The Feed for Friday, October 3rd

October 3rd, 2008 joel

Editor’s note: Sound off, give a shout out on “Deep Background,” our totally-random open discussion of all things Erie media.

  • New Ad Federation video honors Jack Tirak: Outside Erie shares with us a video created for last week’s Advertising Federation of NWPA’s Creative Sparks Awards ceremony honoring the memory of Jack Tirak. For our new readers, Tirak had a long and exemplary career in Erie advertising and media, and upon his retirement launched his blog Erie Media-Go-Round which was a force for media accountability and community until his untimely death in June 2008. On the video, TV and radio guy Bob Bach, and newspaperman Jack Grazier share personal memories about their (and our) missed friend. (more…)

Poll: Does the city need a Communications Director?

September 15th, 2008 joel

Participants in last week’s poll about the best cable news coverage of the party conventions favored Fox News Channel followed by CNN.

This week’s poll keys off of a discussion that took place a month ago on Peter Panepento’s blog, Outside Erie. In the comments of the post, “Erie’s Flawed Thinking,” George Vietze gives his account of meeting with the City of Erie’s economic development team and learning first hand the accomplishments of various authorities and bureaus at the city that are making progress toward their goals of creating a better community. The discussion led to the opinion that there are many initatives going on at the city level that are never covered by the Erie media, and that someone in the administration skilled in public relations could help the city better get their message out.

Which leads us to this week’s poll. I hope that many reporters on the street are willing to give us their opinions.

Does Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott need a Communications Director?

  • Yes...the city needs to better manage its message. (57%, 13 Votes)
  • No...he gets the word out about city successes just fine. (43%, 10 Votes)

Total Voters: 23
