's something. It's not hard. But it does take work.

PRSA-SF Google Hangout Event

Engaging with Virtual Communities: Black Twitter & Beyond
Presented by the PRSA-SF Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Thursday, June 2, 2016
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PST
People of color and diverse audiences have long been left out of and misrepresented in mainstream media. Now, social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are enabling groups to start powerful social movements like
#BlackLivesMatter,
#NotAllMuslims,
#SayHerName and
#StopGamerGate that change the media conversation.
JOIN US on June 2nd for a Google Hangout to discuss how Black Twitter and other virtual communities can shift the media landscape in a meaningful way - and how we can help transform biased narratives, speak up against injustices and change the face of media for good.
Ask questions, share ideas and discuss how we can actively and authentically connect and engage with diverse groups on social platforms.
Guest media pros include:
- Jorge Rivas, National Affairs Correspondent, Fusion (@ThisIsJorge)
- Christina Coleman, Managing Editor, News One (@ChrissyCole)
- Jenny Yang, Comedian, Writer, Actor and Producer (@JennyYangTV)
- Daniel Alejandro Leon Davis, Senior Creative Director, SOZE (@LeonXDavis)
- Moderated by Benet Wilson, VP, National Association of Black Journalists
