While other retail stores are closing down, Nordstrom decides to open a mens store in NY! They are including some interesting way to shop with technology. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors Nordstrom Opening a New York Store as Other Retailers Close Theirs https://t.co/cgtnCadNKq

Love reading how retail is changing, with so much rapid technological advances, businesses have to do a lot of research on how to reach their consumers. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors Opinion: Retail is changing... and you’re in control https://t.co/0JaEn3OPzr via @bikebizonline

finishing up the crisis plan was actually fun. I'm a natural over analyzer and coming up with possible crisis scenarios was a breeze. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

seeing a pattern in what all our guest speakers have been saying and telling a story is KEY. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

Crisp & Green is honestly one of my favorite places in the cities and I’m so stoked for them. @MetroPRMajors #Comm385 https://t.co/hjybTtSOjz

“Off the record” seems as if a organization is trying to hide something. It’s important to always agree or have standards on usage!! #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

Went to Lola Red yesterday! Excited for everyone to meet Keegan tomorrow! 😄 #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

Ted Haller was a really good speaker! Love how he said it’s all about story telling. No matter what we do! #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

creating a personal pitch is important if you want to pitch something to a media outlet. Don't send out the same thing to everyone! #comm385 @MetroPRMajors https://t.co/h71R2wNEBO

Just finished writing my gatekeeper paper! I loved talking to a very small, local magazine, showing how important it is to connect with the community. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

“Stage setting, conflict, resolution and conflict are what make a great story” love how Tracy made that connection with media relations. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

Getting local even in international PR is so important! You need to relate to the people in any area you are trying to connect with. That and getting educated on a culture are two key things I got from chapter nine. #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

Todd also made it very clear to have a contact person or make it easy for a reporter to have the basic information of your company! #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

Todd Nelson gave great advice. It’s important to not sound like a press release when talking with a reporter. I think this is important especially with having a spokesperson #comm385 @MetroPRMajors

[Ricky @_ricksbee]

Amazing to see companies change policies after what happened at the Parkland shooting. People have the power to definitely make a change. #comm386 @MetroPRMajors Dick’s Sporting Goods, Major Gun Retailer, Stops Selling Assault-Style Weapons https://t.co/35uR3zGYaF

Interesting article from Todd Nelson. I did not know drones where such a big deal! #comm385 @MetroPRMajors More drones roam Minnesota sky, raising questions about their use. Here are some answers. https://t.co/EFmXD5rDZT
