Pitch Perfect: How to Get Your Story Noticed by the National Media
Are you a PR professional, entrepreneur, writer or someone else eager to know what it takes to get your brand or idea noticed by a national media outlet? What subject lines stand out? What story ideas resonate? How long, short, detailed or vague should you pitch be? Should you call, text, or email? How much do connections matter? How do you even get an editor's email to begin with? Learn it all from Anna Medaris Miller, now a senior health reporter at Insider who's been on your side, too.
