Last Tuesday, October 7, communications professionals gathered at ThriveOn King for the PRSA Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter, Athena Communications, and NABJ-Milwaukee’s “Meet the Media” Event, an evening dedicated to connection, insight, and storytelling.
The event brought together an incredible lineup of media leaders who shared their perspectives on today’s evolving media landscape and how communicators can build stronger, more authentic relationships with journalists.
The engaging panel discussion featured:

Attendees then participated in dynamic roundtable conversations with local journalists, including Graham Kilmer (Urban Milwaukee), Thomas Mitchell (Milwaukee Community Journal), Element Everest-Blanks (HYFIN), Michelle Bryant (WNOV 860), Corri Hess (Wisconsin Public Radio), Earl Arms (Milwaukee PBS), Frankie Jupiter (CBS 58), and Andrew Weiland (BizTimes Milwaukee).
