What Reporters Want: Research Study


As a former journalist with a decade of experience as an on-air reporter and news anchor, I know how newsrooms work. I have insider knowledge with story pitching, securing interviews, and writing press releases.

It’s all about earning the spot by pitching a story that's worth the spot.

It truly comes down to the quality of the pitch or press release and the effectiveness of an organization’s outreach process and technique. 

Through my professional training as a journalist, I know how to pitch a story, create relationships with newsrooms, and serve as an ongoing resource for future coverage.

I want to help you earn it too.
