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. Plus, these platforms are often a microcosm of the larger media landscape and reflect what reporters are looking for to drive clicks and eyes to their content, which can inform and sharpen your proactive media outreach.
