“The Top Ten Public Relations Errors That Are Hazardous To The Health Of Your Media Relations”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Founder & Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group

Developing and maintaining strong healthy media relations and positive media coverage is a real challenge. Today we have a very competitive and a 24/7 information overload news environment. Your “PR Doctor” and other professionals must adapt to the increasing importance of electronic communications and related technologies to remain professional and competitive. And strategic thinking and processes to manage PR programs and campaigns have become essential.

If we use a “preventative medicine” approach to healthy media relations, we need to identify the top 10 public relations errors we want to avoid. Here are your “PR Doctor’s” top 10 public relations errors to avoid.

1. Not using a strategic thinking approach to develop a strategic public relations plan.

2. Not building and maintaining ongoing positive relationships with editors, reporters, et al within your targeted media
coverage areas.

3. Failure to maintain and update media lists to ensure up to date contact information for the media.

4. Using “form letter” or “generic email” to contact the media.

5. Failure to use “targeted” media lists when pitching journalists.

6. Not being accessible, responsive or easy to contact by journalists.

7. Failure to provide easy-to-access information for the media.

8. Duplication of contacts from your organization to the same journalists.

9. Failure to analyze and measure news coverage from your public relations efforts.

10. Failure to say thank you!

After reading the above list, do any of these errors apply to you and/or your public relations efforts? If you answered Yes, there is good news. There are “antidotes” for these errors. If you would like to learn about the remedies in the “PR Doctor’s” medicine cabinet and how to improve the health of your media relations, please contact Glenn Ebersole through his web site at www.prdoctor4u.com or by email at jgeprman@aol.com.
