DC Media Events Can be Nasty Biz
Media event planning can be a dirty business in Washington. In many instances it’s tough to tell who is playing copy cat, but some things are clear: publications are vying to host pointedly similar events and competing for guests and warm bodies to fill their audiences. Getting the events underwritten is no small task. This is also where things can turn sneaky.
We recently reported that Politico ‘s event and a list of participants: “Although the topics are similar, and we’re delighted Amy and Chuck can join us, we really feel our event is different: we have panels covering a wider range of topics with a broader group of people on stage. We have had a great response since our invitations went out at the end of September and believe our half-day event will be the place for kicking-off the countdown to November 2012.”
NJ Publicist Taylor West , counters, saying, “The National Journal events team is one of the most respected and successful in Washington because they invest the time, preparation, and thoughtfulness that it takes to put together premier events. Our 2012 Election Preview event is no exception, with a can’t-miss slate of confirmed participants, in-depth sessions on each of the critical parts of the upcoming election cycle, and more exciting guest announcements to come. For folks looking for substance and strategy – not spin – this event will deliver the goods.”
Despite the clawing and infighting involved in executing these events, insiders insist these events are key to a publication’s success or failure.

The economy will once again be front and center on this week's Sunday public affairs programs. As budget deficit talks continue, the debt ceiling vote looms in the distance, the country's military role overseas is questioned, and with the 2012 Republican candidates ramping up their campaigns, there will be plenty of material for the programs to bring up.
