Most PR professionals seem to agree that media relations just gets harder every year. In 2018, 51% of respondents said media relations is getting harder, according to the annual JOTW Communications Survey, that I’ve partnered with Ned Lundquist and Ned’s Job of the Week newsletter to field. In 2019, that number jumped 17 points to 68%. The 2020 survey results aren’t out yet – but will be soon – and that number is going up again.

Knowing who you pitched, when, and what the response was will help you in the future in learning what types of pitches resonate with the media.
