Making Friends in Media: Developing and Maintaining Relationships with Journalists and Editors
Monday May 12, 2014, 1:30-3 p.m. ET
($379 per site - CDs available for purchase)
Join PR News for an in-depth discussion on developing relationships with journalists and editors, and the best way to keep those channels of communications open. Our panel will talk about what it means to think like a journalist, how to anticipate their needs, how to make them feel invested in your story and much more.
At this Webinar, you'll learn how to:
- Determine the optimal time to deliver news releases to journalists
- Craft a story pitch that grabs a journalist's attention
- Separate real news from promotional content
- Determine and adhere to reporter deadlines
- Understand and deliver to journalists the information they need to tell your story
- Engage journalists regularly and effectively on social media
- Work with bloggers to tailor your content to their needs
- Create and use target media lists of relevant journalist and blogger contacts
- Establish touch points to personalize relationships with journalists
- Broaden your contacts to other people in the newsroom
As a communicator, you frequently look to journalists to help you get your message to the public. A well-placed news item can provide positive exposure for your brand that advertising can’t buy. And when timing counts in a rapidly developing story or crisis, it’s much better to have a known contact in the newsroom than to have to search for a reporter to cover your side of the story.
