>> My name is Jessica Shackern [assumed
spelling] and I'm an education account manager

00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:10.200
for the "New York Times" sold by PCF and
what I do is help educators incorporate the

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:11.960
"New York Times" into their curriculum.

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:17.050
So usually they use it as a
supplemental text or a main text

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:22.700
so they will actually be using subscriptions to
the Times whether print or digital and use it

00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:28.550
as a form of free search of another,
you know resource for students to use.

00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:34.640
I cover eight states so I have a
territory and I'm the main point of contact

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.680
for all the universities at those
schools and there's eight states

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:44.160
and what I do is either help bring the Times
in print or digital to campus as an amenity

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.380
for students or as textbooks, kind of like
as a textbook manufacturer to the faculty.

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:53.440
So I'll be on campuses so sometimes I
actually, since I have eight states,

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:57.710
I have to fly so I'll visit Kentucky
a lot, that's one of my states.

00:00:57.710 --> 00:01:02.080
And I'll book up appointments through those
days that I'm out so those can entail meetings

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:07.680
with deans, faculty that use us, potential
faculty that might, you know be interested

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.250
in using the Times in their class.

00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:14.640
And then I also meet with student government
leaders because they're the ones that can use,

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.500
bring the Times to campus and then I'll do
faculty workshops where I actually present

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:22.660
to faculty and show them
the instructional strategies

00:01:22.660 --> 00:01:24.570
and resources that are available to them.
