I’ve been working in PR for more than eight years, and it’s now more difficult than ever to get a journalist’s attention and to gain coverage for a client. Whereas you used to be able to give a reporter a quick call to talk through a story pitch, now you’re lucky if you can even find a phone number to call. Journalism has had to change to adapt to the influence of social media, and that means story pitches that were once guaranteed to be of interest are no longer certain to be picked up. It also means we as PR practitioners have to work harder and smarter. We’ve compiled some of our top tips for pitching to journalists in our new blog. If you want to get your story covered by the media, get in touch to see how me and my colleagues at Petersens PR can help you.
