Be A Part of ANN's Annual Effort To 'OSHCast' The World!
Way, Way, WAY back in the dark ages of the Internet (like in the
1990s, man...), the folks who created the Aero-News Network were
the first aviation news organization to post news and updates,
every day, live from the grounds of Wittman Field and the Holy Land
of Oshkosh. This was LONG before anyone else could even spell
"World Wide Web" and well before any true competition arose to
mimic our efforts to cover the greatest airshow on/over earth.
Since then, we've done something amazing, EVERY YEAR, to raise the
bar in terms of covering this event in new, exciting and intriguing
ways... and this year we have a big update to share with you.
ANN and Aero-TV will be hosting an upgraded version of our
amazing daily wrap-up at the end of the primary days of this year's
show -- an effort that will serve as an extension of our soon-to-be
introduced "Airborne" Aero-TV programming initiative. These
extensive feature programs are designed to offer you SOLID,
INDEPENDENT, EXPERT, IMPASSIONED coverage of the Oshkosh
extravaganza... in great detail -- i.e., the good, the
not-so-good and the truly remarkable. These programs will be hosted
by a number of ANN's top Aviation Journalists as well as some
popular and knowledgeable "Surprise Hosts" who will help us with
those aspects of the programming that they are best suited
for.
Each of the Airborne segments will first be webcast right from
ANN's Oshkosh HQ, in the early evening of the day and then
immediately uploaded for ready viewing and/or downloading to ANN's
own Aero-TV site, YouTube and several other major online
syndication partners. Please note that each program will be
available, to those with the requisite bandwidth and net access in
FULL HD. These archives will be maintained for years to come... and
when you're slogging through the snow in 2025, we'll be around to
show you how cool Oshkosh was in 2011.
It will be fun, exciting, fast-paced, interesting and totally
devoted to covering the world of Oshkosh with the same innovative
professionalism that we brought to the mix when we were the first
to bring you daily online reports... or when we started bringing
you the first daily audio programing from Oshkosh... or when we
started bring you the first daily video programming from Oshkosh...
and so many other "FIRSTS" ... each of which is
now mimicked (and usually not all that well) by other organizations
following our lead.
And now... just days after the webcasting of the amazing
1000th(!!!) video feature from the Aero-TV studios, we want to
invite you to participate in the next big leap in ANN and Aero-TV
coverage of this pivotal event. We're looking for your requests,
your tips, your ideas and whatever you think ANN NEEDS TO COVER to
make this year's coverage the very best yet.
Got OSHKOSH 2011 News For ANN???
We would like to invite you to submit your press materials and
news packages to us prior to the event in order to allow our team
to do as much advance preparation as possible and to get a feel for
the stories that will be prominent this year. The sooner we get
such data, the more we can do with it, and the more likely it is
that you'll find yourself featured in a future ANN newscast, Audio
Aero-Cast or Aero-TV Webcast.
Submissions are strongly encouraged by E-mail though postal
"snail mail" is acceptable so long as it is received in our office
ASAP. No aviation entity currently gets to as many people, every
day, as ANN is doing now, so we encourage you to get in contact
with us if you think you might have a story idea or a subject worth
covering.
If you have any story ideas or suggestions as to how we might
augment our coverage of this event, please be sure to bring it to
our attention ASAP, so that we make the proper assignments for
suitable stories.
ANN's Special Event coverage has been a distinguishing feature
of our organization since DAY ONE. No one does as much with special
coverage of aviation's pivotal events as ANN, and we continue to
set the bar higher each time we tackle an event. It's a tough,
exhausting, brutally intensive process -- and read by hundreds of
thousands of Aero-News readers all over the world.
Of special interest, this year, is the ever-increasing presence
of ANN's tremendously popular Aero-TV programming. As you may know,
ANN introduced the aviation world to a sneak-peek at Aero-TV at
AirVenture 2007 -- and the business hasn't been quite the same
since (and even the copy-cats can't match the quality or quantity
of our work). The very conservative 'beta' version of Aero-TV
resulted in the production of dozens of Video Aero-Casts
during the week long event and the shooting and production of
dozens more -- while our work at Oshkosh 2008, 2009 and
2010 blew the doors off the business. Since then, OVER 1000
amazing programs have been presented... yet another record
unequalled by ANY OTHER aviation news entity. No one presented as
comprehensive or as expert a slate of NewMedia offerings at Oshkosh
as did Aero-News and Aero-TV... and we're looking to treat
OSHKOSH 2011 much the same way.
These Aero-Video products can be played on your laptop or PC as
well as downloaded to a Video iPod, PDA (or other video device) for
viewing at a later time. ANN's Aero-TV Aero-Casts are HIGH-QUALITY
video products shot in HDV (no kidding, see for yourself at http://www.aero-tv.net), and produced by
expert aviation and video journalists. They feature excellent
production values as well as exciting content and insight -- with
an overall quality unmatched in the industry.
So… since ANN will be Aero-Casting LIVE from
OSHKOSH 2011, and if you have news worthy of an
Aero-Cast, we urge you to get in touch, RIGHT AWAY, with ANN's Jim Campbell, for
possible consideration.
If you need any additional detail, feel free to contact ANN's
Publisher, Jim Campbell, directly at publisher@aero-news.net. Our main office
number is 863-299-8680. ANN's cell number is 863-860-5790, though
the toll-free 800-356-7767 number will forward to us when away from

Here's what we'd like you to help us with:
- Please send us (to news@aero-news.net)
- Your advance announcement, with as much background as you can
provide us.
- In the absence of an advance announcement, a mutually agreeable
appointment or briefing time by which we can work with you, as
early as possible, to get the requisite information on news you
plan to release at OSHKOSH 2011!
- Information as to the availability of B-Roll or other video
footage... or your assistance in helping us gather same prior to
the beginning of OSHKOSH 2011. Important breaking
news may allow us to dispatch a mobile news team to your location
to gather advance B-Roll and stock footage in order to properly
prepare for the release of such news.
- A photo, or photos (the more, the better -- .jpg
preferred).
- The requisite quotes from the responsible person in your
organization or the chance to interview them for same.
- The authorized release date (and specific time, in EDT, if time

Want To Be An Oshkosh 2011 Stringer?
One of the more unique and enjoyable aspects of our coverage is
that we've been smart enough to do away with the usual
institutional arrogance we see at so many publications... where the
editors think they know what you want... whether they really do or
not (or worse, cover what THEY like... regardless of YOUR
interests).
We instituted the stringer program to allow promising writers
and photographers with a true passion for aviation to come aboard
and help us cover the Oshkosh experience through THEIR EYES and
keep us in touch with the true rank and file of the aviation
world... no one does anything like this... and we're proud to do it
every year... not only because it makes sense, but because of the
amazing friends we make every year amongst those who join us for
the annual insanity that is the unparalleled ANN Experience At
Oshkosh.
Want to Partner With ANN As An Oshkosh 2011 Sponsor???
We have aggressively packaged sponsor programs for you, and we
are bound and determined to not only pull off some amazing coverage
but to offer you the chance to get more out of your Oshkosh bucks
than ever before. We have a limited amount of spots available for
ANN's Airborne Oshkosh programming, and most of those are already
committed to some of the folks that have supported us so well, year
after year (thank you, thank you, THANK YOU)... but there IS room
for new blood.
The programs offer tremendous coverage in our online news pages,
Daily Newsletters, our Daily audio coverage and the rest of our
Daily video programming. It's an amazing online/audio/video buffet
of Oshkosh exposure and we proudly offer you what we consider to be
one of the most aggressive and visible programs we've ever taken
on.
We hope that you will give this program your consideration and
should it spark your interest, that you'll let us know so that we
can send the full programming outline to you ASAP for your
inspection.
