40 for Forty Poster Show ///////////////

Hey class! This event is going to be great. You should all try to make it out.

Description:

Art Directors Club of Tulsa is one of America’s oldest independent art directors clubs, founded in 1969. During that time, we have had some of the world’s premier artists here to speak. That means we have 40 years of posters from those very same artists.Now you can see a collection of those posters on display at Tulsa’s PAC Gallery in April.

The media and twitter

Social Media Thought Experiment

In lieu of one of those nasty news quizzes be ready to participate in a thought exercise with me Tuesday night.

Be prepared to answer the questions:

1) What is social media? (in relation to journalism, communications, public relations)

2) What does social media mean to you?

3) How do you social media (twitter, facebook, myspace, flickr, youtube)?

4) How can you be innovative with social media? Be ready to share an innovative way a school, company, media org or person is using social media to build their brand or share information.

With your permission I am going to videotape some of your answers.

TMAPC meeting minutes

I'm getting the minutes from a recent Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission meeting in which a zoning ordinance for community gardens was proposed. :)

Open Records

I will be getting the minutes from the Tulsa County Commission. Hopefully the minutes from the meeting concerning the ONEOK Field for the Tulsa Drillers.

Story memo feedback

Gardens

Looks good. I would suggest in addition to using the Kerr Center report interviewing someone for the Kerr Center also add a parent to your list of interview subjects.

The Frisco 4500

I think there are some good possibilities here for video too – do you have access to a camera?

Add in that you will have a side bar giving a brief overview of the history of trains in SW Tulsa and a bit about the rail yard as it is today.

River Spirit

What do you suggest for images to go with the story?

One style point “Over 1,000 new jobs” should be “More than 1,000.” You go over and under things like tables but with numbers it is more or less.

Nix the part of the second story where you look at how it impacts the BOK Center.

I would not make the story about specific age groups too high on your priority list if you find you are bogged down with the others.

Tulsa Hills Apartments

Get me a few more hard facts – like the name of the developer and project details and I will be a happy camper.
