PR for People Monthly October 2017 | Page 5

Dear Friends and Colleagues: In the October issue of PR for People® “The Connector” Magazine, we explore less quantifiable forms of energy—the energy it takes to run a business or run your body in a way that produces maximum power. Our contributors have an interesting view of the world, so we have little on energy resources and more about the energy generated by people.

There is another form energy. I’ll refer to it as insane energy. This is when two men have usurped leadership positions, one by inheritance, Kim Jong-un, and the other, Donald Trump, by treachery. In Trump’s case there is every indication that the Russians interference with the 2016 election helped to get him elected. No matter what political persuasion moves you, keep in mind that people, both conservatives and liberals, want an investigation to learn the extent of the Russian interference in our presidential election. Check out the impressive non-partisan board who recently founded the Committee to Investigate Russia.

We believe journalism is a fundamental component of Democracy and without it, we no longer have a true system of checks and balances. As always, it is our mission to feature real news about real people, so this month our cover story is about a great journalist. LA-based arts & culture reporter Jordan Rieke won our Matt Kramer Award for his article Skid Robot: the street artist drawing attention to LA’s homeless residents that first appeared in the The Guardian. His news stories get you to experience the infinite ways arts and culture benefits humanity on a global scale. One of our goals during 2018 is to drive greater awareness for high quality journalists.

Happy October!

–Patricia Vaccarino
