Tips for creating and nurturing reporter relationships (from a reporter): 1️⃣ Switch your mindset from “pitching” to engaging with the media. Find ways to connect with potential target reporters before you pitch them. Ask what they’re working on or relevant angles and opportunities they may have coming up. Make an effort to intentionally check in – relationships are a two-way street. 2️⃣ IRL meetups are alive and well – use them! In fact, that’s how our “Carved Out Conversation” with Tech Target’s Senior News Writer, Don Fluckinger, came to be. 3️⃣ Add keywords to your pitches to make them easier to find in crowded inboxes. This helps the pitch stand out in inboxes and makes it easily searchable down the line. A B2C pitching example: include terms like “review,” “sample,” “holiday,” or “holiday gift guide/HGG” to help a journalist track down your pitch quicker during busier times.
