The quick media pitch

One of the challenges PR professionals manage daily is identifying stories that fit an individual journalist's immediate needs. Solutions like HARO (Help A Reporter Out) and other newswire services allow journalists to post requests for stories on specific subjects. Most of these stories don't relate to trending storylines and offer PR teams the opportunity for more 'bread and butter' earned media coverage. The challenge for PR professionals is matching their stories with the type of stories journalists want.

A healthier online newsroom

In a recent survey, journalists confirmed that they are desperate for 'good news' stories to combat the overwhelming media attention on the impact of COVID 19.

A Media pitch that pitches itself

If you talk to most journalists and media representatives, they will volunteer the fact that the best media pitches are the ones that fit their specific needs. They say they are much more open to receiving a pitch that aligns with their beat and personal style and focus. If that’s the case, why are many of the pitches journalists receive entirely unsuited to the journalists.

Social license for resource companies

Is your organisation operating in a responsible way? Do you have a history of good actions, or have you reformed or improved how you operate in line with the cultural and societal nuances of the communities in which you work?

Elevating your earned media to the next level

Earned media once meant publication on broadcast and print media. Now it’s a catch-all phrase for everything from a shared social post to amplification across broadcast media. While increased social media coverage is a crucial arrow in the PR arsenal, the main goal is still mainstream media coverage.

While it seems this type of coverage is increasingly elusive, the reality is more channels, and media brands are seeking more content more often. The disconnect occurs when PR professionals deploy the same technologies that deliver diminishing returns, expecting better outcomes.
