3 Overview- PR Today Internet and social media has changed your ability to reach and engage stakeholders People s experience of the news is becoming a shared experience (Pew Center) 75% get news from s and social media updates 37% comment or disseminate news electronically More options to target your news More competition for space with mainstream press Developing your own content is a powerful component of today s press strategy
4 How People Consume News According to a recent Pew survey There is no single source of news for most people. 46% of respondents get their news from 4 to 6 media platforms daily. The internet is hot: More people (61%) get their news from the internet than from newspapers (50%) or radio (54%), thought TV is still #1, with 78% of respondents say they get their local news from TV. People visit between 2 and 5 online news sources. Almost a third have news customized based on their interests. News consumption has become a social experience that happens anytime, anywhere. 75% of respondents get news forwarded through or posts on social networking sites. 52% say they share links.
5 The Starting Point: Telling Your Organization s Story Must convey what you do (the goal), how you do it (the services), who you do it for (demographics), and where A good elevator pitch: Robert Tolmach on philanthropy.com/article/ Video-The-Art-of-the-Eleva/65154/ How do you communicate your story? What are your current communication tools? Good examples: Good promotional video: let clients tell the story wouldyouhelp.org Good Facebook: provide fans with timely and useful information, not just self-promotion facebook.com/downtown.alliance Good website: develop and design content for your target audiences, provide new and useful content and links to keep them browsing, give them lots of options to give and get involved redcross.org
