Because our editors and publishers are at the top of their fields, they are often called upon by the business and consumer press to comment on their industries. Here are highlights from some recent press coverage quoting Bobit magazines or editors.
Drummey Talks B2B at CSULB Journalism Day
October 22, 2009
Vice president/group publisher Cyndy Drummey, who handles editorial training for BBM, participated in a panel discussion about media careers at California State University Long Beach’s Journalism Day in October 21, 2009. Among the other panelists were Beverly White, television reporter for Channel 4 news, Chris Erskine, a columnist with the LA Times, and Dennis Foley of the Orange County Register. Most of the students attending were journalism or communications majors and hoped to pursue a media career, and the session was broadcast on the university’s radio station.
The students’ questions to the panel ranged from how to develop their e-media skills, ethics in journalism, and how to prepare a proper resume. To one student who asked why the LATimes didn’t cover more extreme sports, the Times editor said it was a matter of space available, but Drummey piped in that magazines offer the kind of topical range that newspapers can’t. “Business publications offer a career that combines both your loves – journalism and the topic you cover.”
