Common Mistakes That
Journalists Make When
Writing Pr News
Pitches
Press Release Power
These few Mistakes Will Destroy Your PR
NEWS
You can't just write a good pitch and
send it off to someone who will be
interested in your story (or company).
You have to know how to craft an
effective pitch that tells your reader
why they should care about what you
have to say (and vice versa). And if that
sounds like something you've never
done before, don't worry! Here are
seven common mistakes that
journalists make when writing pr news
pitches:
You're not telling a story.
A story is the heart of any great pitch. It's how you connect with your
audience and make them feel something, whether it's fear or admiration.
But what exactly is a story? And why should you be telling one in your
pitch?
A good story has three main components: character, conflict and
resolution. These elements work together to create an emotional arc
that paints a complete picture of who you are as an organization and
what value you bring to clients' lives (or vice versa).
You're writing about yourself, not your reader.
The second mistake is when you're
writing about best press release
service yourself, and not your
reader. This can be a common
mistake for writers who have been
told to "write with your audience in
mind." But the problem with this
advice is that it's not enough—you
need to take another step further by
asking yourself what do I want this
person (or people) to know?
You're writing for a corporate
audience, not a human one.
When you're writing for your news release audience, you should use a
human voice and tell stories that are relevant to them. You can do this by:
● Using words that your audience will understand. If they don't know what
"content" means, they won't understand the context of your content.
● Writing in an engaging way that makes sense to them (i.e., don't use
jargon).
● Telling a story with an interesting plotline and characters who feel real
or relatable on some level (even if it's just because they're annoying).
You're not getting in front of the news issue.
make sure that when it comes time for
the news story:
● You have some great quotes ready
to go—preferably ones that show
off your expertise or point out an
important detail of their story that
hasn't already been covered by
others in the industry (this will give
them credibility)
● You are close behind once more—
don't wait until after someone else
has made their pitch before
sending yours out onto social
media.
The end of your pitch has no call to action.
The end of your pitch has no call to action.
This is the most important part of your pitch, so it's easy to forget about it. But
if you don't tell people what you want them to do next, then how can they
help? You need a clear call-to-action at the end of every press release so that
readers know where they should go next: emailing me or visiting my press
release sites (or both).
Make sure that when you write "email" or "visit" in your headline sentence,
there's also space next to it where people can type in their own information—
like their name and contact info—so they'll feel comfortable contacting you
directly. And make sure there's room for them to share whatever content
works best for them!
You're burying the lead and the takeaways.
The lead and the takeaway are the most important issue press release parts of your
pitch. If you don't get that right, you will not get coverage. You need to grab the
reader's attention with those first few sentences so that they'll read on. Be sure to
include a takeaway (a lesson or take away) at the end of your article as well!
Conclusion
Writers have been using the power of words for centuries, and
we’re still learning business news today ways to use them every
day. It’s important to remember that writing works best when it’s
simple, clear and effective—so your writing should be just like
that!

Common Mistakes That Journalists Make When Writing Pr News Pitches.pptx

  • 1. Common Mistakes That Journalists Make When Writing Pr News Pitches Press Release Power
  • 2. These few Mistakes Will Destroy Your PR NEWS You can't just write a good pitch and send it off to someone who will be interested in your story (or company). You have to know how to craft an effective pitch that tells your reader why they should care about what you have to say (and vice versa). And if that sounds like something you've never done before, don't worry! Here are seven common mistakes that journalists make when writing pr news pitches:
  • 3. You're not telling a story. A story is the heart of any great pitch. It's how you connect with your audience and make them feel something, whether it's fear or admiration. But what exactly is a story? And why should you be telling one in your pitch? A good story has three main components: character, conflict and resolution. These elements work together to create an emotional arc that paints a complete picture of who you are as an organization and what value you bring to clients' lives (or vice versa).
  • 4. You're writing about yourself, not your reader. The second mistake is when you're writing about best press release service yourself, and not your reader. This can be a common mistake for writers who have been told to "write with your audience in mind." But the problem with this advice is that it's not enough—you need to take another step further by asking yourself what do I want this person (or people) to know?
  • 5. You're writing for a corporate audience, not a human one. When you're writing for your news release audience, you should use a human voice and tell stories that are relevant to them. You can do this by: ● Using words that your audience will understand. If they don't know what "content" means, they won't understand the context of your content. ● Writing in an engaging way that makes sense to them (i.e., don't use jargon). ● Telling a story with an interesting plotline and characters who feel real or relatable on some level (even if it's just because they're annoying).
  • 6. You're not getting in front of the news issue. make sure that when it comes time for the news story: ● You have some great quotes ready to go—preferably ones that show off your expertise or point out an important detail of their story that hasn't already been covered by others in the industry (this will give them credibility) ● You are close behind once more— don't wait until after someone else has made their pitch before sending yours out onto social media.

But if you don't tell people what you want them to do next, then how can they help? You need a clear call-to-action at the end of every press release so that readers know where they should go next: emailing me or visiting my press release sites (or both). Make sure that when you write "email" or "visit" in your headline sentence, there's also space next to it where people can type in their own information— like their name and contact info—so they'll feel comfortable contacting you directly. And make sure there's room for them to share whatever content works best for them!
  • 8. You're burying the lead and the takeaways. The lead and the takeaway are the most important issue press release parts of your pitch. If you don't get that right, you will not get coverage. You need to grab the reader's attention with those first few sentences so that they'll read on. Be sure to include a takeaway (a lesson or take away) at the end of your article as well!
