State of the Media 2025: What Journalists Want from PR Pros
PR Newswire’s latest State of the Media Report reveals a shift in how journalists view trust, technology and their relationships with PR professionals. Based on insights from 3,000+ journalists across 19 countries, the report uncovers rising expectations around accuracy, transparency and AI usage in media outreach. For communicators in the life science industry, it’s a valuable look at how to build stronger, more effective media partnerships in a fast-changing landscape.
Using an Older Copier? What to Know About the Windows 11 Updates
Microsoft has made a few key updates to Windows 11 that could interrupt your scan-to-folder and scan-to-email functions—especially if you’re working with older equipment. Changes include:
- SMB v1 will no longer be supported, disrupting scan-to-folder functionality.
- Basic email authentication has been disabled, affecting scan-to-email.
- Devices that don’t support OAuth 2.0 can’t authenticate with Office 365, meaning scan-to-email might stop working altogether.
If your team relies on these features, Sharp Business Systems can help assess your equipment and recommend updates to keep things running smoothly. Contact their team with any questions here.
