So You Want To Write a Media Release and Influence a Journalist? Part 4

Posted on 27 May 2010

Here’s Part 4 of a list of resources that I’ve compiled about media releases and media relations. (See Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.)

There are lots of great resources about media releases and media relations on the ragan.com website, but you have to become a member, at US$279 per year. Note: That’s not an affiliate link; I don’t benefit if you sign up. (See @MarkRaganCEO on twitter)
