SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Jason Vines, former Vice
President of Communications for Chrysler LLC, joins AutoBeat Daily this
week as a special columnist on assignment at the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit.
Vines will provide daily insider comments in AutoBeat Daily beginning
Friday, January 11- just ahead of media preview days at the North American
International Auto Show. He also will blog about the automotive industry
and the auto show online at http://www.autobeatdaily.com.
In addition, Vines will appear on-air with his commentary on WWJ
Newsradio 950. He also can be heard on WWJ's Auto Show Streaming Channel,
presented by Onstar, which debuted Monday on http://www.wwj.com.
"I'm delighted to bring Jason's unique insight to our readers," said
AutoBeat Daily Publisher Bill Hampton. "His direct, to-the-point style fits
perfectly with our editorial mission."

listeners with an unparalleled behind-the-scenes view of the Auto Show,"

"This is one of the most important auto shows in the history for
Detroit's automakers," said Vines. I'm thrilled to help cover it for WWJ
and AutoBeat Daily."
