Know your media – read your local paper, listen
to your local radio and watch your local TV so you know
how they report stories and what type of stories they like.
Ring them up and check which journalists cover your
issue and when their deadlines are. Introduce yourself
and tell them what issues you work on.
Keep your press release short and to the
point – preferably all on one page or maximum two.
Send your press release in the body of
the email – don’t send it as an attachment and
don’t include logos. Emails with attachments often get
bounced back.
Follow up your release – ring the news desk
to check they have your release, whether they will be
covering the story and if they have all the information
they need.
Pick your time to ring journalists try not
to ring close to deadlines as they won’t have time to
chat. You can fi nd out their deadlines by ringing the
news desk. For example, journalists on daily papers are
usually very busy in the late afternoon – it’s best to ring
them mid-morning.
If the journalist isn’t interested in your
story, ask why – it will be useful learning for your
next story.
Don’t be put off – there might be a whole host of
reasons why your story isn’t used – a bigger news story
might have squeezed it out, they may have just run a
similar story or it might not have grabbed the editor of
the day. Keep trying.
Interesting photo opportunities might
generate media interest – particularly for TV,
which needs something to fi lm. For example, if you meet
the council you could make it more interesting to the
media by organising a photo opportunity outside.
