*** A response to Deborah Corey’s question about insurance for independents:

Hi, Ned —

Re Deborah Corey's inquiry on health insurance in the current JOTW, she may

want to check out mediabistro.com and freelancersunion.org, both of which

offer health insurance plans for self-employed communicators. I haven't

used either of these since I'm fortunate to be on my spouse's health plan,

but I have read case studies saying that the plans offered by these groups

are more cost-effective than trying to buy insurance on your own.

Deborah may also want to see if a local chamber of commerce or other

business group offers low-cost insurance to members. Here on Long Island,

for example, the Long Island Association (the largest business group) does

offer such a plan and it's not all that expensive for an independent

communicator to join the group. If I recall, at one point they were offering

access to the plan even without a full LIA membership.

A university alumni association might be another place to check for low-cost

insurance.

As always, I enjoy the newsletter. You provide a great service to

professionals in our field.

Best,

David

*** The PMC Media Resources Library in Addis Ababa:

You may recall that many JOTW Ned-workers sent books and other resource material to the Population Media Center in Vermont to be forwarded to the PMC Media Resource Center in Addis Ababa.

Hi Ned,

Good news. While I was in Ethiopia last month, Negussie and I went to DHL and asked for a donation of shipping. They responded with an offer of 40% off, which we accepted, and all 14 boxes of books were shipped a week later to Ethiopia and are now in our library.

Best wishes,

Bill

*** Piracy figures for 2009 surpass those for previous year

Wednesday, 23 September 2009

The number of piratical incidents reported so far in 2009 has surpassed the total number reported in 2008, according to the ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB). Over half the worldwide attacks are attributed to Somalia pirates according to IMB.

(Ned notes: Today's piracy report posted below also shows a number of incidents in locations other than the Gulf of Aden, such as India, Indonesia and Nigeria.

*** From Deborah Corey:

Hey Edward,

I was wondering if you knew-does the IABC offer association health insurance? I am looking for something to take the place of the COBRA I have been using since the Washington Times laid off my department.

-Deborah

(I believe that IABC offers some insurance options for self-employed communicators. Let me put you in touch with our friends at IABC to see who might be able to answer your question. In the meantime, stay healthy!)

Hi Deborah,

We had an arrangement at one time with an insurance provider that supposedly provided a discount to our members, but it really wasn’t any better than pursuing individual insurance (and the service was bad), so we discontinued the partnership. In particular, you could still be excluded for pre-existing conditions and rates were comparable to those on the open market.

IABC would love to provide an insurance option that is similar to what you get when you work for a company: no exclusions and group rates. Unfortunately those types of products are no longer available to associations. At least, we haven’t been able to uncover one.

I hope that you find something that meets your needs. Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

*** I was going though some old newsletter. Here’s something interesting (to me) from JOTW 34-2002 Add 1:

My family is back from the west coast. I spent three weeks picking up all the Legos from around my desk and putting them in a big bin and putting them over on the toy box. The box is already back next to my desk and partially emptied out. My son also wanted to install a new computer game, but there wasn’t enough memory, so he deleted a bunch of stuff, like everything from “My Documents.” Needless to say, as a writer and a presenter, I have lost a lot of valuable Word documents and PowerPoint presentations and some other stuff, too. I had most of this newsletter put together, so I have to reconstruct it all. If I lost something you sent for inclusion I apologize. You can try sending it again.

This is brilliant. VeryShortList calls Kseniya Simonova “the Susan Boyle of visual art.” You'll quickly see why (and agree).

Her craft is sand animation — drawing images in sand on a light table and projecting them. This video clip is taken from (believe it or not) Ukraine's Got Talent, which she won handily. It shows her telling the story of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. Powerful.

*** Market trend?

Hi Ned,

Since you publish a listing of jobs each week, I wonder if you've noticed

any trends in the market for communications professionals. As a casual

reader, it seems the lists are a little longer then they were six or 12

months ago and that there are few more director or VP-level positions, but

maybe I'm just looking for signs of a thaw that aren't really there.

Thanks,

Greg

(I really do see a trend that I can point my finger at. There are still jobs. Some fields, like defense, are still hiring. Some markets, like D.C., are still pretty good. The length of the newsletter is more a function of how much time I can devote to it than of the universe of available jobs. I have seen fewer headhunter listings. And if you recall those listings that are posted on behalf of a person’s employer for which a suggested optional contribution of a shirt/hat mug would be appropriate, I can tell you those shipments to the JOTW Global Operations Center have virtually dried up. Ned)

In 1967, John van Hengel changed the way the nation approaches hunger relief when he started the world’s first food bank in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1979, he helped establish the organization that would become Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States. Approximately 80 percent of all food banks in the country are part of the Feeding America Network. In 2008, over 2 billion pounds of privately donated food flowed from the food and grocery industry to feed needy people. Feeding America was formerly named America’s Second Harvest.

As the organization expands in size, scope and visibility, there is a need for a strong, committed communications professional who will manage and lead Feeding America’s most significant media relationships. The Director of Media Relations will be a communications, media relations, or public relations professional with direct experience managing high level media relationships on national, regional and local levels. S/he will have ten years or more professional experience in a major human service organization, public relations firm, government agency or major corporation; a demonstrated body of work such as placed stories, op-ed columns, and features; strongly developed news sense, including a strong proficiency using media clipping services, the ability to manage multiple and competing projects and deadlines; demonstrated personal leadership skills coupled with a strong team orientation, exemplary project management skills and a high customer service focus; high technological literacy; effectiveness under sustained urgency and a deep commitment to the mission of Feeding America.
