Community Journalism, Community Catalyst
The Central West Coast chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (CWC-FPRA) will present the professional development event “Community Journalism, Community Catalyst: West Coast Woman Celebration” on Wednesday, March 15, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The event – which is open to members and guests – takes place at the Benderson Family Finish Tower on Regatta Island of Nathan Benderson Park (5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota). The program will be both a celebration of and interactive discussion with Louise Bruderle, publisher of West Coast Woman. As newsrooms become smaller and smaller, local news has taken a back seat to national headlines. Not for Bruderle or West Coast Woman, an independent, locally-owned publication that has kept the “community” in “community journalism” over its 35-year run. Bruderle will share her decades of experience keeping a community newspaper thriving in an ever-changing media landscape. Whether a PR pro for a local nonprofit or national corporation, attendees will discover the value in hyper-local storytelling to reach their hometown – and regional – audiences in ways that enrich their lives, their commitment to our community, and their own organization’s role within it. Tickets are $25/members, $30/future members; cost includes lunch. To register, visit cwcfpra.com/events. CWC-FPRA’s annual corporate sponsors are Caldwell Trust Company and Next-Mark, with additional financial support courtesy of Joe Curley, APR, CPRC. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties and Sir Speedy have graciously donated spaces and resources as in-kind sponsors.
