• Ownership concentration
• Little room for major media maneuvers
10. What do journalists need?

– face-to-face talk, media briefings, PR activities
• You = SOURCE
• You need to:
– understand with whom you’re talking & his / her
expectations
– understand the audience
– adapt your message accordingly.

• Learn to tell your story / message in clear,
concise and visual words

• Use all means of communication to tell the
world you exist. Media calls will come
after that.

the record.” If you don’t, don’t use it.

event?

• Timing is essential

something about your event?

press release pays back?
• Press releases are dying
– No exclusivity

– Written by people with no media experience
• If you must write a press release:
– Make it attractive

– Offer contacts for later talk
