What a difference a day makes. The Business & Media Institute Web site has
improved far beyond what it was just a little while ago. While it
wasnt exactly over night, it probably seems that way to many
visitors.
Its been almost a year since I took the helm as
director of the Business & Media Institute. Its been a good year for BMI.
Weve had more than 50 broadcast appearances just in 2005,
surpassing our total for all of 2004. The Business & Media Institute has
also written op-eds in newspapers such as the Orange County
Register, New York Post and The Washington Times. Our National
Chairman Herman Cain has been all over the news and even has his own
radio show now.
But this isnt about looking back, its about looking
forward. The re-launched BMI Web site is a key component in helping
defend the culture of free enterprise in this country and just one
of the tools we will use to educate people about the advantages of a
free-market system. The new site offers added information, a new
logo and new features. We also are in the midst of launching a new
weekly e-mail newsletter that will examine how the media cover
business and economic issues, as well as suggest ways to improve
that reporting.
The new site is designed to serve the needs of readers
by providing regular content on media coverage of business and
economics. It includes:
-
Resources:
Businesspeople and journalists will discover a wealth of
information including: a database of experts on a variety of
business topics; fact sheets on major business and economic
issues; daily links to important free market topics; and
regular commentary from top economists.
Ongoing
coverage: The Business & Media Institute will continue to deliver its
reliable assessment of the bad and good reporting of business
issues.
Periodic
Special Reports: These in-depth studies analyze key economic
and business topics in the news. Past reports have focused on
the problems at Fannie Mae, the economic errors in Social
Security reporting and many other newsworthy topics.
SPECIAL BONUS:
Visitors who sign up for the new Business & Media Institute weekly
newsletter will receive exclusive access to a Special Report:
Taking Stock of Media Business Coverage. This report goes
into extensive detail about the flaws in media coverage of
business and economics from Social Security to jobs. It also
includes 10 important recommendations on how the media can
improve coverage.
This is an exciting time to part of the effort to help protect the future of the free enterprise system in our nation. We welcome your comments and criticisms on the new site and anything else we do. Most of all, we appreciate your support so that we can do our part to keep the free market system strong in America.
