Surveys and sector<br />

reports<br />

Shortlist the media and sections you want to<br />

be in. This is the so-called “wish list” where<br />

you will focus on. Call the outlet and ask<br />

for the name and email address of the editor<br />

covering your target section. This is how<br />

you build your updated journalist database.<br />

Track the stories your list is reporting on and<br />

start writing tailored content that they would<br />

be interested on.<br />

Pitched surveys can reap huge media rewards.<br />

You can become an authority through<br />

interesting analyses with accompanying<br />

commentary on the issues at hand. All the<br />

while, you should promote key messages<br />

that drive interest back to you.<br />

Focus groups, Forum<br />

discussion and Facebook<br />

groups<br />

The media often reaches out to these groups<br />

as a primary source of information when<br />

breaking news occurs. They are pools of<br />

experts united to a cause and frequently<br />

dictate trends. This is what makes them<br />

automatically newsworthy.<br />

If you want to get noticed in the media you need to become a reliable source of information.<br />

Building your visibility and profile is not longer an option but a must to survive in today’s<br />

market. Developing a PR strategy will increase your influence, provide unique brand<br />

recognition and ultimately create new business opportunities.<br />
