Jana Schilder appears regularly on In Business 

In Business is the only business show in Greater Toronto to concentrate on small and medium businesses. It is produced by Rogers Cable 10 Mississauga, and hosted by David Wojcik. Many First Principles Communication clients have appeared on it.

First Principles Communication was invited to produce a series of two-minute clips to help viewers understand public relations. Broadcasts began in the fall of 2010.

We believe in "taking it out of the room" and this means making sure people who miss the original publication or broadcast have a chance to see it later.

After each of her segments runs, we will add a link here.

WRITING FOR THE TORONTO STAR
Jana Schilder and First Principles Communication have been deeply involved with The Star's special section, Online Trading, since its first issue three and a half years ago.

More recently, we have being writing, and taking pictures, for other Star finance-related special sections, including Wealth Management and Retirement.

In a world where so much writing by PR people is openly ridiculed by real journalists, it is particularly satisfying to see our by-lines on articles in Canada's largest circulation daily newspaper.

Here's an article Ms. Schilder wrote for the Journal of Employee Communications Management.

Defining
Public Relations

Public Relations has four functions:  to establish, promote, protect—and sometimes salvage—the reputation of an organization. The reputation of any organization is its most important asset.  

Public Relations is the art of indirect influence (including non-paid placement in media) by an organization of all of its “publics”:  current employees, potential employees, your peers and your competitors, customers, suppliers, regulators, politicians, and the public-at-large.

A good PR program strives for each or several of these “publics” to take positive action(s) to the benefit of the organization.

Public Relations is a senior management function;  the most senior PR practitioner sits to the right hand of the CEO and advises on all business decisions.

When companies hire Public Relations practitioners, they pay for representation. This is much like hiring a lawyer. Reputable PR people are prevented by a Code of Ethics from being compensated for the actual number of articles (or “media hits”). The only way to guarantee placement of a particular message is to advertise.
