The Heat is On

The news is out. It gets hot in Kansas in July. The Wichita Eagle ran a story today on different organizations and individuals response to the heatwave. First Church received nice coverage.

We were contacted by the reporter early on Monday morning, and immediately put the reporter in contact with the correct staff person. By early afternoon, the reporter and a photograper were at the church. The result is a very nice piece that reflects well on us a community, taking care of one another.

Free media is the best media.

What do you get from an old (read former) crack reporter with a passion for technology who is CEO of a media monitoring company and the communications and technology director for a big, downtown church? A new beat. Kirk, I don't regularly read a lot of blogs but I will read yours. The writing will be really, really good. You're on point for emerging, national issues affecting ministry and the church, chasing leads across the country with fellow friend and sleuth Ken Holsinger. And, hey, you have your own laboratory with technology as good as it gets. As always, we'll count on you to take the first really big bytes out of the significant stories. Bring on the heat.
