Friday’s attendance alone topped 500 with over 150 students and professors, 200 broadcasters in the sales sessions, an estimated 50 in the engineering conference, general registrants, exhibits, and 140 at the Hall of Fame dinner. Saturday’s sessions were well attended but did not reach those numbers with 125 at the Congressional luncheon and 240 attending the Saturday night awards dinner. The Tulsa Renaissance Hotel proved to be an ideal setting for the event and large attendance. The Friday morning session kicked off to a packed room as Merritt Mattson provided a wealth of infor- mation and insight on “The Other Side of the Yellow Page Story.” Former Governor Frank Keating entertained the crowd at the Student Appreciation luncheon with his great sense of humor and provided an inspirational message to the students. The 170+ attending the afternoon session on “Cable Advertising” gave Katz TV’s Rob Russo high marks June 9 Foundation Golf for his lively presentation.

Media Guide for Federal Leaders in Oklahoma
Media Guide for Federal Agencies Discussing the traditional forms of Media Interaction AND addressing the topic of Social Media! Oklahoma Federal Executive Board 215 Dean A. McGee, Suite 320 Oklahoma City, OK 73102 (405) 231-4167 www.oklahoma.feb.gov Distributed July 2011 INTRODUCTION Federal agencies have a responsibility to provide accurate and timely information to the general public and the media. In many cases, however, agencies do not have a person designated and trained as a Public Affairs Officer (PAO). In such instances, the CEO or a front-line employee must act as the agency's representative to the public. Many times, the intended message may be lost during the interview; often lack of planning or an inability to relay the message in succinct, easy to understand terms is the cause. Dealing with the media can be a daunting, nerve-wracking experience, whether it is in a face-to-face interview, phone interview or on camera. It is important to be at your best when communicating your message. This guide has been developed to assist those individuals called upon to speak on behalf of their agency to the press, both managerial and non-managerial employees. Whether you are responding to inquiries, arranging or participating in an interview, or simply providing information for print or broadcast, it is hoped that this media guide will provide you with useful information and some important tips to assist you. The purpose of this Media Guide is informational in nature for public employees. As in the past, the guidance is based on the principle that the business of Government is vital to serving the public everywhere.

GENERAL MANAGER KGOU-FM The University of Oklahoma seeks a General Manager for its successful public radio service. This document describes the opportunity, requirements and desired skills and attributes sought in our next General Manager as well as how to submit an application for the position. KGOU Radio serves the extended Oklahoma City metropolitan area and the northwest quadrant of Oklahoma, covering more than one million Oklahomans – about one-third of the Oklahoma population – with four transmitters and four translators. KGOU Radio has a strong tradition of local, state and regional coverage that focuses on news and public affairs programming, and is the lead station of a consortium of public radio stations for the joint project, StateImpact Oklahoma. Last year, KGOU and StateImpact Oklahoma received over 50 awards for locally produced content. KGOU also has a robust digital presence at kgou.org, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. KGOU has 12 full time staff members, and is home to the two StateImpact Oklahoma reporters. KGOU also hires several part time OU student staff each semester and offers practicum and a radio news course through the OU College of Journalism. KGOU is located in Norman, part of the Oklahoma City metro area that was ranked #9 by Forbes as one of America’s most affordable cities, and #10 for where working-age Americans are moving. The metro is served by several universities, is a hub for professional and collegiate sports, including and NBA team, has a thriving arts community, and has leading research facilities in health, biosciences, and weather. Several staff members make the short commute against the rush hour flow of traffic to Norman from Oklahoma City.
