Jan. 14, 2009 ~ Monthly Luncheon to feature Mitchell Schnurman from the FWST

TOPIC: Gazing into the Crystal Ball: The Outlook for Local Business and Media in 2009

The stock market is down. Unemployment is up. Retailers are slashing prices right and left or, worse yet, closing their doors. It seems as if everyone, from automakers to major cities, is looking to Washington for a bailout.

But what is the economic outlook closer to home? And will the dire predictions for the future of mainstream media come true? More importantly, how will the economic climate in North Texas and changes in the media world affect public relations practitioners? Find out when Mitchell Schnurman, Business columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, looks into his crystal ball and shares his predictions for local business, from both a media and PR viewpoint. Start the New Year off right and join us for a look into the future at the Greater Fort Worth Chapter of PRSA monthly luncheon Wednesday, Jan. 14, at the Petroleum Club.

When: Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM

Where: Petroleum Club | Carter-Burgess Plaza | 777 Main St., 40th floor | Fort Worth, Texas

Times: Registration at 11:30 AM; program begins at noon.

Cost: Members $25.00 | Non Members $30.00 | Students $20.00

Where in the world are Tom and Richie?
