Every once in a while things click. Last week I was in New York for the New York Press Association Spring Meeting. One of the other speakers there was Val Hoeppner a media strategist from Nashville who has assisted many newspapers in re-thinking how they connect with consumers. But, beyond newspapers Val says there are significant ways in which any business can do the same and you've really got to know WHO your trying to reach. Here we talk about apps, blogs, podcasting, social media and more. Bam! Good stuff inside.

Something new this week! We've decided to also podcast our Sunday afternoon program, Insight on Business the News Hour - Week in Review that airs at 2pm Central. That way, if you weren't able to be with us then...you can be with us on your time. Nifty huh? Inside some of the biggest national business news stories of the past week. Go ahead, start you new week by keeping on track of what happened.
Also this week I did something I've never done. I just "riffed" on a piece I did for the New York Press Association called "Five in 24 - Five things any business can do to rebrand themselves and sell more stuff." Why not right. Then, at the tail end of this you'll get a very quick review on what happened on Wall Street last week. To hear that part, just CLICK HERE!
Finally our interview this week was with Paul Allen a co-founder of Ancestry.com. Since leaving that company Paul has started something called SOAR.com that he uses to bring the message of "strengths" to the business world. Inside you'll hear about Ancestry.com and how it grew and then sank and now is growing again (something you didn't get on the radio broadcast on Sunday) you'll also learn about the 34 strengths people have and how knowing yours and your employees and your team's strengths can make all the difference in the world. Paul Allen, the extended interview not heard on KXEL. Listen to that piece right here!
Thanks for coming by and we'll catch you next week on News/Talk 1540 KXEL!

We're coming to you from the New York Press Association Annual Conference and glad you clicked through. Here is what's inside:
The jobs report and Wall Street;
They are behind on their car payments...who and why;
Behind the job numbers lurks something not so shinny;
Where do you go to get paid the most?
Who trusts social media and who doesn't;
Gen Z is welcomed into the economy - What do they want?
What happened on Wall Street and why.
Those stories plus the role of print media in local communication. While many are saying print media is dead it's not...that is if you have the secret sauce. We talk with Walter Sanchez a board member for the New York Press Association and owner of BQE Media about that secret sauce, being hyper-local, advertisers, social media, community involvement and more about why Amazon left NYC. Listen to that conversation here.
Thanks for coming by.

We hear it nearly every day, "Print media is dead or dying" but is that really the case or are we focused on only one area of print? We're in Albany, NY for the New York Press Association and I sit down with Walter Sanchez who owns BQE Media in New York City. We talk about the success he is having with his hyper-local newspapers, what his focus is, how it connects with consumers and we'll spend some time talking about Amazon leaving NYC. He knows...as he was there and reporting on it...in a hyper-local way.
