PRL 604 Writing Samples
As part of PRL 604, we were tasked with selecting a corporation of our choice and writing our news release, email pitch, CEO messaging and fact sheet from its point of view, researching the background of Madison Square Garden Networks, its tone of voice, and previous press releases to gauge the accuracy of the initiative taking place and its newsworthiness.
All writing samples for MSG Networks centered on a potential documentary series following one of their featured teams, the New York Knicks, during the 2026-2027 season. This fictional event is timely and capitalizes on the rise in popularity of sports documentary series. To recognize MSG Networks' close relationship with the Garden of Dreams Foundation, the story also includes information on an exclusive premiere of the series special for New York youth.

Media Briefing Talking Points
In class, we were assigned a fictional crisis scenario and tasked with creating talking points from the perspective of the person we represented in a mock media brief, a large role for a public relations coordinator to facilitate. For this assignment, I served as the senior director of sustainability strategy at Ulta Beauty, which sold essie nail polishes that were found to be contaminated with bacteria.
