WASHINGTON, DC: The organizers of next year’s Republican National
Convention have returned to the tried-and-true by putting Mike Miller in
charge of media operations.
A former Scripps-Howard reporter and associate of the now-dissolved PR
firm of Wagner & Baroody, Miller has handled media duties for the last
seven conventions. He said, however, that the GOP will place greater
emphasis than in 1996 on meeting the needs of online journalists.
The convention is to be held next July in Philadelphia, a location which
should attract a strong showing from media organizations based in New
York and Washington, DC.
PR has proved a key component of recent political conventions. For
instance, the Democrats wisely featured an appearance by paralyzed actor
Christopher Reeve during their last get-together.
