Delphi Automotive Systems Launches Virtual Press Room biz.yahoo.com TROY, Mich., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi Automotive Systems (NYSE: DPH - news) today launched its Virtual Press Room to help streamline communications with members of the press. Steven K. Gaut, director of media relations for Delphi, made the announcement. Delphi's Virtual Press Room, which does not require a password, is located at delphiauto.com . ``Delphi developed this site with journalists' deadlines and information needs in mind,' Gaut said. ``We want members of the press to be able to get general information, learn about upcoming events, download press kits and images and request interviews online. And, as Web technologies improve, we will bring more interaction to the site. ``This tool is in line with our e-business strategy of enhancing external communications through the application of Web-based technologies,' he said. ``We hope members of the press find it useful and time-saving and we invite them to provide feedback on how we can make it better for them.' The site, which is integral to Delphi's corporate site, is being launched in conjunction with Delphi's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 2000 World Congress activities and will highlight Delphi's feature technologies. In addition to standard information such as press releases, executive biographies and contact information, features of the Delphi Virtual Press Room include: Event Calendar -- Journalists can get an overview, details like the date, time and place of an event, and a contact to call to get more information or confirm attendance. Interview Requests Online -- Contacts for each executive and featured technologies are listed; journalists simply call or e-mail the contact to request an interview. Also, users can click on the Delphi executive's name to connect to biographical information and click on the featured technology for product information. Press Kits Online -- Delphi will archive all press kits, including photographs, online. Users can download the kits or request a printed copy be sent to them.
