'The Pick' of the bunch

Greetings again all!

I hope you are all enjoying your holidays, while I am at work :). Being only a day since my last post this is quite unexpected that I find myself here once more. Today was a long day of researching media outlets that raise the concerns of the current Australian spying scandal, as well as media coverage that concerns oil and gas in general in East Timor. East Timor being a nation with a high level of illiteracy, the task of finding a broad source of media outlets proved to be a challenge. Credible, high quality content is a vital part of gathering information, especially within a narrow spectrum. However, I was luckily able to find some good sources that highlight issue-specific information we needed for the database/excel spread sheet.

The surprise news of the day for me however, was finding out that I had been recognised in PPR's magazine 'the Pick,' an investor focused magazine. I had done some editing, writing and research on two topics, and tried my hand at being an editorial writer. I am not the best of writers, but this sure makes me want to lift my skills! The feeling of seeing your name published in the byline section is something quite special to me. The Pick is a well edited and laid out magazine, with a high level of clarity that provides easy reading. Writing for investors means sometimes writing in a conversational style, all the while ensuring a newsworthy stance, keeping topics both very relevant and interesting. It's PR with investors in mind- and as such, it's PR with the objective of communicating to a different target audience. Providing stories that they need, useful, quality stories. This has been my understanding.

Well folks, that's all for now. I hope this is helpful :)

Until next time! Take care.

Yours sincerely
