Anyone who has done PR here in town over the past five years knows Denise Naughton. As the queen of producing for Sonoran Living on ABC15, not a day passes when she isn’t working with at least a dozen communications folks. And now, you can work with her in a totally new way […]

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 […]

Scott Hanson | Aug 15, 2012
Not sure how Thought Revolution: How to Unlock Your Inner Genius by William A. Donius ended up on my desk. But it did – so I read it.
