It's PR Darlings
Claim This Podcastby Greer Quinn + Jo Stone
Podcast Overview
<p>Ever wondered why some companies make the news, but others don't? To combat the lack of understanding on how news becomes news, two former journo colleagues Greer Quinn and Jo Stone have joined forces to launch a podcast demystifying the misunderstood professions of public relations and journalism. Greer and Jo speak to an array of journalists, including iconic feature writer and author Trent Dalton, Channel Seven’s Sunrise presenter Tamra Bow, ABC Morning Show host Tom Forbes as well as a range of industry experts and service providers, so you can have all the tools in your kit to score publicity. Asking journos everything from what time they get up in the morning, to pet peeves and favourite yarns, It's PR Darlings pulls back the curtain, to provide an insider's look on how newsrooms and corporate communications work. The duo believes that for media to survive and thrive the era of misinformation and disinformation, there’s a need for greater transparency around the profession. Media cutbacks have left newsrooms under-resourced, so more than ever communications and PR professionals need to step up and make the journo's job easier. Greer and Jo will also delve into crisis management, news values, how to package a pitch and media ethics. And to ensure, you can talk the industry talk, each show of It’s PR Darlings will be brought to you by some of those weird words and jargon that get thrown in the mix like “noddy”, “pre-rec” and “talent”. Great podcast for media, communications professionals, businesses and startups wanting to boost their skills, knowledge and newsworthiness. </p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
