How Do Local Journalists Use Social
Media and What Do They Need from PR Pros?
Thursday, March 25,
2010
It’s a new age for PR pros, journalists and editors. Social media
enables us to communicate more quickly, relevantly than ever before,
and those mediums offer new opportunities for us to become trusted
sources. But how do you appropriately forge a relationship via
social media? What about pitches? Is a well-written alert or news
release still necessary? Should you bring video, photography, links
along with the story? What are editors and reporters looking for? Do
they actively seek sources via social media that they don’t in other
forums? Which social media outlets do they use? What’s on their wish
list?
Find out from our panel of journalists who are
actively using social media and digital tools to enhance their
reporting:
Susan Kim, anchor and reporter, WTMJ-TV Channel 4
Alysha Schertz, business reporter, Milwaukee BizTimes
Bobby
Tanzilo, managing editor, OnMilwaukee.com
