Press/Media

Description

As a volunteer with Penrith and District Basketball, I pitched this story to the Emu + Leonay Gazette. This involved, making media connections, finding an angle and working with the Emu + Leonay Gazette to source the right player, quotes and images to help round out the story.

As a PR academic, it is my role to help show students how to pitch stories to the media and how the right angle can help you source a front page story.
