Listen Up! It’s PWR’s Virtual Roundtable with the Media
Ever wonder what journalists and bloggers think about news releases, social media and PR tactics? So did we. So, we asked them.
Last quarter, we reported on our interviews with ten journalists and bloggers from a variety of outlets. Our participants came from outlets including Coastal Living Magazine, NPR, Fox News and FoodProcessing.com. (Scroll down for a complete list of participants and links to their individual interviews.) We asked each of them the following seven questions and created these podcasts to share a bit of what they told us. Click the audio players below each question to listen to a sample of responses and get the flavor of what they said.
