Annual Meeting Seeks Journalists for Panel

The Midwest Sociological Society is seeking television and radio journalists to participate in a panel Saturday at its annual meeting in Omaha.

The title of the forum is "Talking in Sound Bites: How to Talk to the Media." It runs from 1:30 to 3:15 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel. Attendees will learn how sociologists can translate their knowledge and expertise into ways that are valuable to reporters and the media.

Journalists interested in particpating in Saturday's panel should contact Envoy Public Relations Director Sean Weide at 558-0637 or sweide@envoyinc.com.

The Midwest Sociological Society is a professional organization of academic and applied sociologists as well as students of the discipline. Nearly 1,200 scholars, students and practicing sociologists in universities, government and business belong to the organization. The MSS encompasses 9 states: Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, South Dakota and North Dakota. However, nearly one-third of the members are from other parts of the nation and the world.
