Quotables

• “It’s always good to look at the elements of news and align your communication, media, pitch, or news release to as many of them as possible.” — @jasonmudd9
• “You need to think of the media as an audience, a channel, and a tool to get your message out there.” — @jasonmudd9
• “You need to be thinking visually when you’re writing and pitching your story.” — @jasonmudd9
• “Contrary to popular belief, when you post something to a commercial newswire, while it might go to newsrooms, a lot of newsrooms aren’t standing by waiting for a story.”  — @jasonmudd9
• “Pitching media is very similar to doing sales because you have to have a great product, you have to have an audience that’s interested, and you’ve got to make it relevant to what they want to know or they want to do.” — @jasonmudd9
