Roger Smith
Immediate Past Chair of ICOM MPR

My name is Tchira Seligman and I am the Public Relations Associate at The
Jewish Museum San Francisco, where I've been doing the PR thing for about 2½
years.  I'm looking to expand my press lists and contacts, and network with
other PR folk.

I feel that I already have a good press list and press contacts (my media
list is currently over 60 pages), but I want to expand -- and confirm -- what
I already have in the following areas:

1. San Francisco Bay Area neighborhood and alternative publications and web
sites
2. Jewish publications (regional, state, national, international), TV/radio
stations and
    web sites
3. A comprehensive list of the top art critics in the U.S.

I am currently doing PR for two photography exhibitions, Russia in Black and
White:  The Photojournalism of Yevgeny Khaldei and A Family Album:
 Photographs from the Russian Jewish Emigre Community.  I have a list of
about 15 photography publications (national and international), but I would
like to know of any web sites devoted to photography, as well.  I'm also
looking for publications and web sites devoted to world history and Soviet
history -- especially those focusing on WWII and Russia in the 20th century
-- and immigration.

I know this is quite a large request, but any assistance in any of these
areas would be greatly appreciated.  I am more than willing to offer any
assistance that I can, as well! If anyone is ever in S.F., please drop by --
admission is always free for fellow museum/arts organization employees.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you all out there soon. :)
