How do you get a journalist interested in your news release? How do you approach the journalist? This workshop focuses on the importance of having a story the journalist wants, and how to present it as effectively as possible. Delegates will examine various strategies that will help to increase their success rate when selling-in stories to the media. The programme is highly interactive.

Topics

  • Why everyone has problems with the idea of selling-in stories
  • Making sure it is a good story
  • What the journalist wants
  • Managing client/internal expectations
  • Communicating a good story – writing it
  • Communicating a great story – speaking it
  • Who to approach, when and how
  • Telephone techniques
  • E-mail techniques
  • Common mistakes people make

Learning Outcomes

Delegates will feel a greater degree of confidence when constructing effective news stories and in filtering out stories with little or no news value. They will approach the selling process in a sophisticated and strategic way so that the chances of success are increased.
