BusinessWeek

 Back from 2 months of travel, we have lots to catch up on. In case you missed the live feeds blow is the recap:

PLEASE NOTE SWMS TELECONFERENCE SCHEDULE CHANGE: Mar. 30: Deb Donston and Jason Brooks discuss the new eWeek labs community site. "Social media monitoring tools" now 5/17.

 Surviving and thriving at Bloomberg's BusinessWeek is veteran reporter Peter Burrows.

Join us as Peter discusses the kinds of pieces he's aiming to write in 2010, whether they differ from those he wrote for McGraw-Hill, whether Bloomberg BusinessWeek's print priorities have changed with the addition of Bloomberg's journalists, and how tech PR pros can make Peter's job just a little bit easier.

Shrinking edit staffs have made contributed content more important than ever.

Which outlets publish it? More important, which ones say they do but are becoming overwhelmed with submissions, most of them unacceptable?

Be it a guest blog post or a more formal submission to MSM, there's an emerging art to contributed content. Learn today's tricks and get the visibility your clients expect. 

Layoffs are coming down today at BusinessWeek and some of the names will shock you.

Trade and business media often don't understand their own intentions with their video efforts, making it difficult for PR pros to pitch ideas. Some edit outlets accept B-roll, but what kind and under what circumstances? And what must clients do to succeed in the video era? You'll be surprised at how easy it can be.
