Season's Greetings from FIBEP President Todd Murphy I Truescope Dear FIBEP Members, As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to send warm greetings to all of you, especially our newest members. This email isn’t about business—it’s about celebrating the friendships and strong connections we share as part of the global media monitoring community. Below, I’ve included a special story I prepared—a festive twist on a classic Christmas tale. I hope it brings some holiday cheer to your day. On behalf of the FIBEP Board of Directors, I wish you a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year! Warm regards, Todd Murphy FIBEP President 'Twas the Night Before Congress (A FIBEP Parody: If the WMIC was December 25th) 'Twas the night before Congress, when all through the hall, The delegates waited for Todd’s jolly call. The banners were hung by the main stage with care, In hopes that great insights soon would be shared. The members were eager, their excitement so clear, While Todd prepped his mic, his big moment was near. With a wink and a grin, he rallied his team, To make this the best Congress yet—what a dream! When up on the rooftop arose such a sound, Magdalena looked up, her ideas profound. She waved to Carlos, who joined with a cheer, While Oresti said, “This will be our year!” Steffen cracked jokes, his laughter so merry, While Katerina planned, her clipboard to carry. Romina shared stories of MIBE galore, And Natan chimed in with sessions to explore. Then Christophe arrived with copyrights grand, Holding his notes in a firm, guiding hand. Todd called them together, his reindeer elite, “Let’s make this a Congress no one can beat!” "Now Magdalena! Now Carlos! Now Oresti and Steffen! On Katerina! On Romina! On Natan and Christophe! To the top of the stage, to the spotlight we go, We’ll guide this whole Congress and put on a show!" They dashed through the venue, their passion in flight, Lighting up every corner with knowledge and might. The crowd was inspired by the plans they unveiled, As the Congress began, not a soul had derailed. And just as the night reached its dazzling close, Two special guests appeared—oh, what a pose! Zuzana and Viky, with hearts full of cheer, Waved to the crowd as they shouted, “Next year!” With love and ambition, the Congress was done, And they all flew away, ready for more fun. But I heard Todd exclaim, as he drove out of sight, “Happy Congress to all, and to all a good night!”
