Attention GA Companies... It's TIME To Get Your News To ANN!
The 2008 AOPA
Expo is nearly upon us, and, if history is any indicator, it's
likely those of you in the GA sector may have some
news/announcements to make.
The Aero-News Network, the aviation world's DAILY/REAL-TIME news
and information service, will sport an expert assemblage of ANN's
top journalists. Several staffers, including ANN
Editor-In-Chief Jim Campbell (who is chomping at the bit to get a
look at some of the many rumored new products scheduled to be
unveiled this year), have been assigned to generate hundreds of
stories about the event, and to work on many more for future
distribution to the hundreds of thousands of people (all over the
world) who read, view or listen to ANN every day, as well as the
many International syndication partners we work with.
'Want to make a timely impact?
As usual; ANN's team of expert aero-journalists will be covering
the Convention from top to bottom; and we'd like to let you lead
the news, with your announcements in Aero-News on the day your news
breaks, rather than a day late. We're inviting you to send your
advance news and announcements to us; with the date (and the time
-- Eastern Time -- if critical) you plan to release the
information. Our news publication system can be set to release
stories within a second of a scheduled release time, so we can
honor embargo agreements with uncanny accuracy. This way, we can
help you reach the largest number of potential readers, as fast as
possible.
We would like to invite you to submit your press materials and
news packages to us prior to the Expo in order to allow our team to
do as much advance preparation as possible and to get a feel for
the stories that will be prominent this year. The sooner we get
such data, the more we can do with it, and the more likely it is
that you'll find yourself featured in a future ANN newscast, Audio
Aero-Cast or Aero-TV Webcast. Submissions are strongly encouraged
by E-mail though postal "snail mail" is acceptable so long as it is
received in our office ASAP. No aviation entity currently gets to
as many people, every day, as ANN is doing now, so we encourage you
to get in contact with us if you think you might have a story idea
or a subject worth covering.
If you have any story ideas or suggestions as to how we might
augment our coverage of this event, please be sure to bring it to
our attention ASAP, so that we make the proper assignments for
suitable stories.
ANN's Special Event coverage has been a distinguishing feature
of our organization since DAY ONE. No one does as much with special
coverage of aviation's pivotal events as ANN, and we continue to
set the bar higher each time we tackle an event. It's a tough,
exhausting, brutally intensive process -- and read by hundreds of
thousands of Aero-News readers all over the world.
Of special interest, this year, is the continuation and
upgrading of ANN's tremendously popular Aero-TV programming. As you
may know, ANN introduced the aviation world to Aero-TV at
AirVenture 2007 -- and the business hasn't been quite the same
since. The very conservative 'beta' version of Aero-TV resulted in
the production of over 20 Video Aero-Casts during the week-long
event and the shooting and production of dozens more. Amazingly,
there were several hundred thousand video views in the first 2
weeks of our Beta presentation.
Since then, HUNDREDS of DAILY Aero-TV news and feature programs
have been disseminated to the world through nearly 100 syndication
partners worldwide… resulting in MILLIONS of Video views and
downloads throughout the globe.
If you want concrete proof of the power of Aero-TV Special Event
programming, you have only to look over the work our teams did just
a few days ago at the 2008 NBAA Convention in Orlando, FL. NO OTHER
news organization offered the hundreds of online and syndicated
stories, news-feeds, Aero-Casts (audio) or Aero-TV programming that
ANN produced and NO ONE offered near the quality of product our
teams produced.
Seriously… check out just some of the DAILY NEWS and
FEATURE programs produced over the course of a scant (but intense!)
few days at NBAA 2008!
Look over these programs carefully… they are produced by
journalists with solid reporting credentials, steadfast ethical
standards, extraordinary expertise and completed to the highest
standards seen in the aviation journalism industry…
bar none. These Aero-Video products can be played on your laptop or
PC as well as downloaded to a Video iPod, PDA (or other video
device) for viewing at a later time.
Once again, please remember that ANN's Aero-TV Aero-Casts are
HIGH-QUALITY video products shot in HDV (no kidding, see for
yourself at http://www.aero-tv.net),
and produced by expert aviation and video journalists -- if YOU are
going to be seen, featured or interviewed by anyone in the aviation
world to best effect, make sure that you are dealing with the
Aero-News or Aero-TV!
So… since ANN will be reporting LIVE from AOPA2008,
and if you have news item worthy of a story, or Aero-Cast, we
urge you to get in touch, RIGHT AWAY, with ANN's Jim Campbell, for
possible consideration.
If you need any additional detail, feel free to contact ANN's
Publisher, Jim Campbell, directly at publisher@aero-news.net.
Our main office number is 863-299-8680. Jim's cell number is
863-860-5790, though the toll-free 800-356-7767 number will forward
to him when away from the office.
Here's what we'd like you to help us with:
Please send us (to news@aero-news.net)
-
Your advance
announcement, with as much background as you can provide us.
- In the absence of an advance announcement, a mutually agreeable
appointment or briefing time by which we can work with you, as
early as possible, to get the requisite information on news you
plan to release at AOPA2007.
- Information as to the availability of B-Roll or other video
footage... or your assistance in helping us gather same prior to
the beginning of NBAA2007.
- Important breaking news may allow us to dispatch a mobile news
team to your location to gather advance B-Roll and stock footage in
order to properly prepare for the release of such news.
- A photo, or photos (the more, the better -- .jpg
preferred).
- The requisite quotes from the responsible person in your
organization or the chance to interview them for same.
- The authorized release date (and specific time, in EDT, if time
sensitive) of your submission.
- Booth/display numbers/ID or other location information.
- Name and number(s) of your contact person(s) (and cell number,
if possible).
We'll take it from there!
Thanks -- we'll see you at the show!
