How to Build a Brand Newsroom From the Ground Up




Join PR News’ January 22 webinar to learn the essentials of creating and running your own brand newsroom. You will discover why a dedicated newsroom operation is a necessity for your organization regardless of its size. Our trainers will also demonstrate how to create and distribute polished content and how to become a trusted source of information for your customers and your industry.

Raising brand awareness and expanding your customer base means taking your message directly to the public. But it’s not enough to just produce content in-house and push it out through various digital and social channels. You need an operation that generates journalist-quality content in a timely fashion, that is flexible and can stay on message. You need a newsroom.

At this Webinar, you'll learn how to:

  • Choose a newsroom model that suits your brand and your message
  • Assemble a newsroom team with the necessary skills
  • Develop an editorial calendar for regularly creating and publishing new content
  • Understand and adhere to the ethics of journalism
  • Create content that is easily found and shared online
  • Look to all areas of your brand as sources of content
  • Become a source of information for journalists, bloggers, employees and the public
  • Recruit and work with outside contributors including writers and editors
  • Increase the visibility and awareness of your content, and by extension, your products and services
