Tuesday, before our first Story Conference, a few of us Daily Pennsylvanian editors went down to Penn Police Headquarters for a “Meet and Greet” with some of the communications people for Penn along with head of Penn Police Maureen Rush. Basically, these are the people that we interview and talk to for stories nearly constantly.Besides Rush, Lori Doyle, who you always see quoted as “University spokeswoman Lori Doyle,” was there, and a few more PR people and assistants whose names rarely make it into the paper, but who DP reporters talk to a lot.Also representing the Division of Public Safety were our two main contacts there, Allina Boutilier and Jared Hupp. Phyllis Holtzmann and Jeanne Leong were there too, from University Communications, and Tony Sorrentino, our main contact for stories about retail and real estate.The meeting isn’t really that interesting, it’s more or less just a chance for all of us to see each other face to face, and talk about how to keep lines of communication open throughout the year.
