NSHMBA Hosts Media Training Workshop in P.R.

San Juan, PR, June 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- J.M. De Jesús (of Quadrant Two Public Relations-Q2PR) will lead a workshop on "Successful Media Interview Techniques for professionals" hosted by the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s (NSHMBA) Puerto Rico chapter on Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at the Colegio de Abogados in Miramar, Puerto Rico, from 7 pm to 9 pm.

“It’s important that professionals understand the multifaceted media landscape and varying agenda of news organizations and journalists when presenting their own messages and viewpoints to the public via the use of the media as a vehicle,” said José Manuel De Jesús, President of Q2PR, a nationally recognized Public Relations agency specialized in media training and the US Hispanic and multicultural markets.

“Often times the professional is so excited that they landed the interview that they lose site that although the journalist may be acting friendly, he or she is not their friend, and has a job to do. There is no such thing as an ‘off the record’ remark,” De Jesús added.

“We are very happy to have José Manuel train us on this important topic, especially as the national media in Puerto Rico grows in importance, complexity and numbers,” said Ricardo Torres-Rivera, president of the NSHMBA Puerto Rico chapter.

The Colegio de Abogados de Puerto Rico (Law College) is located at Avenida Ponce de León #808.
A $25 donation is requested from participants and organizers expect the venue to be filled to capacity.
The funds will be donated to the NSHMBA Scholarship.
