It’s a fact: the ratio of PR pros to reporters stands at 6:1. That metric is expected to become even more lopsided in the future.

With more communicators chasing fewer journalists, how should PR pros adjust their media relations efforts? Should you change how you work with journalists? Should your pitching tactics be different? If so, how?

Join PRNEWS on June 27 when some of the top minds in media relations will offer you tips, tactics and strategies to help your media relations effort stand out from that of numerous other communicators. This webinar will teach you how to effectively communicate with the media to build successful relationships and, ultimately, get the coverage you need.

As a bonus, our trainers will tackle your pitches, offering you confidential advice on how to bolster the chances that journalists will want to learn about your brand’s story (see below).

Find out how you can raise the chances that your pitch will be among the few.  And once read -- improve the odds your story will be published. Register today!
