PR Log - Nov 29, 2011 - Worcester, MA — For the first time, representatives of the young IBS Student Radio Network by Backbone (IBS-SRN) will be covering a major, national talk media event.

TALKERS < http://www.talkers.com > publisher Michael Harrison states, “‘It’s Time to Talk Day’ is certainly one of our most important annual events. It raises consciousness about a societal problem that impacts a frighteningly large segment of the population and it cuts across all gender, ethnic and demographic boundaries. There isn’t a spoken-word format that doesn’t find the topic of domestic violence applicable to its audience and extremely compelling. Most importantly, we get feedback each year that this radio row, upon reaching millions of talk radio listeners, really does make a huge difference in the lives of real people. It doesn’t get better than that. We are grateful to Liz Claiborne, Inc. For their public-mindedness in supporting such a valuable project.” Talkers.com will provide full coverage of the event.
Backbone co-founder and CTO George Capalbo adds, “We’re grateful to Liz Claiborne, Inc. and to TALKERS Magazine for allowing our college radio member stations to bring such a meaningful event to their audiences around the world. Participating in an active college radio network affords some rare opportunities, and this particular event will provide excellent training in how to cover a serious topic, where students can learn in the presence of a very distinguished group of talk media professionals.”
