Events & workshops
The changing face of the newsroom - and how to pitch stories that excite editors
Our next online event takes place in early October, with guest speaker Tara Evans, former Head of Consumer at The Sun, and a lifestyle editor at a national newspaper.
We’ll take you behind the scenes of a national newsroom and explore:
- How the daily news conference works
- How editors decide which stories to pursue
- What makes a pitch stand out
- Common reasons pitches are rejected
- How PRs and founders can give their ideas the best chance of being commissioned
Tickets go on sale in early September.
Created by journalists who pitch to editors themselves
Pitch to Published was created by Elizabeth Anderson and MaryLou Costa to help PR professionals, founders and business leaders understand what journalists actually need from a story.
We work with national publications and pitch stories ourselves, so we know exactly what they're looking for.
For specialist briefs, we can also draw on our wider network of experienced journalists with relevant sector expertise.
