FreeWebPR.com:: Great resource for P.R., writing and general business tips

Last week while I was preparing to write a press release, I somehow came across a terrific website, Free Web P.R., run by fellow IU School of Informatics New Media alum and Hoosier media arts guru Neal Moore. Having grown up in central Indiana, I often saw him on Indianapolis CBS affiliate WISH-TV, my family's go-to station for local news when I was younger. Growing up, I trusted what I saw on the station, and now as a discerning adult, I'm pleased to see that Moore's still a positive influence in Indiana, and I was happy to discover the wealth of business-related resources on Moore's site.

Though my first name's spelled incorrectly (I'm sure John will fix it soon), I got a kick out of listening to the podcast episode. It's quite strange to hear my voice in a context outside of List-en up, but it was exciting to be the interviewee rather than be the interviewer. It was a bit nerve-wracking, as well — can you tell?
