How to make contacts? Read, listen and watch Network Research online Work in partnership

Is the press release dead? PRESS RELEASE A summary of facts about an event, exhibition, programme or issue on which you want media attention It must contain news

How to write a press release Inverted pyramid style First paragraph is "lead" and contains the most important information Subsequent paragraphs expand on information and give more detail

A good press release Who, what, when, where, why, and how Who is the subject of the story? What is the story about? When is, or was, the event? Where is, or was, it happening? Why is the information important?

Selling in Journalists receive hundreds of press releases a day Your journalist contact has to sell your story to the editor Journalists can switch off after the first paragraph Work to the journalist’s deadline - always ask when their deadline is

Selling in Preparation is key Know the publications/outlets you’re calling Be enthusiastic End by asking ‘Is this of interest? Any examples?

PR & Social Media Website – update regularly Social Media -Blogs -Twitter -Vimeo -Flickr -Facebook

This is news There’s no point selling in a story if the journalist’s going to ask ‘so what?’ Something that’s relevant to the current news cycle Is it a story that you’d want to read?

Making an impact 55% judge you on how you say things 38% judge you by what you look like 7% judge you by what you say

Any questions?
