Contacting and communicating with the media is an art in itself. Whether or not your item will make the news often depends largely on the initial contact you make. In this article, we will look at the best way of approaching print media, including newspapers and magazines.
The best and most common way of communicating with the media – print, radio and TV – is through preparing and distributing a media release to them. A media release is also known as a press release or a news release.
A media release is a document containing the message you want to tell them. It takes a specific format which is altered only slightly, depending on the author.
Generally, your media release should include:
Generally, the media release should not be more than a page, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to summarise the important and interesting information in the first one or two paragraphs. Why? Because journalists receive literally dozens of media releases a day, and do not have the time to read each and every one from top to bottom to work out whether or not it is of interest. They need to know immediately, and if your media release waffles on and on without getting to the point, I can guarantee that it will end up in the bin.
The language you use needs to be simple and to the point. Do not use technical jargon or unnecessary adjectives. Quotes, from yourself or relevant people in your business, are viewed upon favourably by the journalist. The best way to get an idea about how to write it is to read a newspaper – if you can get it to sound like a news article, that is perfect for the journalist. This means they can use much of the media release for the article as it is, without too many alterations.
The media release needs to answer the following questions where possible, and it's a good idea to always keep the following in mind when writing it:
Now imagine you have identified something newsworthy about your business. You have written your media release following the guidelines above and are now ready to contact the media with it. Where do you begin?
Firstly, you need to identify which media your media release is suited to. If it's only of local magnitude, your local newspaper or community magazine would be the one to target. Alternatively, if it's something quite significant that should get state-wide or even national coverage, your state metropolitan newspaper/s are appropriate. Alternatively, your news story could suit a women's magazine. If it is more of a business to business piece, then aim it at industry publications, which is your direct market, rather than a more general audience.
Once you have identified your media outlet, the next thing to do is find out who you need to send your media release to. On a local newspaper, the Editor is an appropriate contact; alternatively you may already know personally a journalist who works there, and can therefore send it directly to them. If we are talking about a national or metropolitan newspaper, the best idea is to identify the relevant industry journalist/section editor. If your business is in the health industry, you need the Health Reporter. If you run a gym, this may be the Sports Reporter.
There are programs and services, such as Media Monitors' Media Disk and Margaret Gee's Media Guide in Australia with equivalents overseas, you can subscribe to that collect the names and contact details of all the journalists nation-wide. They cover television news and programmes, radio programmes, local, rural, community and metropolitan newspapers, national publications, industry publications and the glossy magazines you find in the newsagency. There is an annual subscription fee to access these services year round.
Alternatively, if you already know what publication you are targeting, you can simply find the phone number online or in the publication itself, phone them and ask for the relevant person to send your media release to. I also always recommend spending some time in the newsagency, looking at all the relevant publications to make sure you are aware of what is available and what sort of content they cover. Paging through them could also give you ideas of future content to offer.
If I know my journalist contacts well, I don't usually bother them with a phone call, as I trust they will either get back to me for more information or just go ahead and use the story if they are interested.
If it's a new contact or an exclusive I am offering, it's sometimes a great idea to phone, introduce yourself and give them a really brief overview of the story. Sometimes journalists get so many emails that they don't physically get a chance to go through them all in time, so they appreciate the heads up. Just whatever you do, don't get in the habit of phoning them to report that you have peeled three potatoes. They will get sick of hearing the sound of your voice if it's always on the other side of the line!
Once you have the contact details of the journalist/s you wish to target, and your media release handy, you are well on your way.
However, how you handle the next part of the process could mean lifelong media coverage or the journalist black-listing you forever.
There are three very important things you need to remember when working with the media.
Here are some more important tips to take into account when working with the media. Some of them are common sense, while others I learned the hard way.
Write in the subject line of your email what the media release is about – Journalists don't have time to play guessing games. If you send them an email that is blank in the subject line (and journalists say that this happens surprisingly often), don't expect them to bother opening it.
Write in the body of your email what the attached media release is about – Summarise your media release clearly and concisely in the body of the email, so the journalist knows immediately if it is worth his/her while opening it.
Don't send large attachments – A journalist will be extremely annoyed if they are waiting anxiously for an email or an image for another story to be emailed to them by deadline, when they are forced to wait an extra half an hour while your massive email with large attachments downloads and then clogs their system.
Never send them an image with the first email and media release – Offer them one in the text of the email and advise them what sort of images you can make available to them. Only send them one if they contact you and specifically request it. When they do contact you, ask them what size they require it to be. Most journalists can generally not receive emails larger than 2MB so be very careful. You don't want to be the one responsible for clogging up their email server. That is not a very nice introduction at all!
Give them your contact details in the email and make sure you are available – Make sure your contact details are clearly visible in your email, and once you have sent it, ensure you are available in case they call. Journalists will usually not call you back if they cannot reach you the first time. If they cannot reach you and you do not return their call in time, they will simply dump your story and go with another one. If they do not reach you the first time, you need to return their call within the same day. This is vitally important.
Give them what they need for their story – If a journalist contacts you, you need to make sure you provide them with the information they require. Be honest, friendly and helpful. Remember, this is for your benefit, so treat them with the utmost respect.
Don't ever, ever mention advertising dollars you may have spent with the publication – You need to understand that the news department and the advertising department of any publication are entirely separate. A media organisation does need advertising dollars in order to make money, but this does not, and should not, ever, affect the news that appears in its pages.
Imagine if it's the time of the federal election, and one major party had more money to spend on advertising than the other. Would you be impressed, as the reader of a newspaper, if the party that did not advertise was totally left out of the news content altogether? That would be an unbalanced view of the news.
Therefore, if you have advertised or do advertise with the publication you have contacted with your media release, do yourself a favour, and never mention that to the journalist. They don't care and are simply sick and tired of hearing about it from everyone else.
Exclusive means exclusive – If you have offered a media release or story to one particular journalist or publication as an exclusive, don't go and send it to other publications. This will just spoil the rapport you are forming.
Don't send them rubbish – Once you have a journalist's email address, don't abuse it. Do not send them jokes, company newsletters, forwarded emails, or anything that is not relevant to them. If you do this, they will scrap you from their list of contacts and will never open an email from you again. Only send them well-written newsworthy media releases and remember – if you have nothing to send them, that's ok, don't send them anything.
I would love for your to share your stories of either writing releases, working with the media and what you learned. Have you formed any great relationships with the media? How did you manage to do that and what has been the result?

I do a lot of online radio here in my city..I come in or call in for an segment and I take question from online business who need advice on marketing online..It a n great way to get yourself out there.
"Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"
This is a very well-written, informative article. As someone who plans on using press releases in the near future to help her business flourish, these guidelines are both very clear and helpful. I plan to reference it in writing my own press releases.
I especially like the part where you pointed out that one should never mention any amount of money spent at that media outlet in advertising dollars to the contact journalist. It was a very valid point to make as many people are used to the old adage that "Money talks," and might think bringing up their sponsorship to be a good idea. In this case, it seems that it would "walk," as goes the latter part of that adage. You might have saved someone who thought they were just being savvy from a hard-learned lesson.
Thanks again for the insightful article.
Great points. It's very hard to get the media to do a story on someone small. There has to be something big in it for them. Can I send them a media release which is 2 months old?
I launched my site (http://Enterthegroup.com) in October.
Hi Sal
Thanks for your comment and great website!
You can send the release thats two months old but it really depends on what the release is about. If it can date, then you are best to update it and send another – for example, the reaction your business has attracted since you launched.
Does that make sense?
The media will do a story on someone small if the story is of interest and if you have approached the right media!
Enjoy your weekend.

HI Jia Jun
Thanks for your comments and I am glad you are writing articles to build profile for your businesss. Keep it up!
Online radio is best for me
Beautiful insight as always.
I agree — the story needs to pop and the headline and first few lines are key. It has to be a story that steals attention.
I've only tried two, but I seriously appreciated the learnings from this second time around. I think the editor made a huge difference and really latched on to certain words and ideas that would create buzz … things that I didn't see. I might have been too close to it, or too much on the "engineering" side 🙂
Here's the headline that popped:
'Getting Results the Agile Way' — A Timeless System for Changing Times — Now Available in Print
That little piece right there … "a timeless system for changing times" was like magic.
Those vital few lines suddenly told a story. They provide hope among a lot of pain.
It's funny how the right few words are everything.
I noticed there is also a cadence to it. So not only is it a sticky cadence, but it's fun to tell other people about … because it's short and memorable … "a timeless system for changing times."
It's also super-relevant for today's ever-changing world, so I think that also helped.
Interestingly, while I don't think I got the reach or awareness I expected from the press release, I ended up with a new, better and simpler way to tell the story of my latest book, so that for me was a beautiful by-product and surprise.
Thanks for sharing your learnings with us J.D, and congratulations on "giving it a go".
Would be keen to hear how you go with additional media releases in the future.
Thank you for sharing a way which will be helpfull to beginners.
One way I've gotten in the print press is by writing for them! Local magazines and papers are always looking for material to publish. I write for a couple local business magazines and it works out well.
Thanks for the tips. Above the line ad usually will get more exposures, but also more budget to spend.
Print media has longer frequencies for people to see and remember.
Great article !
I have read a similar article some where on a journalist blog who said about getting interviewed by the major news sources and yeah they also looks to collect the facts to showoff in the community you are focusing upon.
This is a great series, and I have been sharing it with my sister who owns a brick & mortar business with a lot of community outreach.
Do you recommend waiting for my new site to build traffic before sending a media release, or should I send one while it is growing since it is truly a new concept in the area?
I did write kind of a media release in the past. Several local non-profits helped my Special Needs child and a local reporter asked if I would write out some details to catch her up on the back story. She gave me a very short deadline. I wrote it newspaper style thinking it would be quicker and easier for her to pull quotes. Not knowing that I am a published writer, she used almost 100% of it verbatim as if it were her article! Her name was even printed under the picture I sent her, as if she were the photographer!
I felt I couldn't complain since the non-profits got the public attention they deserved, but I was annoyed. I felt plagiarized and like the byline should have been mine! It was very hard to bite my tongue when the article was praised as being so well written.
I still don't know how I should have handled this. This was not meant to be a media release, but it was treated like one. And even in a media release, I thought that proper credit should be given for photographs.
something that has worked for me in the past is the blitz them when times are slow. media business (depending on channel) can be cyclical. understanding the cycle and approaching them when activity is slow gives you better chances for inclusion. media needs content to keep on going.
many use PRs for back linking purposes, but i agree that if used properly it can be very powerful, particularly for offline media coverage. that said, your industry must be conducive to such strategy. for example, i can't imagine yaro doing a PR for the EJ blog. i mean he can, anyone can do anything, but i highly doubt media will take any interest?
Great information here! Thanks so much. I am just now learning about press release, so this is a great reference for me as I head in this direction.
I always enjoy reading your posts as they are very informative and inspirational.
Have a blessed day,
Very insightful article, Kerry. Lot of valuable tips for anyone wanting to start publicizing a new venture.
From what I've learned its all about forming a relationship with them. And providing something worthwhile to them. Remember they are there to do a job so, if you think from their perspective, things will go alot smoother. Don't assume everything under the sun has the right to make coverage but think about it from a true standpoint of their shoes and the target audience.
Thank you. I always enjoy studying your public-spirited posts as they are very enlightening.
You have shared very nice tips about having communication with the media. You are right that it is very important for you and your business how you communicate with the media and the points you have described are very useful for it.
thanx for the advice. for me this is very important. so thank you.

Microsoft today released patches for 26 recently-discovered security holes affecting users of Windows and Office. It is urging companies, in particular, to prioritize patching certain vulnerabilities that are likely to precipitate active cyberattacks within the next 30 days.
The most worrisome security holes are easy for cybercriminals to exploit. Bad guys routinely reverse engineer Microsoft's patches and quickly create and spread malicious programs designed to seek out and take of control of PCs that aren't current on patching, security experts say.
Microsoft normally issues security updates on the second Tuesday of each month, known as Patch Tuesday. Most home PC users get security updates automatically, via Windows auto update. Home users just need to follow prompts to restart their PCs, once the patches are downloaded to their harddrives.
However, corporations typically take weeks to test security updates and install them company wide. "While everyone has been focused on the volume of updates today, it should be noted that there are 12 vulnerabilities with Microsoft's highest exploitability rating," says Sheldon Malm, senior director of security at vulnerability management firm Rapid 7. "This certainly raises the bar for customers to plan, test, and rollout these updates more quickly than usual."

"For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus," (Romans 22b-24, ESV).
Yesterday I discussed how we missed the mark, the bad news. Today, we have the good news focusing on Romans 3:24, "and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."
This verse introduces us to two great theological words and they are the words "justify" and "redemption."
The word "justify" means to "To declare one not guilty, or to make one as he ought to be." In the biblical sense, it means that God, in His power and in His grace declares us to be righteous and worthy of a relationship with Him.
The word "redemption" means "to set at liberty after the payment of a ransom price."
To put it all together, when we received Jesus as our Savior, God applied the price that Jesus had paid on the cross to our account and declared us righteous. He thereby freed us from the condemnation and the consequences of our sins. He very literally set us free!
In Jesus, I am free from the need to try and please God. He is already pleased with me because of what Jesus did at the cross. I no longer have to try to be good to convince God to let me go to Heaven (which is pointless to begin with). He has already given me His own righteousness and in His eyes this very day, He sees me as perfect, holy. Am I perfect in the day to day? No, my wife and kids will confirm that is not the case, but positionally before God the Father, I am.
Here is the kicker! The Bible says in this verse that all of this happens "by his grace as a gift." This word, grace, literally means "without a cause". Basically, God gave us His righteousness even when we did not deserve to receive it. He gave it to us even though we could never earn it or pay Him back for it. He gave it to us without a single cause, or without any strings attached! There is no explaining why God saved a bunch of sinners who deserve hell other than His unfathomable, inexplicable love that He has for us and His grace.

Goose Gossage compared the Roger Clemens verdict to the O.J. Simpson ruling.
2008 National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Goose Gossage said during an interview onESPN Radio's "The Michael Kay Show" that notorious flamethrower Roger Clemens should not receive a future ticket to Cooperstown, New York.
Clemens, an adulterer who allegedly began banging country music singer Mindy McCreadywhen she was a sickening 15 years of age, last week was wrongly found not guilty on all six counts of lying to Congress in 2008 that he wasn't a juicehead.
"Are we going to reward these guys for cheating? Even though he was found innocent, I think it was because of the bad testimony," said Gossage, 60, a nine-time All-Star selection who compiled 124 wins, 310 saves and 1,502 strikeouts over 22 seasons as a hurler in Major League Baseball (MLB). "These guys lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Roger, I think is in the same boat."
The 1978 American League (AL) Rolaids Relief Man of the Year, who dominated on the mound for nine organizations while sporting his wild facial hair, compared Clemens' verdict to the infamous ruling in "the trial of the century."

Donating to Charity. You can make a difference...
This site makes no money from your donations, the lists provided are for informational purposes only.
Why donate to a charity?
It's matter of philosophy of life. Do you give back because you think life has been good to you? If that describes your philosophy, then read on.
Lots of foundations, churches, and food banks would welcome your contributions, big or small.
Charity is the practice of benevolent giving and caring.
Probably the most important reason to donate to charity is to help the less fortunate. If you have been blessed, making a decision to donate to charity can help you give a little back. Has any organization been a help to you in a time of need? They would be great choices for you to donate to charity. Have you had times in your life when you needed a little help? Now that you are on our feet, why not make these organizations the beneficiaries of your decision to donate to charity? It is never a bad idea to return a good turn and if your decision to donate to charity helps someone who once helped you it just makes it that much more appropriate. You can also donate to charity in the name of a loved one that has passed away. Was there a cause that was close to their heart? If you donate to charity and make it a charity that they cared about you can honor their memory. The organization benefits, and you get to add another excellent aspect to your decision to donate to charity. Finally, determine the cause that means the most to you when making your decision to donate to charity. If you are going to donate to charity it only makes sense to choose one that matters to you..
Charitable Organizations
A charitable organization is a type of non-profit organization (NPO). It differs from other types of NPOs in that it centers on philanthropic goals (e.g. charitable, educational, religious, or other activities serving the public interest or common good).
The legal definition of charitable organization (and of Charity) varies according to the country and in some instances the region of the country in which the charitable organization operates. The regulation, tax treatment, and the way in which charity law affects charitable organizations also varies.
Charitable Organizations in the United States
In the United States, a charitable organization is an organization that is organized and operated for purposes that are beneficial to the public interest, however a distinction is made between types of charitable organizations.
Every U.S. and foreign charity that qualifies as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code is considered a "private foundation" unless it demonstrates to the IRS that it falls into another category. In a general sense, any organization that is not a private foundation (i.e. it qualifies as something else) is usually a public charity as described in Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
In addition, a private foundation usually derives its principal fund from an individual, family, corporation, or some other single source and is more often than not a grant maker and does not solicit funds from the public. In contrast, a foundation or public charity generally receives grants from individuals, government, and private foundations and although some public charities engage in grant making activities, most conduct direct service or other tax-exempt activities.
This leads to another distinction: Foundations that are generally grantmakers (i.e. they use their endowment to make grants to other organizations, which in turn carry out the goals of the foundation indirectly) are usually referred to as "grantmaker" or "non-operating" foundations. These of course tend to be private foundations. Some private foundations however, (and most public charities) use their received funds to directly engage in service activities themselves and achieve their goals "personally," so-to-speak.
Examples of a non-operating private foundation would be the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Examples of operating foundations or public charities include the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, American Cancer Society, Inc., and the World Wildlife Fund.
The requirements and procedures for forming charitable organizations vary from state to state, as do the registration and filing requirements for charitable organizations that conduct charitable activities or solicit charitable contributions. So effectively in practice the detailed definition of charitable organization is determined by the requirements of state law of the state in which the charitable organization operates, and the requirements for federal tax relief set by the IRS.
Thank you for your interest in Donating to Charities

TVB calls for release of report on free-TV licences
Director criticises government for slow work on awarding licence for new channel
Related topics
TVB has called for a government-commissioned consultancy report on the feasibility of granting new free-television licences to be made public.
The station's executive director, Mark Lee Po-on, expressed concern that advertising revenue might not cover production costs if more operators vied for the same market. Lee proposed that instead of launching new stations, TVB could allow for more diverse programming by airing more RTHK shows before the public broadcaster's digital channels were ready.
It is understood that the former Broadcasting Authority recommended to the government last year that it approve all three licence applications, made between 2009 and 2010. A key document backing that recommendation was a consultancy report on the advertising sector and profitability of the television business.
"Those consultants never approached ATV and TVB," Lee said. "There are only two [free-television] stations. How could they [get a full picture of] the industry without asking us?"
The Executive Council is considering the licence applications.
Lee criticised the government for "working behind closed doors" during recent debate on its licensing delay. According to Lee, television advertising revenue is about HK$3 billion a year. TVB spends more than HK$1 billion to produce programmes on its mainstay channel, Jade.
If the city had five stations, advertising revenue would fall short of total production costs and some operators might have to close, he said.
Stations could also fire staff members and produce shows of poorer quality, he warned.
Further, if the government maintained its tight grip on the industry, restricting the advertising airtime and types of ads stations could accept, they would not be able to do everything in their power to survive, he said.
Unless all the restrictions were removed, Lee deemed it unfair to existing players to let newcomers into the market before 2015, when the licences of TVB and ATV would expire.
He said that to allow viewers more choice before 2015, the government could let RTHK run more shows on TVB's J2 channel before its three digital television channels started up.
Meanwhile, Ricky Wong Wai-kay, chairman of licence applicant City Telecom, said he would not back down until he achieved his goal.
His company had expected certain television operators would ask for a judicial review to challenge the issuance of new licences, he said. Wong said he would wait till the end of the year before deciding whether to take further business and legal action.
He said a licence application should normally take only four months to process, according to a government website, but his application was lodged 35 months ago.
Meanwhile, the Communications Authority received five complaints yesterday against ATV programme Blog The World, a week-long series targeting Wong which began on Monday.

I've really enjoyed using a double mei-tei carry. You need two mei-teis (also called ABC's, or Asian Baby Carriers), and you wear one on front and one on back. Put the one on back first (just follow the normal instructions for a mei-tei back carry). Then tie the waistband for the front meitai, pick up the baby and position her, and then comes the tricky part . . . you'll need to thread the straps of the front mei-tei through the straps of the back mei-tei, making sure that the straps are UNDER the baby in back, so that it doesn't catch her arms or legs or anything. The straps should be against your body; that's the important part.
Then bring them around front as usual for a front mei-tei carry and knot it off - et voila! - two babies on one mom!
This carry takes a few times to get comfortable with, I've found, but I can now do it on my own - though I often peek in a car window or something, to make sure everyone looks comfy! The downside is that after about 1/2 hour it gets a bit uncomfy, but you can shift the straps about a bit to get yourself a bit more time out of it.
Good luck!
I'm a total lurker on this MOM board, although I have 6 month old twins. I have been attempting to figure this out, but am curious about why you put the one on the back first. I am sure it's an easy answer I'm overlooking, but why not put the one on the front first, so you don't have to thread the straps under?
Well, you'd have to thread the straps either way, but I do the back first, because it is - for me - trickier to adjust the twin in back, because she's harder to reach. So since a back carry is trickier for me to get right, I do it first, so I can fiddle with it before I've got them both on. Because once they're both on, it's harder to make any adjustment you want to make.
But you don't have to thread the straps either way! If you put the front baby on first, you simply put the straps for the back carry over your shoulders, back down to your waist, and wrap around. Here's what I mean.
But you don't have to thread the straps either way! If you put the front baby on first, you simply put the straps for the back carry over your shoulders, back down to your waist, and wrap around. Here's what I mean.
Oh! you tie it differently than I do. I like them crossed in front for a back carry and in back for a front carry, so I do have to thread them through either way. You way does look nice and easy though! Just not a way that feels secure for me. It looks in the picture like yours have padded straps; do they? That might make the difference . . .

I hope everyone had a great holiday and had the opportunity to spend it with their loved ones. Today I am relaxing, no stores or malls for me!
I had a fantastic Christmas! I was up at 7am opening my gifts like I was a kid, lol. But before I get in to that I also participated in a blogger secret Santa. I was sooooo excited when I saw my gift waiting for me at my door Friday evening. I got even more excited when I realized it was from Kerissa of A Diva Moms Journey! I completely forgot I wanted to wait until Christmas to open my gift and tore right into it, like a kid. For such a little box it had lots of goodies inside!
I love everything and I already used the Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner! Both products have amazing slip, my hair detangled easily afterwards and the smell is amazing. Thank you so much Kerissa 🙂
Check out Kiah's blog From the Rez to the City, along with the post about her gifts I sent her she also posted a excerpt about the real meaning of Christmas.
Santa also bought me a Kindle Fire and a Speedy 35 Damier! I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their long weekend and holidays.

Meeting Jesus face to face - how would we change?
Jesus Face-to-Face (Published by Greg Hadley, Lake Oswego, 207 pages, www.gbhadley.com)
+ view more photos
Toupee Mice (Rafka Press, Phoenix, Ariz., 72 pages)
Ed Langlois
Of the Catholic Sentinel
LAKE OSWEGO — If we could pick one person to meet in the flesh, most of us would probably choose Jesus.
Author Greg Hadley has written about 32 people from the gospels who had fleeting personal encounters with Christ. The work begs the intriguing questions: What would we do, given that chance? How does meeting Jesus change someone?
In Jesus Face-to-Face (Published by Greg Hadley, Lake Oswego, 207 pages, www.gbhadley.com) we meet the rich young man, a Roman tribune, the paralytic lowered through the roof, the money changer in the temple and even the wind steward at Cana, among others. Hadley is faithful to scripture, but lets his imagination proceed to good effect.
"I spent the rest of my life trying to be a true follower of Jesus," says the woman healed of hemorrhages in Mark 5:25-34. "I did not do that because he cured me; I did that because I came to believe he was the Son of God, the Messiah and the Savior of the world. I love him, and I know he loves me, too."
At the end of each vignette, Hadley offers an insightful reflection that makes the encounter salient to modern life.
Hadley, who lives at Mary's Woods retirement community on the campus of the Sisters of the Holy Names, is a former management consultant and college baseball umpire. He and wife Evelyn moved to Oregon in 1990. This is his seventh book.
Not far in the background of his book is the truth that, while we can't meet Jesus face-to-face as those in 1st century Palestine did, we can meet him through the People of God, through scripture, through Eucharist. That, Hadley concludes, should make our lives different.
"It is only when we turn to Jesus, the Light of the World, for his guidance and grace that we can be at peace with our choices," he writes. "Our Lord shines his light for us on the shadowy roads we travel each day."
Here are some other recent books with Oregon Catholic connections:
• Tony Russo, an Italian-born immigrant to Portland, became a top local wrestler and went on to compete for Arizona State University and wrestle as a finalist in the 1964 Olympic trials. A member of the Oregon chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, he became a successful coach in Oregon.
His autobiography, Wrestling with the Devil (Gemelli Press, Seattle, 300 pages) was written with daughter Tonya Russo Hamilton. It's a skillfully-told narrative of moving boldly through a life where you win some and lose some. Russo, sent to America at age 10, decided to excel where he could.
"Although I was proving a complete failure in school academically and behaviorally, I did find one place where I could actually shine, and that was in physical education," he writes, describing life at Portland's Powellhurst Elementary, where his lack of English proved an obstacle. He also got into fisticuffs now and then.
The book is lively and gives detail in just the right measure. Russo's birth, for example, is described as a noisy affair, with celebrating relatives downing thick-crusted bread and red wine. The book gives a look at the life of Catholic Italian immigrants who operated truck farms around Portland, feeding the city, exclaiming often and loving family fiercely.
As a student at David Douglas High in the 1950s, Russo began to hit a wrestling groove. That despite a mother who protested loudly in Italian at the first match she saw that the sport was far too brutal. The tenderly-told story is well illustrated with family photos.
• In Broken Blessings (Spirit Water Publications, Salem, 283 pages), Willamette University music professor Christine Elder offers wisdom gained through unmitigated horror. One dark fall night, Elder found her son hanging lifeless by a rope. Broken Blessings is the story of what, or who, guided the author through the aftermath, which included her son's massive brain injury and his abiding struggle with addiction.
A big part of the story is Jeff Tiner, an Oregon death row inmate who began praying for Elder's son and became what the author calls "a spiritual brother." Tiner, who became Catholic in jail, spends most of his waking hours supported Catholic causes and supporting people in need.
Elder's son, when he learned the inmate was praying for him, wrote a letter of thanks to Tiner.
As she narrates her effort to help her son heal, Elder writes nicely about grace and cites St. Teresa of Avila and other spiritual luminaries.
The story of responding slowly to life's unspeakable tragedies is timely in the wake of the Connecticut school massacre. Elder is convinced that something guides us, and that we are never alone.
• Madelain Westermann, a fourth grade teacher at St. Cecilia School in Beaverton, has just become a published children's author. Her Island of the Invisible Being (Nelson Publishing & Marketing, Northville, Mich., 32 pages) explores what we do when we're filled with fear and despair. Do we shrink and disappear, or do we survive? Westermann's main character, Emon, rises up, but may be getting some help as she tries to survive among people of the Marshall Islands. Illustrator is Erin Johnson.
Westermann, a native Oregonian, attended Madeleine School and St. Mary's Academy. She was even a Rose Festival princess. She fell in love with the island cultures after working in the Marshall Islands as a teacher. The story was inspired by one of her courageous students from the islands.
"Madelain is not only one of the most creative, energetic and passionate teachers with whom I have ever had the pleasure to work, she is also one of the most faith-filled and spiritual," says Sue Harris, St. Cecilia's principal. "She is a model and inspiration for our students, staff and parents."
• Matthew Gonder has just published his true memoir about life in Portland in 1968 when his family attended Blessed Sacrament Parish and its school. "Christmas On The Move Out West" (Matthew Gronder, Paris, 122 pages, www.matthewgonder.com) honors the education he received under the care of Franciscan Sister Mary Raphael Bolduc, who started teaching at Blessed Sacrament in 1942.
It's a wacky memoir with potential to become a baby boomer Christmas classic.
Gonder is an actor, singer, dancer, author, composer, playwright who lives in Paris with wife Pamela.
The coming of age account centers on a widower with five children and his spinster sister who roll with the punches. The unexpected ending actually happened.
• The Salem Catholic writer-illustrator duo Karl Bjorn Erickson and Kimberly Loraine Erickson have a new children's book about a mouse who aspires to sing in the church choir. Toupee Mice (Rafka Press, Phoenix, Ariz., 72 pages) concerns the hopes and antics of Ian, who seeks to break the musical species barrier.
The human choir members are none too happy to hear him — or see him. Ian and Pierre, along with their "big-boned" hamster friend, Fred, disguise themselves to hide from the musically named Ludwig, a house cat afraid of dust bunnies. Along the way, the determined friends learn about St. Cecilia and the importance of singing praise to God.
This is the couple's second book for children. Their first, "Tristan's Travels," received the Catholic Writers' Guild seal of approval and was a runner-up for the Catholic Arts and Letters award.

Go off the record with Republican operatives and the "we're so excited about Paul Ryan" facade, never very convincing to begin with, crumbles quickly. (And it's so much fun to watch!)
Like Democrats working House and Senate campaigns, Republicans involved with those campaigns know that Paul Ryan is an anchor Mitt Romney threw to Republican candidates, and phrasing that knowledge in delightful ways like "This is the day the music died."
Oh, but there's more. What's especially fun about the Ryan choice is that he's a problem for Republicans because he is the embodiment of their policies. You know, the unpopular policies they try to disguise from the majority of voters:
"Whether or not they [the Romney campaign] want to say that they have their own plan on Day One, or whatever they're doing, it doesn't change the reality of them having to own the Ryan plan. How is that in the wheelhouse of creating jobs?" added a GOP consultant.
It's not! Actually, the Ryan plan is in the wheelhouse of destroying jobs as well as slashing services across the population, including to the people who are now jobless because of Ryan. And even if, as Mitt Romney bizarrely tries to run away from the policies of the guy he picked as his running mate only days ago, he reveals that own budget plans differ slightly in the details, the impact on middle- and working-class people would be the same—and explaining how his plan is different from Ryan's should make that clear to anyone paying even a little bit of attention.
Republican operatives freaking out that Paul Ryan pick means talking about Republican policies
