We’re breeding rabbits
Have you ever wondered why some people are quoted as
‘experts’? Becoming an industry expert who’s regularly
called upon by reporters for comment, takes trust and
understanding on both sides.
Reporters have regular contacts, sometimes referred to
in newsrooms as people who are ‘media bunnies’ or ‘media
savvy’, which are relied on for accurate information and
quotes in plain English. To become one, it’s important
that you know what reporters need to make press, radio
and television stories work, particularly if they are
working to tight deadlines.
Many of our clients have built a positive rapport with
reporters. As a result, they’re often in the media
spotlight. It’s free and credible coverage for them and
reliable punchy soundbites for the reporters.
Here's an email from one of our recent Media Master Class delegates:
“I came on the very useful Mediapro course on the Friday
23rd, and thought you'd like to know that just 1 week
later I was called by the producer of Women's Hour ..
It worked, and so I'll be on women's hour on Friday!”
