*** From Ken Jensen (kenjen2119@hotmail.com):

Ned,

I need a bit of help from the Nedwork. I've been tasked to help a group of part-time communicators. These are men and women who are professionals in another field but who have been given a temporary assignment in a communications department. They take photographs and write news releases and stories for internal publications. For non-communicators, they do an excellent job. My assignment is to help them do a better job.

Because they are professionals in another field, they are not fully familiar with producing clear, crisp copy, designing the layout of a publication that invites readership, or taking photographs that tell a story.

I would like to show them examples of superior quality employee publications, those that may have won awards for design, writing or photography, or even those that may not be award winners, but which you are proud to share.

I am particularly interested in showing them how you overcame the obligatory grip-and-grin shots that are almost always must-dos in employee pubs.

Please feel free to send examples of your work to:

Ken Jensen

US Border Patrol

Public Affairs Office

4035 South Avenue A

Yuma, AZ 85365

I also would like to know about how-to publications that have been helpful to you.

Thanks.

*** From Denny Moynihan:

Team PA,

In an effort to attract young talent and innovation into our community, we are now advertising two openings at CHINFO under the Navy Career Intern Program. The attached recruitment flyer describes the paid positions and the program. Some commands already have intern programs and have found them to be quite successful.

This program is a two-year paid internship, offering a starting salary roughly equivalent to a GS-7. After successfully completing this two year program, interns are then “in the system” and in a position to successfully compete for public affairs positions within the federal government.

If you know of individuals who will be good additions to our community, please pass the attached recruitment flyer to them and encourage them to apply.

We are also exploring the expansion of this initiative into a community-wide program. If you have any questions or recommendations in either of these areas, please contact Bruce Cole, CHINFO OI-8 at bruce.cole@navy.mil/703-695-0911.

We are looking for a social media guru, ideally someone with PR agency experience, to work with all of their key clients on social media initiatives. Healthcare experience aligned with their client base is highly desired; not looking for pure pharma product promotion experience. Health care policy, regulatory, and legislative issues – as well as health-related social issues – would also be relevant experience.

This is a great opportunity for someone who’s interested in working side-by-side with senior principals of the firm – and senior-level clients on major, national accounts. The firm is in start-up phase, launched by senior executives from the healthcare practice of a top 20 PA/PR firm.

The ideal candidate should have demonstrable experience communicating in well-known social media, social networking and user-generated content outlets, along with niche web communities and blogs. Responsibilities will include developing and executing social media marketing campaigns, including strategy, time line and program management, reporting and analysis of campaign results.

Help me out. If you send a job listing, be sure it has contact information. I would prefer not to have to spend time to research the job to find out how to apply. Or where a job is located. If you are forwarding a job listing, particularly one that has been forwarded a few times, please clean it up so I don't have to delete all those little arrows and carriage returns.

“November's sky is chill and drear,

November's leaf is red and sear.”

– Sir Walter Scott

Eight miles high and when you touch down

You’ll find that it’s stranger than known

Signs in the street that say where you’re going

Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found

Among those afraid of losing their ground

Rain gray town known for it’s sound

In places small faces unbound

*** Good morning communications and public affairs rock stars of Pinal County!

Are you familiar with Ned Lundquist's Job of the Week newsletter? I am proud to call Ned a valuable part of my personal and professional network. We were introduced years ago through another personal friend and DC-area communications guru, Jim Mitchell. At the time, JOTW had a few thousand subscriber contributors (more on that in a sec). Today there are more than 11,000. So what's a subscriber contributor? Job of the Week works as a cooperative network — if you hear of an opening, you send a note to Ned with the details or a link to the ad. Each week, Ned assembles these contributions into the Job of the Week newsletter, along with trivia, the weekly Piracy report, professional chatter and humor. (It's okay to lurk but it's much more fun to be a contributor. I actually reconnected with a long lost friend from my east coast ad agency days…just by contributing to JOTW!)

Every Monday, JOTW is waiting in your mailbox. November is New Member Month. JOTW is 100% FREE. You can see it for yourself by clicking on www.nedsjotw.com. To subscribe, send a blank email to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com to join our network of professional communicators.

*** Forecastle?

Dear Ned,

Longtime reader of JOTW, thanks for the weekly info. I read with interest a recent item in the Weekly Piracy Report that included the following item:

“Robbers boarded an anchored container ship from the forecastle and stole ship’s stores before escaping. Local authorities informed.”

I was fascinated, as I’d never heard of a “forecastle” before. Is that anything like a “fo’c’sle?” Or am I thinking of “popsicle?”

Sincerely,

Mike Sorohan, First Class BSA (ret.)

(Forecastle is pronounced focs'le, just like a boatswain's mate is called a bosun. And somebody who poops with the seat cover down is called an upper decker. )

What do they call an officer who can’t finish his shower in two minutes?

(Wirebrushed? How about late for breakfast?)

Ouch. Wouldn't keel-hauling be more humane?

(Mike, that sounds like hazing. I’m signing you up for sensitivity training.)

If the captain authorizes it, then it's not hazing. To me, hazing would be something far worse than keelhauling. Like being handcuffed to a tailhook cable.

Which actually sounds like fun, in theory, provided there's plenty of lubricant and kneepads. Or is that not realistic?

1.) Communications Specialist, Alion Science and Technology, Pentagon, Washington, DC

Job ID: 11048

Responsibilities

In support of CHINFO, Media Monitoring collect current published and broadcast reports by news media and assemble into a compilation (CHINFO New Clips) every Monday through Friday early morning for organizational awareness of news coverage. The specific tasks will include:

A. Collecting of CHINFO Clips:

News clips are primarily collected using Internet news search and Microsoft Word, however some clips will be passed to the contractor in advance via e-mail. Broadcast clips will be sent from internal sources, and will need to be checked for proper operation and transcription. Currently, a single article takes two (2) minutes to clip after it has been found/received. Broadcast clips take approximately four (4) minutes to properly clip.

B. Publishing

At the end of the workday, combine all clips into a package (CHINFO News Clips). The package will then be e-mailed by 0430 to the OI-3 representative for an initial edit. After feedback from the OI-3 representative, the contractor will have 20 minutes to update the edited package (CHINFO New Clips) and e-mail to the Chief of Information (or an assigned subordinate) for a final edit.

“The sky is streaked with them

burning hole in black space —

like fireworks, someone says

all friendly in the dark chill

of Newcomb Hollow in November,

friends known only by voices.

We lie on the cold sand and it

embraces us, this beach

where locals never go in summer

and boast of their absence. Now

we lie eyes open to the flowers

of white ice that blaze over us

and seem to imprint directly

on our brains. I feel the earth,

rolling beneath as we face out

into the endlessness we usually

ignore. Past the evanescent

meteors, infinity pulls hard.”
