This is a great time to be a great news source, PR strategist Richard Laermer explains on this week's edition of Newsroom Confidential, the weekly radio broadcast that provides listeners an insider's guide to journalism and public relations.

Laermer, author of Full Frontal PR and CEO of RLM Public Relations, observes that journalists now more than ever need quality news sources who will help the journalists cope with the increasing demands being placed on them.

"Nobody [in news] has any time or patience and everyone is overwhelmed," Laermer says. That kind of newsroom stress is actually good for news sources who do their homework, correctly identify ways to assist the media, and then contact the correct reporter or producer with useful and newsworthy story tips and ideas.

The full interview with Laermer, who himself is a former magazine and newspaper journalist, can be heard on Newsroom Confidential's digital rebroadcast, available now at http://www.newsroomconfidential.com/.

Also on this week's edition of Newsroom Confidential, host and executive producer Dean Rotbart interviews Gay Bryant, editor-in-chief of the new Success magazine, now on newsstands.

Bryant tells Rotbart that Success aims to help those individuals who've already achieved business success but need help outside the work world. "Their #1 issue is how to have a life as well as how to have a business," Brant explains. Topics in the magazine include building good relationships with family, community and religion.

Bryant, herself, is an example of the happy blend between career and family, Rotbart notes. "Gay came to this country with absolutely nothing and has become a magazine industry success as well as a great mother and wife," Rotbart says. "She should feature herself in her publication."

Newsroom Confidential airs live each Sunday night on NewsTalk 870 KRLA in Los Angeles and is simulcast around the world on the Internet. The program can also be heard throughout the week at the Newsroom Confidential web site.

Rotbart, host of the program, is a Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist and founding editor of NewsBios.com, which provides in-depth dossiers on more than 6,000 influential journalists.

Newsroom Confidential is made possible through the support of well-respected sponsors, including PR Newswire, the global leader in news and information distribution services for professional communicators.
