One of the challenges PR professionals manage daily is identifying stories that fit an individual journalist's immediate needs. Solutions like HARO (Help A Reporter Out) and other newswire services allow journalists to post requests for stories on specific subjects. Most of these stories don't relate to trending storylines and offer PR teams the opportunity for more 'bread and butter' earned media coverage. The challenge for PR professionals is matching their stories with the type of stories journalists want.

Responding with a quick media pitch

Many of these story requests are time-sensitive. Creating specific content for these opportunities may also distract from core PR activities. Lookatmedia™ can help you fill these media requests instantly, using the content you've already created and published in your newsroom.

Repurposing published stories

As you build a library of story ideas and research documents on your Lookatmedia™ newsroom, you build opportunities to repurpose your stories for a more diverse range of journalists. Lookatmedia™ makes it simple to compare what journalists are seeking with the content that already exists in your newsroom. When you find a match, you simply send a link for the article. You may even send multiple links, increasing your chance of success.

Illustrating content

The wonderful part of Lookatmedia™ is that once a journalist clicks on a link you send, they soon discover they can also register to have frictionless access to the images and videos used to illustrate your story, or discover and choose other assets that fit with their story. In doing so, you collect the journalists' contact details and permission to contact them with other story ideas.

Promoting Thought leaders

Lookatmedia™ quick media pitches also provide an opportunity to promote your thought leaders. Often journalists want to interview experts on subjects to add fresh and qualified perspectives. The stories and research content you publish on your Lookatmedia™ newsroom act as an introduction to your thought leaders.
