List and discuss the key fundamentals of a successful media pitch

What will be an ideal response?


• First, do your homework. Every public relations writing assignment begins with research; that's particularly important with respect to pitching.
• Second, personalize. The best pitches are directed personally to one particular reporter and tailored to his or her interests.
• Third, be polite and honest. Be up front and explain who you are and what the client campaign is all about. Be honest, and don't "spin."
• Fourth, localize. Reporters report locally, so they prefer local news.
• Fifth, use celebrities. Like it or not, celebrities sell.
• Sixth, be creative. Your pitch must stand out from the rest.
