PR Tip From Ryan Nelson

Tip: When you create a media alert, don't write it in all caps - not because it looks like you're yelling and that your event is beyond important - because, if you want news to put the event in the daybook, you need to make it easy so they can copy and paste. They are busy. Make it easier for news outlets.

Happy Juice Express Debuts in South Carolina

Great news! Our new client, Carolina Global Inc.'s new beverage Happy Juice Express is debuting in stores as you read this.

Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I ...
