Dan Rather, one of the best-known journalists in the world and author of the new book, RATHER OUTSPOKEN: My Life in the News, published by Grand Central Publishing, will serve as the keynote speaker at the 25^th Annual Big Apple Awards.  Rather served as anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News from 1981 to 2005, the longest such tenure in broadcast journalism history.  He has covered virtually every major event in the world in the past sixty years.  Rather will speak about his trademark doggedness for uncovering the truth, reveal what led him into investigative journalism, what really happened behind the scenes at CBS and his new work at HDNet's Dan Rather Reports.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear one of the most talked about journalists of our time speak about his career and views on the role of independent media today and how the media has become intertwined with politics and corporate interests.  RATHER OUTSPOKEN: My Life in the News will be on sale during the reception and Dan will be on-hand to sign copies.

Big Apple Winning Campaigns - Tuesday June 5, 2012:

A rare chance to learn campaign strategies and winning tactics from the people that developed and ran 2012’s most successful PR campaigns!

Want to learn the difference between an average PR campaign and one that sets the bar to the max for effective strategy, measurement, tactics and results? Then you won’t want to miss our first ever evening with several of 2012’s Big Apple award winners. We’re asking corporations, non-profits, agencies and all others involved with this year’s top award winners to discuss their campaigns and winning entries.

We can’t tell who they are yet… because it’s a secret! It’s your chance to listen to the winners – first hand – and ask questions to help you hone your in-house and client campaigns. Perhaps next year, you can become one of our “faculty” and discuss your winning campaign. Wine, cheese, crackers and fruit will be served!
