SUMMARY:Fielding Difficult Questions Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fielding Difficult Questions Workshop\n\n Friday\, April 11\, at Noon \nThis Friday\, DCNet will host the second in a series of workshops with the Franklin Forum featuring communications experts John Neffinger and Matt Kohut\, long-time debate prep and media coaches for the DCCC and authors of the new book\, Compelling People: The Hidden Qualities That Make Us Influential.\n\n\nFriday’s workshop on Fielding Difficult Questions tackles the nightmare scenario of the gotcha moment: live before an audience\, faced with a reasonable-sounding question and no good answer. Matt and John will start by explaining how and why to keep things conversational rather than resorting to argument\, then present practical strategies for answering all the trickiest types of questions that come up in media interviews like the yes-or-no\, the have-you-no-decency\, the Gish Gallop\, and nearly a dozen other “gotcha” challenges. (Yes\, including the classic Why? question.) If you’ve ever wondered how to tackle the tough ones and come out looking good\, do not miss this session. \nFuture workshops in the series will focus on other practical skills including prepping the boss and best practices for creating and executing effective messaging. \nWhat: Fielding Difficult Questions Workshop\nWhen: Friday\, April 11\, at Noon\n \n\n\nDCNet Members Survey\nWE WANT TO KNOW! What’s your favorite kind of event? What’s your least favorite event? How can we improve DCNet? Please take a few minutes to answer our survey so we can provide more of the programs you want. \nDCNet New York Trip Report\nWe had a great field trip to New York on March 28! At Bloomberg’s new “Las Vegas-style” headquarters\, we sat down with talent and producers and toured the building (more glass than the Louvre and more Bloomberg terminals than\, well\, most anywhere on earth). We then split up into three groups to visit the New York Times\, AP and Reuters. We met with reporters and bureau chiefs to discuss the best ways to get our bosses covered. After that\, we reconvened at 30 Rock to meet MSNBC talent\, producers and bookers\, including hosts Krystal Ball\, Ari Melber\, Karen Finney and Joy-Ann Reid. We ended the day at UPSTAIRS\, the rooftop bar at the Kimberly Hotel in Midtown\, for a hacks and flacks happy hour with New York reporters. Between the trip up\, cabbing around town and finishing the night on the rooftop\, we got to know each other (very) well and\, more importantly\, learned some tips and tricks for getting these outlets to cover our bosses. All in all\, it was a successful outing! –Alex Barriger

SUMMARY:Field Trip to NYC!
DESCRIPTION:Our trip to NYC will take place on March 28th\, Friday. It will kick-off at noon at Bloomberg HQ in the heart of NYC at 731 Lexington Avenue. While you can meet us there\, many of us will leave together in the morning around 7:30/8:00am. Best method of transportation (chartered bus\, Megabus\, etc) will depend on the number of participants. We will try to minimize costs as much as possible. Participants will arrange their own transportation back. \nBloomberg is planning an awesome visit for us\, including speed-dating w/ their producers and reporters and tour of their “Las Vegas-like” (in their words) facility. While we finalize the full itinerary that will most likely include visit to NYT as well as 30 Rock\, we need you to confirm your participation by  filling out this form.
