Of course, the full articles expand on the W5 and quote various sources; however, once you have the W5, you have the foundation of the story.

Media Relations Published ArticlesWhether your company has good news to share, such as an excellent safety record, or bad news, such as the leak of hazardous materials, company executives have to be prepared to talk to the media. What executives say can have a lasting impact on your business because the media helps shareholders, stakeholders, politicians and other Canadians form opinions. That’s why only designated spokespersons should talk to reporters.

An important feature when speaking is knowing who your audience is. This is one of the most vital pieces of information you need to have if you are going to be successful. However, this is not just for public speaking. With any form of advertising or marketing, you need to know your audience. I was reminded of this when my wife came home from work one day with a pen from IBM that was sent to her office. It is a $150 pen in a very nice box that was sent with a letter.

That negative meme gained traction after Ronan Farrow's The New Yorker article detailed Boies' role in trying to dig up the dirt on journalists and women who were attacking Harvey Weinstein. The message of the article was that the supposed breakthrough technology was an illusion. Bloomberg has published a long form piece positioning and packaging David Boies and his firm Boies Schiller as not sacred of the BigBad Wolf, that is, The Public Narrative.

The hard cold world of business had effectively humanized itself by leveraging symbolism related to the ordinary lives of people. In America, a universal symbol was the dream of home ownership.  Added on were the right to a college education for one's children, safe communities and a happy retirement.    That was then.  With the ongoing fragmentation of social values, financial objectives and institutional trust, no symbol remains universal.

The simple how-to article is not only click-bait.   In public relations, the specific demand is for how-to articles on social media. It can be a magnet for attracting new business.    Yes, that kind of "4 Tips for Job Interviews" may seem unsexy. After all it seems cool to be a thought leader on Salon about the state of the culture. However, information and insight on how to get things done positions and packages you as a type of expert.

For news junkies in a hurry, the Drudge Report used to be the go-to place. It had tons of curated content, continually brought up-to-date. However, a problem has developed. That's because so many media outlets are putting up paywalls. Click on, for example, today's headline on Drudge about Wal-Mart's growing troubles. The text is faded. Up pops a way to subscribe to The Wall Street Journal. How disappointing. And time-consuming.

  So, it seems misguided for a new recovery publication to request on Craigslist - Portland, Oregon Section - articles without providing payment. Two, three, or four years after having an article published in that media outlet will they perceive themselves as pawns for working for nothing? So, let's hope the creative types will steer clear of sharing their experience, strength, and hope free in article for that publication. What's not paid for has no value.

Anyone has access to books and articles. It's a level playing field for the literate. However, not everyone has access to the conversations of movers and shakers or knows how to listen in order to read between the lines.  That's why getting in on the conversation is the sweet spot in getting ahead. It's bad advice hammering the young to read read read.  Instead they should be let in on the reality of how valuable information and insight get transmitted.

If you take time to produce a detailed query letter, you will often find your lead, the beginning of your article, is in your query. It might not be exactly there, but the query will give the editor (and you) a solid idea of what the article is about and perhaps where the story begins. For instance, if you look at my dog query and compare it to the final article, you will find the two are very similar.

What you do once an editor says “yes” to your article idea can be as important as how you pitch your ideas (the query letter). After all, once the editor says, “Yes, I’d love to buy that article from you…” you move from the domain of salesperson to that of a supplier of words. Article idea. Article title for submission; the editor will usually write the headline but you can create a working title. Date your article is due to the editor.
