Today, we received the following calls from reporters looking for resources for stories they are writing.

COMPUTERWORLD
Patrick Martino is writing a freelance story for ComputerWorld about Chinese banks’ core banking systems. He is looking for experts who can talk to the following questions about banks in China: How are Chinese banks looking to improve their risk management systems? How are they switching from paper to electronic processes, and how are they rolling out new platforms to support new services such as e-banking? How are banks looking to increase productivity and increase transparency? I’m also interested in how the challenges Chinese banks face are the same as those U.S. banks faced in the past.

Vendors, please contact Patrick only if you have users who are willing to talk on the record. He is on China Shanghai Time. Email Patrick at Patrick.D.Martino (at) gmail.com. Deadline is Thursday, November 16.

INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY
Reinhardt Krause, Investors Business Daily, is seeking experts on the status of China in the WTO five years after joining — currency, banking, intellectual property, auto parts, etc. Email is reinhardt.krause (at) investors.com and his deadline is Thursday, November 16, at 1:00 PM.

He would love to get some guesses on how relations between journalists and PR people might change, how social media will continue to impact PR, and what media trends may impact how PR people work with the press. Email Chris at chrisk (at) ckeditorial.com. His deadline is Thursday, November 16.
