Media Relations in a New Media Landscape
Erin Caldwell – Account Director, Corporate Ink
John Costello – Account Executive, Corporate Ink
When was the last time you picked up a physical newspaper? Chances are it’s been a while, but you’ve probably browsed, shared and commented on an article online. Reporters know this trend better than anyone, and they are increasingly thinking about stories in terms of important metrics like page views, time on page, Google rankings and retweets. Getting reporters to buy into your story idea requires a new pitch strategy, but pitching doesn’t end with story placement anymore. This workshop for starters will help you craft a better pitch, and leverage your story once it appears for even more traction.
