Too many people believe that next TV interview or magazine article is going to be “it”. So, do your best, get the interviews done, and then let ’em go. One of the primary reasons people become disenchanted with public relations is because of what I call the grand slam mentality. It’s going to change their lives.

As to your first point, that you don’t have a story that could interest the national media: why not? Remember everyone who is quoted in Time magazine, or interviewed on the Today show lives and works in some local town or city. Why couldn’t you generate national interest in your story?

I’ve interviewed many journalists and they all tell me the same thing… they don’t read press releases. You should only put logos on when you are interviewed or quoted. Find who is writing about your industry and reach out, show your value, give them information before you start pitching to them.

News releases are tricky to write … and to edit. Remember how you organized the essays you wrote in college? Communications professionals write media releases as an inverted pyramid , with the most substantial information at the beginning, and other details following in order of diminishing importance.

Media relations hinges on the relationships that we create and maintain with the press. We have to know what journalists need and how to avoid behaviors that hurt PR reputations in newsrooms. Just as important as knowing who to pitch is understanding what information to pitch and how to pitch it. Understand newsworthiness.

I myself have picked people up for interview in this manner. The best way to start receiving recommendations is to write your own for other people – be nice you will find it comes right back. Whilst this is sure to have its benefits somewhere, it is advisable to learn how to do this efficiently for yourself.
