Dos and don’ts for holiday media pitching. Your PR team may be determined to grab some visibility during a holiday season, but if the story doesn’t fit, don’t force it.

A Strong Point of View – while the PR team can help formulate an argument by using data (by analyzing what people are not currently saying), they’re not the experts. No, you’re not diluting the story by including other sources in your pitch, you’re creating the story.
