19. Media Myth # 1 Only we need the media The media needs us as much
20. Media Myth # 2 Only large organizations and reputed people get coverage Good news and interesting stories get coverage: only media focus required
21. Media Myth # 3 Only significant news is a good story Stories don’t always transpire, they can be created too
22. Media Myth # 4 Its very difficult to get across to editors / journalists With the right story in hand they might actually be waiting for you
23. Media Myth # 5 One needs to entertain reporters to get covered Gifts might work, but they don’t have time otherwise for socializing
24. Media Myth # 6 Being in news means free publicity Mostly yes, but you can even pay for being visible and for self glory
25. Other Media Myths One can leverage media relationships to generate coverage One can negotiate editorial coverage on back of advertising Journalists spend hours hunting down stories and following up leads A journalist needs to know everything about a story
26. Other Media Myths (contd.) A journalist is obliged to write about an event if they accept the invitation Journalists don’t make changes to the media releases Journalists need a follow-up call after submitting a release An editor is the one who decides what stories will appear
35. PR and Story Telling Know your story, know your audience, and tell your story better than anyone else. And don't forget to smile.
36. Pointers to a Powerful Release Most importantly, send the release to the right person. Avoid getting discarded as spam. And mention the contact person with contact details for more information.
