Misinformation can be polarizing for your audience. Writers and creators are responsible for upholding their credibility. Here are three tips: 1. Fact-check credible sources such as peer-reviewed journals, digital library databases, or reputable news outlets. 2. Work on media literacy (techniques, evaluating sources for bias, understanding the ethical implications of media, and producing content). 3. Have another individual edit your work. #PR #Journalism #credibility #PRandBrandingAgency #CorporateCommunication #branding #getpromova #getnoticed

Accuracy in interactions with the media is critical. Companies who are diligent in the review and editing process will find consistent success in their PR efforts. Here are a few tips.

Anyone else notice over the past few years how our favorite digital publications are slipping in quality? Of course I mean the lack of exciting and diverse content, but there's even an increase in basic editing errors. I'm truly disappointed with how often I see poor grammar or spelling in otherwise historically credible publications (especially related to journalism) as they chase down algorithmic content rather than focusing on editorial and narrative prowess. I'd love to hear your thoughts (and selfishly validate that I'm not the only one out here frustrated by this topic)! What's the root cause? How do we fix it? How do we advocate for quality over quantity?

#Reading regularly is an indispensable #habit for a reporter, providing a foundation for excellence in journalism. As #reporters navigate the complex landscape of news, an expansive reading habit equips them with the knowledge and insight needed to produce well-rounded and accurate #stories. Firstly, reading broadens a reporter's understanding of various subjects. Whether delving into #history, #science, #politics, or #culture, every piece of knowledge can be a vital asset when covering diverse topics. This depth of understanding allows reporters to ask better questions, identify relevant angles, and provide #context that enriches their reporting. Moreover, reading sharpens #CriticalThinking and analytical #skills. By engaging with a wide range of perspectives, reporters learn to assess #information critically, distinguishing between credible sources and unreliable ones. This #skill is crucial in an era where #misinformation can easily spread. Additionally, regular reading enhances a #reporter’s writing style. Exposure to different #writing techniques, #vocabularies, and #narrative structures helps reporters refine their own #storytelling abilities, making their articles more compelling and accessible to #readers.

In today's #journalism landscape, it's crucial to reassess our approach to story formats. Research has shown that readers prefer more digestible, scannable content, yet much of our journalism still adheres to traditional written styles.

It's all about alternative formats! Think lists, Q&As, and timelines. These formats are easier to digest and keep readers hooked.

Hey LinkedIn. I have a journalism/media question: When you send pitches to editors, is it common to just send a pitch of the article (essay or opinion) or do you send the whole thing? I’ve always just sent the whole draft because I feel like editors are so busy they probably just want to see it first to decide if they’ll respond (and I’ve had some good results. I’ve published a number of pieces). But a few people have told me that’s not how you do it. A short 3-5 sentence pitch will do. (To also protect your work). Need advice from someone in the industry.

“You don't need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself” is a powerful reminder from one of the most recents books I’ve managed to read i.e. Steal Like An Artist As a freelance journalist, here’s what has caught my attention in the book: 1️⃣ Your creativity is a non-exhaustible resource: As journalists, we often face the challenge of finding fresh perspectives in our storytelling. This book reminds us that you can re-meet your creative side, whenever you really wish to. 2️⃣ Draw Inspiration from others’ work: This book specifically mentions that drawing inspiration from someone’s work is not stealing and if it is, then everyone in this world is stealing the work of someone else. Help yourself by letting others help you! (that’s the mantra) 3️⃣ Your curiosity is your biggest strength: I firmly believe curiosity is our greatest asset, regardless of our profession and this book is a perfect reminder. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who thinks they’re running out of ideas! Would you want more book recommendations?
