*** Special offer for JOTW subscribers:

I have a special offer for JOTW subscribers. I teach a “Break Into TV” performance workshop in Los Angeles where people learn skills for hosting, news reporting and weather. I've been a host, reporter and weatherman in major markets across the U.S. for 10 years. No one in L.A. holds an across-the-board class like this. The next BITV Weekend Intensive is Saturday and Sunday, August 20th and 21st, 10am-5pm. I hold one every month. I train students for two days, and then they get to record demo reels. It's usually $350, but for anyone who mentions 'JOTW' the price is only $200.

Thanks for your time and your amazing newsletter!

Best,

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Hi Ned!

I have a special offer for JOTW subscribers. I teach a “Break Into TV” performance workshop in Los Angeles where people learn skills for hosting, news reporting and weather. I've been a host, reporter and weatherman in major markets across the U.S. for 10 years. No one in L.A. holds an across-the-board class like this. The next BITV Weekend Intensive is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday July 16th and 17th, 10am-5pm. I hold one every month. I train students for two days, and then they get to record demo reels. It's usually $350, but for anyone who mentions 'JOTW' the price is only $200.

Thanks for your time and your amazing newsletter!

Best,

Jonathan Novack

Driving down onto Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu Beach and the Santa Monica Pier, as the morning fog is lifting, heading south to San Diego, my entire family lustily singing along to the song on the radio: I wanna be sedated, by the Ramones. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

*** From Connie Eckard, ABC, IABC Fellow:

Bless you — wherever you are. As for me, I'm in Bloomington, Indiana, home of the University of Basketball. It is freshman orientation week at the University of Indiana, and even FEMA deployees have difficulty finding hotel rooms where they may rest after doing daily battle with the results of earlier storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding. It is in the high 90s here with matching humidity, so don't be in a rush to get back to North America. Just know that we are here and thinking of you — between cold drinks of water.

Thanks for your support. –Connie

*** Breathe:

Ned,

You go off to Turkey and Italy and enjoy some strong coffee and a

biscotti for all of us. Take a break. Breathe. Have fun. Don't worry.

The Nedworkers can be patient! Thank you so very much for all you do

and how well you do it. Your dedication is amazing. I honor you as a

veteran, mentor and colleague!!

Safe travels and cheers to you!

(This is a typical response to my hard drive crash notice.)

*** From Kris Gallagher, ABC:

Ned –

Condolences on the computer issue. Remember this:

This life is a test.

It is only a test.

If this had been a real life, you would have been given further

instructions on where to go and what to do.

(Seems like you're making a good start with Italy…)

Kris Gallagher, ABC

*** From Pat Valdata:

Ned, you're entitled to a holiday. Enjoy Turkey and Italy and don't worry

about JOTW.

I'm envious: two years ago in July I went to Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, and

France with brief stops in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Monaco.

Although being able to cross those borders with ease was certainly an

advantage, I sure wish my passport had stamps from all those countries

instead of just my two entry/exit points: Munich and Dusseldorf.

This year I am stuck at home.

Pat

(If you did something to piss off the customs guys at every boarder you would get some stamps for sure.)

*** Ned, in light of your message about technical problems, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the JOTW bulletin. It’s been a terrific, consistent service to so many communications professionals. We all appreciate it. Have a good trip!

Carol McConaughy

*** From Josh Rosenblum:

Hi Ned,

When I saw you had technical difficulties this week as many of us have had at inopportune times, I wanted to share my first thanks to you for years of timely JOTW's. You've brought me and others I've helped with job searching so many fantastic jobs that I hadn't seen elsewhere. From your fun postings in far off lands, to weekly piracy reports to your enjoyable anecdotes, and of course to the wonderful jobs, you've brought an enjoyable Monday morning to me since I first found out about JOTW through a friend years ago. You had no need to apologize to your loyal readers who no doubt appreciate all of your fantastic help, advice, and positive encouragement. So thanks for so many enjoyable JOTW's and thanks for the many on time JOTW's. If you happen to ever send a late one again, it will no doubt be as enjoyable or more enjoyable than your many, many on-time JOTW's!

Thanks so much for your JOTW's. They really do make my Monday mornings! Good luck with your Dell!

Best,

Josh Rosenblum
