Editor's Notes
1. Can you give them more interesting information?
2. Can you package it better?
3. Can you give them
There are dedicated columns on specific days that deal with development. Can you find place ?
Which are the lean days? When are they looking for help?
There are dedicated reporters for specific beats. Is development a beat ? IF yes, who covers it?
If not, what comes close to it? Who covers it?
4. Are you reaching the right person? Who has the authority to pass stories? Who wants a byline?
What journalists want but rarely get is suggestions for exclusive stories targeted at their readership or viewers and backed up with case studies to bring the issue alive.
there were huge areas of the media that were under exploited by charities who were missing a trick in focussing on news desks rather than pitching tailor-made ideas to features desks and magazines.
