Greater Fort Worth PRSA Offers The Write Stuff: Writing Well to Get Reporters' Attention ... and Respect

    FORT WORTH, Texas, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Local journalism celebrities
Paul Harral and J.R. Labbe jump the fence for one day to share journalism's
best writing secrets with PR professionals during PRSA's Professional
Development Seminar, "The Write Stuff," Wednesday, April 12 at the Petroleum
Club.
    This half-day seminar will offer some much-needed advice and humorous
accounts of seriously bad stuff reaching the editor's desk from PR
professionals.  Expect some kudos, too, as these wise teachers promise to
offer high hopes and helpful hints.
    As members of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's esteemed editorial board,
Harral and Labbe have been kind and gentle partners of the PR profession for
many years as we all serve the best interest of their readers and our
community.  And while they say this paragraph would most likely be edited out
if it were going from a press release to newsprint, they admit it doesn't hurt
to throw a bit of sweet "fluff" their way now and again!
    Come ready to learn and have fun!
