Press/Media

Description

As a volunteer with Penrith and District Basketball, I pitched this story to the Jordan Springs Gazette. This involved, making media connections, finding an angle and working with the Jordan Springs 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.
