#MediaMonday – Flo Eckstein
Abbie Fink | Dec 10, 2012
Happy Hanukkah! Today’s Media Monday is Flo Eckstein, publisher of the Greater Phoenix Jewish News. Truth be told, I’ve known about the paper for 40 years. The Jewish News is the number-one resource for news about the Jewish community in the Valley. So even before I was a public relations professional, I was pitching stories […]
READ MORE#MediaMonday – That’s what tape delay is for
Abbie Fink | Oct 1, 2012
By now, everyone has probably heard about Friday’s high-speed chase in the Phoenix-area that ended with the suspect taking his own life…live on TV. Yep, that’s right. Fox News was high above the skies of Phoenix, live, during the incident. And although reporter Shepard Smith was calling for the tape delay, the control […]

Abbie Fink | Aug 27, 2012
I say it is about time! I have thought for quite some time that the newspaper industry was way behind the rest of the media business…providing all that content for FREE. What is up with that? Sure, it may have come as a surprise to most people when the Arizona Republic announced it […]

A Tip for Tuesday – Forget about the “tool” and figure out the strategy
Abbie Fink | July 17, 2012
I originally wrote this article for the Phoenix Business Journal, where it appeared on July 6th. Nothing has transformed our ability to communicate our messages like social media.

READ MOREMy “Top 10” Favorite Books
Abbie Fink | July 5, 2012
I’m not sure what the backstory was, but Gini Dietrich wrote a blog post for Margie Clayman on her top 10 favorite books. I commented that it was a great list (in fact, I bought the Asher Lev book as a result) and Gini said I should write my own top 10. Not one to […]
READ MOREBook Review – Marketing in the Round #mitr
Abbie Fink | May 17, 2012
Admittedly I read the book because my pal Gini Dietrich is one of the writers. And to support her and her writing partner Geoff Livingston, I bought the book even though I knew I would be receiving a copy as part of my Counselors Academy registration. I told Gini I would read it before I […]

Each Monday, we are posting a blog to help our readers get to know the media just a little bit better. With a TWIST! No, we aren’t posting story pitch tips or media lists, but instead great stories from the media themselves about their lives, their work and other little known facts! Think of it […]
READ MORE10 Great Careers for Women Who Want a Life
Abbie Fink | Jan 6, 2012
I spent the extra couple days of the New Year’s weekend getting caught up on my magazine reading. Some local stuff (Jewish News of Greater Phoenix) mindless stuff (Entertainment Weekly), some business stuff (Inc., Fast Company) and some stuff in-between (Oprah, More). Flipping through the November issue of More (ok, I know I’m behind) I […]

Abbie Fink | Nov 18, 2011
Most of you know that I had the opportunity to travel to Israel in February 2008 with my lifelong friend Donna. The mission trip was led by Rabbi Yitz Wyne of Young Israel Aish Las Vegas and was attended by Rabbi’s son and five other people. The trip was incredible…so much to do, so much […]
