MEDIA NEED YOUR NEWS!

Journalists are expected to produce more with less,while still:

• Telling stories in multiple ways (photos, video, infographic, etc.)

• Publishing in more channels (print, web, blog, social, etc.)

Promise

@mpranikoff #PRSANELuncheon

• Make your news easy to read and digest.

Think “info-snacks”

• Use bold to separate ideas – But Don’t

Overdo It!

• Bullet points are great to use. – Make this

your Tweet.

•Think about having a “Quotes” section

instead of burying the quote.

•Easy To Read means Easier to Use!
