You’re sending pitches into the void. Journalists are overwhelmed, newsrooms run leaner than ever, and AI has changed how stories get sourced and written. The PR professionals who still rely on blanket press releases and generic media lists are being ignored — not because their stories are bad, but because their approach is outdated.
THE TRANSFORMATION
This course takes you inside the modern AI-driven newsroom so you understand exactly what editors want — and how to deliver it. You’ll learn to spot genuinely newsworthy data angles, write press releases structured for both human journalists and AI discoverability, and craft pitches so compelling they get opened, read and acted on.
You’ll practise handling tough questions in a live press conference simulation and hear directly from working journalists and editors about what they wish PR people understood. This isn’t theory — it’s the practical edge that separates PR professionals who get coverage from those who get silence.
