  • 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.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.

    June 28, 2017 The Honorable Kevin Brady The Honorable Richard Neal Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Ways & Means Committee on Ways & Means U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Neal: The undersigned companies and trade associations urgently seek your support in saving a still invaluable national resource: the United States Postal Service. The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office. We urge you to approve or otherwise move this bill forward as swiftly as you can. The Postal Service is the hub of a diverse mailing industry critical to the economy and the growing e- commerce sector so important to our economic recovery. The combined industry and its suppliers in paper, printing and technology, comprising hundreds of large companies and thousands of small businesses, employs 7.5 million Americans and generates $1.4 trillion in sales revenue.1 That is 4.6% of total U.S. output. Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.
