What journalism database providers often fail to tell you

11/16/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS
What journalism database providers often fail to tell you is that some data in their database may not be current or may be out of date. It is important to be aware that some data contained in a journalism database may be out of date or obsolete. Therefore, consumers should always carefully verify that the data they are using is current and accurate.

Send a press release or publish it for free? - What good are free portals?

11/11/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Who doesn't know you, the free press portals on which companies can publish their press releases free of charge? Which was 20 years ago a quite feasible way, in order to generate medium interest, disappeared in the course of the time however in the Bedeutungslosigkeit, because: Hardly any editors or journalists still inform themselves on such platforms.

The best way is and remains direct contact with the editorial offices. Only in this way can you be sure that your news will be read and, if necessary, further processed.

What is the best way to approach journalists?

10/28/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The best way to approach editors or journalists is by e-mail or a short phone call. Once you have found out about the thematic orientation of your contact person, it is important to check other criteria and work through the checklist points:

  • 1. Newsworthy & relevant story
  • 2. Good press photos
  • 3. Pitch properly
  • 4. Follow-up

  • If you are not sure whether the person is the right contact person for your issue, you can also send your press release to the editorial e-mail addresses, the so-called news desk, from where the incoming reports are forwarded to the thematically appropriate departments and thus editors and journalists.

    How to build a press distribution list at low cost

    10/07/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

    The easiest and, above all, most cost-effective way to build up a press distribution list is to start with a list of all media such as newspapers, magazines/magazines, radio and TV stations, and news agencies. Only those who have a good overview of the currently relevant media channels can be sure not to overlook any major players. Google will not help you with this, as the time required to get this market overview from scratch on your own runs into the hundreds of hours.

    That's why the Media & PR Database exists. It offers you firstly an excellent overview of the German-speaking media market and secondly represents an efficient research tool for the identification of suitable editorial offices and journalists, in which you can deposit further contact data at any time.
