As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Newswise’s Fast Pitch is a great way to pitch your news to our reporters in a face-to-face video meeting. Here’s another success story. This time it’s from the University of Maryland Medical System.
Sometimes meeting reporters face to face is the best route for coverage. Here’s a success story of Newswise’s Fast Pitch sessions.
During the past years we have seen an increase in demand for experts on several topics. Reporters are looking for subject matter experts that can provide quotes, interviews, and comment on breaking news events. How can you get on board with this trend? Give your story a new angle by pitching your expert.
In a recent analysis of 130 releases, we’ve found that articles where the institution’s name were not in the headline received 20 percent more views than those that had the institute’s name in them.
One article. One Newswise daily wire. 40,688 hits, 518 facebook shares, and 82 comments. Boom. Here’s the story: a Newswise article went viral last month after being shared by a major social media influencer. A Penn State College of Medicine article, “Medicaid Waivers Help Parents of Children with Autism Stay in the Workforce,” was distributed in the Newswise wires, and a freelancer at Autism Speaks shared it on the organization’s Facebook page.
Occasionally reporters let us know about their use of releases from Newswise. Not long ago, one of our reporter subscribers shared a link to her article in which she used our release from the World Conservation Society (WCS).
Every day Newswise members have successful content, but not everyone sees that success.
Newswise is excited to announce our new collaboration and partnership with the World Federation of Science Journalists (WFSJ).
