Atricle Dump - Selling Stories to the Media-Five Points to Consider
Power Teams work well when there is an element of trust and integrity. Holding the information for a project is certainly one of those areas where trust is prominent. No one should own the information but all need to have unlimited access to it. Even then, the information needs to be stored and there should be only one or two administrators that look after it. This may seem like a lot of work but the o

You must have done an awesome job with your resume and cover letter, because you got the call — they want you to come in for an interview. How do you wow them in person after wowing them on paper? Follow these helpful hints for making the most of your first impression.DO arrive on earlyIn fact, give yourself an extra 30 minutes of travel time, even more if you’re not taki
These are some key points that I gathered from my interactions with the scribes over the years:
1. The quality of the story peg - Wherever you go and whichever media we pitch to, it is a good story that sells. What makes a good story peg are relevancy, topicality, and how useful will the story be to the business community and/or newspaper readers. When we offer a good story to a journalist, not only are we helping ourselves but also the journalist in getting a byline or maybe to the front page. For instance, if you give an exclusive to a young journalist, you are helping him/her get noticed in the market and among his/her peers and he/she will remember you for that.
2. Relationship with the journalist - A good relationship with the journalist opens doors quickly for you. This empowers you to call the journalist on his/ her mobile phone, or at odd times occasionally and he/she will forgive you for it. Relationship alone however doesn't work always. We cannot be good friends with a journalist and expect him/her to do a story for us every time. That's mixing personal and professional matters and nobody appreciates that in the long run.

When hosted CRM was first introduced, concerns were voiced about its drawbacks: the lack of customization, integration with other applications, support, third party storage, control over data control and the performance of service reps - not to mention the all-important security issue.

3. Knowing what the journalist writes on - We are not only talking about knowing what particular beat a journalist writes on, but also his/ her writing style, the type of issues he/she picks up in that particular beat, the angles that he/she gives to his/her stories. Let's take an IT journalist in say The Economic Times for example. We can study which IT vertical he/she writes on predominantly, does he/she concentrates more on consumer technology or B2B technology? If he/she writes a column, what is the theme that connects the last five stories in that column? Does he/she writes for the ET weekday paper but also writes for The Sunday ET edition? Does he/she concentrates more on exclusives, interviews, personal profiling, or industry stories? Are his/her stories more of fact reporting or does he/she tend to put in his/her opinions into his/her stories?
4. Industry knowledge - Often when we pitch supposedly-new-industry-trend-stories to a journalist, he/she knows about it already.

When we have a good knowledge of the industry and our clients and can figure out ourselves correctly what makes new
