George McQuade / Mayo Communications on DHTV - Part 1 of appears on live TV (09/19/09) to talk about the evolution of media and the state affairs in Public Relations.

Vice President George Mc Quade, MAYO Communications, an award-winning full service entertainment and public relations firm in Los Angeles discusses how everyone from President Obama to PR Pros are impacted by new media, mainstream media and traditional media. He discusses in detail secrets to powerful media relations campaigns with TV host Chris Burnett, CSUDH-TV.

The media is changing faster than the media can even report on it, said Mc Quade, who manages media relations and new business for MAYO Communications. The most important message I drive home to students and budding PR Pros is to acquire as much digital media arts skills as possible from radio, TV to blogging and websites. Even TV stations like KNBC have what they call a content center, which used to be the called the newsroom. Surviving writers, producers and editors are being retrained as multi-media experts writing their stories, but now recording radio and TV interviews, too, for posting Online moments after doing the interview or shooting the photos.

Mc Quade speaks regularly to TV, Radio and print outlets about good, bad and ugly campaigns and at publicity, broadcast news and film classes at USC, UCLA and Loyola Marymount University and Universities in New York. Since 2000, Mc Quade has been the West Coast bureau chief for ODwyer Publications (www.odwyerpr.com), Manhattan, NY, where he writes a monthly column on everything from new media to entertainment publicity and public relations. In this interview he offers valuable resources from ODwyers that can not be found anywhere else Online. He even brought samples he shows live on the set to illustrate his points.

Before MAYO, McQuade was a Los Angeles correspondent for NBC Mutual Radio News, ABC Entertainment News and produced and reported on high profile stories for KNX, KFI during the LA Riots and was most known as the news voice of KGIL Newstalk 1260 AM in the San Fernando Valley.
