New Club Podcast Offers Advice for Communicators for Nonprofits

National Press Club members Shannon Fisher and Lisa Matthews discuss communications strategies for nonprofit organizations in the latest episode of Update-1, the Club's podcast. As vice president at Hager Sharp, a public relations firm representing mostly nonprofit clients, Matthews has a unique and well-rounded perspective on the topic. Prior to joining Hager Sharp, she was on the receiving end of nonprofit communications as a planning editor and assignment manager for The Associated Press. The two discuss the manner in which coverage of nonprofit news differs from that of for-profit enterprises and offer some helpful hints for nonprofit organizations seeking to improve their communications strategy.
