In public relations (PR), different types of media can be used to spread messages and communicate with the target audience. Here are some common media formats used in PR:

Press releases: Written communications sent to journalists and members of the media to provide information about news, events or other relevant information.

Media contacts: personal contacts with journalists and editors to place press releases, arrange interviews or conduct background discussions.

Press conferences: Events where representatives of the media are invited to present important announcements or news and answer questions.

Media interviews: Targeted interviews with journalists or editors to share information about a company, organization, or product.

Articles: The writing and placement of articles in trade publications to present expert knowledge or provide insight on specific topics.

Guest articles and columns: the publishing of one's own articles or regular columns in newspapers, magazines or blogs to present positions or opinions.

Online PR: Using online media such as corporate websites, blogs, social media, and online press portals to publish information, engage in dialogue, and interact with target audiences.

Radio and television interviews: Interviews or appearances on radio programs or television shows to present information and promote a company's or organization's messages to a broader audience.

Events and trade shows: Attending industry events, conferences, or trade shows to showcase the company, products, or services and build relationships with customers, media, and other stakeholders.

Infographics, videos, and images: Visual media formats that can be used to present complex information or messages in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, and to share them across multiple channels.

It is important to note that the choice of media depends on the target audience, the goals of the PR campaign, and the resources available. A combination of different media formats can help increase the reach and effectiveness of PR efforts.
