As newsrooms continue to shrink, reporters are under more pressure to deliver timely, relevant, searchable high-quality content. In this hurried environment, it’s important to keep tabs on exactly what reporters need.
Part of the way to manage the process is to tap into a variety of reporter source-request platforms, including Qwoted, HERO (Source of Sources), the newly reinvigorated HARO (Help-A-Reporter-Out), and more, and monitor them throughout each day.
It is also important for companies to tap into real-time media opportunities that build visibility, credibility and momentum, resulting in slam-dunk media wins and opening the door to long-term reporter relationships.
If you can quickly tee up a valuable media-trained expert or insightful content, you’ll become any reporter’s best friend.
