February 5, 2015 #CommsChat on the value of media relations as a skillset

This week we’ll discuss the value of media relations as a skillset with special guests @NafisaNathani and @AlexSingletonUK Here are some of the topics we’re looking to cover:

• How important are media relations skills in PR? On our road to professionalization is this skillset becoming undervalued?
• What is the most important quality a PR professional can demonstrate?
• What does it mean to be able to manage media relations?
• Publicity model of PR: What is media relations? Is it having a little black book of contacts?
• Has digital decreased the value of strong media ties?
• Do businesses invest enough in their corporate communications teams?
• In five years’ time, what will be the most important skill for any PR professionals to have under their belt?
• Content vs amplification. What is more important content or amplification or does this tension not exist?
