In just 90 minutes you’ll learn smart tips, tools and next practices for managing and improving your media relations initiatives. You’ll walk away with the most effective ways to leverage social media, break through the noise and gain the edge on the competition.
Join PR News for this Webinar that will provide the tactics you need to build relationships with key media professionals for your brand or your organization. In addition to showing you how media professionals are using the major social networks, our expert media relations trainers will also show you what kinds of actions are most likely to produce negative reactions and harm your relationships with time-strapped journalists and bloggers.
This essential Webinar will train you in the do’s and don’ts of building relationships with the media via social networks. Despite the oft-stated sentiment from media pros that they prefer email communications with PR practitioners above all other methods of contact, they have migrated to social networks in a big way; nearly 70% of media professionals use Twitter as a reporting/sourcing tool, 35% are using Facebook and 92% of them have a LinkedIn account. This PR News Webinar will show you how to best use each major social platform to make all of your media relations initiatives more successful, forge new connections with media professionals and strengthen your existing ties.
