The New Mexico Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America is hosting a “Meet the Press” event to help public relations professionals and businesses strengthen their ties to the media. The July 31, 2025, event aims to deepen understanding of today’s media landscape and build stronger, more effective relationships with journalists and media outlets.
Event organizers say, “Strong media relationships are a cornerstone of any successful communications strategy. Whether you’re pitching a story, managing a crisis, or raising awareness for your brand or organization, access to the right media contacts—and knowing how to work with them—is critical.”
Fashioned as a roundtable-style event, participants will be able to visit multiple tables hosted by local media professionals from The Albuquerque Journal, the Rio Rancho Observer, KUNM, and TV stations KRQE, KOAT, and KOB-TV.
Participants are expected to get actionable tips on how to craft newsworthy press releases and increase the likelihood of their stories being picked up.
The event takes place at UNM’s Jackson Student Center in Albuquerque from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 31, 2025. The non-member fee is $25, and there is a small fee to park at the Yale Center.
