Quotables
  • “It helps when the PR professional pitches something very specific – something that the rest of the newsroom doesn't know about.” — @ashleybillings
  • “It loses the impact of being news if everyone knows about it.” — @jasonmudd9
  • “Visuals are very important. Any time a PR firm can share pictures or video, that’s an extra thing to ensure that their story gets on TV.” — @ashleybillings 
  • “If you email everybody, you’re really emailing nobody.” — @jasonmudd9
