Media tips

Does the thought of writing a press release throw you into disarray? Or, maybe planning to speak to a journalist fills you with dread. Would you rather decline the opportunity of a radio interview for fear of making a fool of yourself?

Then, fear no more! This section of my website is aimed at helping you to get good press coverage. Here you can find the most effective ways of promoting your business, sharing your vision or telling your story.

I have worked for over twenty five years in TV and radio journalism and a further ten years in public relations. So, I have put together some tips that will generate positive media attention for your project.

Firstly, get to know one or two local journalists with whom you can build up a good working relationship. Despite the decline of the local press in the first two decades of the 21st century, most local and regional broadcast stations are still thriving.

You will find the media can be a helpful ally. Local press and broadcasters have a good reputation for local accuracy. That’s because they know your area. And so, they rely on local contacts and must keep a good reputation.
