Reap what you sew

Social Licence and online newsrooms

For those who may not be aware, Social Licence is the level of acceptance or approval that stakeholders and communities extend to projects, sites, companies, or industries. In an era of climate change, where actions in one country impact us all, Social License to operate is high in the media, public, government and businesses agenda. Such a license is based on trust and confidence – hard to win, easy to lose.

Building valued relationships with individual journalists

The best company press page is not a press page

There is an AdWords campaign for an online newsroom solution that starts with the line 'don't overpay for PR software'. While this may seem an attractive promise, it's leading to organisations committing to PR software solutions that fail to meet the needs of enterprises. In life, there are few exceptions where cheap means better, and when dealing with the reputation of multibillion-dollar originations, cheap is never better.

Outside the echo chamber

Agitation. Acceptance. Action

The three legs of the milking stool of non-profit PR are agitation, acceptance, and action. While every non-profit will have its own goals with media engagement, they all will include at least one of these focuses, with some including all three.

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED

What journalist need

Lookatmedia™ newsroom vs. the alternative

There are two parts to the cost of an effective newsroom, and the first is the cost of not having one. Suppose you have no or an ineffective newsroom that doesn't draw in and support a diverse range of journalists. In that case, you're missing out on earned media opportunities and ways to enhance and protect your reputation. The second cost is the missed opportunities where journalists on deadline are forced to move to other sources for their stories simply because your PR team lacks the resources and time to meet journalists' real needs.

Press Release plus
