NEW YORK--()--Business Wire’s free award-winning webinar series features two webinars this month that aim to help professional communicators get the most out of their press release efforts — from Twitter tips and new media to advice to a primer on Extensible Business Reporting language, or XBRL for publicly traded companies. All webinars are FREE.
“Our client base runs the gamut from do-it-yourself PR people and agency professionals to compliance and IR folks at huge corporations”
