On Monday we posed the question on the BraudCast YouTube Channel, “What is the best way to get in touch with a busy reporter?” Communications and public relations professionals know that it takes a well-established long-term relationship with the media in order to gain their attention. Busy reporters seem to be knocking at your door in the case of a crisis, but may be hard to reach when you want to deliver a positive press release or news conference about your organization.  Your communications colleagues weighed in on our social media accounts and I am sharing their answers in this follow-up video. Please share your comments on our social media, as well as here on the blog, and subscribe to the weekly question on the BraudCast YouTube Channel to participate each week.
