A friendly reminder

Posted March 30, 2007 * Comments(0)

We’re always in the market (usually twice a week) for piccap ideas. If you’re going to have a illustrative event, let us know beforehand and send us pictures when you receive them.

We’d much rather highlight PR initiatives in action then just take pictures of who is in the news.

Admonish-free post

Posted March 26, 2007 * Comments(0)

I apologize if I was previously a bit chiding in my previous posts. We’ve cleared that forest. I, instead, want to point you to a podcast that I did with Elly Trickett, features editor/deputy editor here at PRWeek. She interviewed me about my feature on Google. It’s the first time we’ve done it, so I hope it serves to show we’re always interested in providing you, the readers (and listeners) with new content and always like to hear suggestions.

How to pitch; not by mail!

Posted March 23, 2007 * Comments(0)

As previously said, I’m trying to become a little greener each day. Through prints out and subway reading, I use a lot of paper. And that concerns me. But what concerns me more is being sent snail mailed press releases. Please don’t do this unless there’s some added component that makes postal mail compulsory. Considering how I often want press releases yesterday, the fact that it reaches me days after it was sent, rather than milliseconds, also provides a compelling argument for e-mail. Keep in mind, I’m not speaking for the rest of PRWeek. One man’s humble opinion.

When to pitch; answer: not Friday!

Posted March 19, 2007 * Comments(0)

We know all about confidentiality and the signing of contracts and the fear of jinxing a great account win that will preclude you from reaching out to us earlier in the week.
But that does not mean that we change our deadlines. I make it a habit of telling people (if they want to put themselves in the best possible situation to get in the next edition of the magazine) to pitch us on Monday.

Definitely Tuesday, and no later than Wednesday. I usually have a very good idea of what’s going to run where (on the back pages and page 2) on Tuesday evening. Unless you come sweeping in with a Fortune 500 win on Thursday or a game-changing M&A - I will likely tell you to hold your news for a week. It’s obviously up to you whether you take that advice.

If you do release your news on Friday, that means it will be more than a week until we put it in the magazine; that will likely affect placement.

The more you know…

Here is our publishing schedule:

Tuesday evening - sending one back page

Wednesday AM - sending the other back page (if there)

Wednesday PM - sending page 3 (which includes launchpad)

Thursday AM - sending page 2

Thursday PM - sending cover page

Also worth noting: If you pitch me great news on Monday, I’m not going to put on a back page just to fill a slot.
