Behind the Headlines: The Intersection of Entertainment PR and Journalism

About

Join us on November 9 at 10 AM for a discussion exploring the relationship between entertainment PR and journalism. Featuring a panel of both entertainment publicists & journalists, this seminar will offer an inside look at the roles, responsibilities, and day-to-day experiences of those who are guiding conversations within the entertainment industry.

Panelists include Shannon Leigh Keenan (Triple 7 PR), Jensen Sussman (Sweet Talk PR), LB Cantrell (Music Row Magazine), and Alecia Davis (EXTRA). They will share what a typical day looks like in their respective careers, discuss the key differences between their roles (even within the same field), and explore how these two fields collaborate to shape the stories audiences see.

Whether you are interested in publicity, journalism, or another career in entertainment, this discussion will provide valuable insight into the skills and experiences needed to break into the industry. Come hear first-hand advice from industry professionals, learn how these career paths intersect, and discover how you can begin building your own future in entertainment.
