Foot in the Door Media Strategies
Media Consultation, Writing, Editing, Event Planning, Research
I'd love to write and edit for you,
and get you the media attention you deserve.

“Dianne is great to work with. She helped me with writing projects for our brochures, speeches and our website. She's a tireless worker and has a reach way beyond her considerable educational and experiential background. Dianne is a great ghostwriter, and worked hard for me in my race for Governor. Many of the good quotes on our website were words she first uttered and I repeated. Her ideas are very helpful. She's a pro!
"Top qualities: Personable, High Integrity, Creative"
Pete Sorenson, President of the Lane County (OR) Board of Commissioners
“Dianne is a pleasure to work with. She is always upbeat and positive. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Dianne offers new and creative ideas and is willing to think outside of the box. She was not afraid to try and learn the new training delivery methods we required. CEUPlus hired her for course development and will keep her on board as long as she’s wants to stay with us. We not only value Dianne as a contractor, but as a new friend and confidant.
"Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity"
Lisa Collins, President and co-owner of CEUPlus
I've been writing since I was six years old - a long time! In truth, I love to write, and I'm especially good at editing other people's ideas and writing so they're clear, fresh, eminently readable and edgy. If you have content that needs polishing, you've come to the right place.
I'm a professional therapist as well as a writer/editor, so I'll interview you to find the core of your communication goals, and to understand every nuance of your expected outcome. Then I'll deliver what you're choosing to see.
Whether it's an oped, website content, newsletter or brochure, or academic content, you'll be pleased with the professional quality of the deliverable.
I'm a Marketplace Premium Writer on Helium, where you'll find several of my articles. I've been published in The Eugene Register-Guard, New Directions for Experiential Learning and several websites, and I'm currently creating online CEU courses for CEUPlus.
Here are articles I wrote for:
History News Network Common Dreams
Here are some of my opeds published in the Eugene (OR) Register-Guard:
Integrity of America’s Voting System is in Danger
Searches are Unwarranted, though Fear about UPA is not
I'd Love to Set Up an Event for You, While Training Your Group to Do
The Next Event on Your Own

I can train your group to plan and create an award-winning Family and Community Town Supper (FACTS), an event that you can hold again and again to delight and educate the entire community about any topic you choose.
Here's an example of a FACTS that I planned and held in my hometown to great success.
A FACTS can be used to stimulate community discussion of an issue, as a fundraiser, as the kickoff of a major project, as an educational gift to the community, or any other purpose you have.
Please contact me, Dianne Lobes, at 541/225-7553 or dianne@diannelobes.com to discuss all your media needs, including writing, editing, research and event planning.
