Newswise Meetings Advance
Newswise recently began a new service, Meetings Advance, to give you advance notice about upcoming meetings and help you quickly search the abstracts to find your presenters. Read below for more details.

About this Report
In this report, we've included information on the Newswise Meetings Advance, feedback from journalists at Psychology Today, KTTV (Fox Los Angeles and many other media outlets, and success stories from participating institutions. We encourage your feedback (see suggestion box). It helps us to evaluate Newswise and make changes to better suit your needs. We look forward to hearing from you.

Newswise Arts Special Wire
Newswise will be distributing an Arts Special Wire on Friday, June 6. The purpose of this wire is to highlight our growing ArtNews section and to direct journalists to your art news.

If you have art related news for this wire, please submit it to the online contribution form by Thursday, June 5th at 5 p.m. ET. Please type "for art special wire" in box # 14 of the contribution form.

We surveyed our journalists to find out what they would like to see on this wire. Their responses ranged from visual art to technology in art and from funding to helath benefits. You may view their responses here.

Newswise Meetings Advance Con't.

As part of this service, Newswise creates and sends a special wire for research news related to the meeting to which any of our participating institutions can submit a release. View a sample of a recent Meetings Advance Special Wire sent to journalists.

We are currently working to expand this service to include more meetings. If you have a national meeting, and would like to work with Newswise Meetings Advance (to let PIOs know about your meeting), please let us know. If you are a university, let us know which meetings you would most like to see Meetings Advance cover.

You may view the first two meetings which were promoted by Meetings Advance at:
