How do I place articles in the media?

03/13/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Placing articles in the media requires careful planning and preparation. Here are some steps you can follow to increase your chances of successful media placement:

Identify relevant media: research and identify media outlets that are relevant to your target audience. Think about what topics and content are published in these media and which journalists are responsible for these topics.

Write a press release: Write a press release that presents your topic or story in an engaging and interesting way. Make sure the press release is well structured and to the point.

Write a pitch: write a pitch that summarizes the key points of your story or topic and why it is relevant to the target media audience. The pitch should be short, concise and engaging.

Send your materials: send the press release and pitch to relevant journalists via email or a press portal. Make sure you have the journalists' email addresses correct and complete.

Follow-up: Follow-up by email or phone to make sure your materials have arrived and to motivate journalists to cover your topic.

Offer expert interviews: Offer to make yourself available to journalists for interviews to provide more information about your topic or story.

Keep in touch: Maintain good relationships with journalists by regularly offering them interesting topics and content. This will increase your chances of them covering your business in the future.

It is important to note that successful media placement is not guaranteed and that media placement also depends on factors such as the relevance of your topic or story, the quality of your materials, and your relationship with journalists.
