Congratulations to long-time PRSA member Debbie Fee Newsome, who has been
named director of marketing and public relations for Parkway Cardiology
Associates of Oak Ridge. Debbie most recently was vice president of public
relations and marketing for Medical Marketing Inc. in Oak Ridge and has been
with Boeing in Oak Ridge and Philips Consumer Electronics in Knoxville.
And, on another note, if you missed Patrick Jackson and Harold Burson at PR
Day on Friday, you missed a rare treat. Burson shared the story of his
incredible rise from a one-man PR shop to head the world's largest PR firm
with 130 luncheon attendees, plus about 100 students who came only for his
keynote speech. Jackson was in usual form, shaking up the comfortable PR
status quo and tweaking all of us to think progressively about what it is we
do. Many thanks to the University of Tennessee School of Journalism, and Dr.
Candace White and her PRSSA students, for making this a memorable day for us
all.
