I used to run the Guardian Masterclass 'What journalists want: A masterclass for PRs, marketers and business owners', a three-hour session explaining the importance of storytelling and thinking creatively when it comes to securing media coverage.

I also host my ‘Lessons From a Journalist: How To Secure Media Coverage’ webinars and hold workshops across the UK.

Contact me here if you’d like to know when I’ll run the next one.

For convenience, I have also created two separate online videos 'Lessons from a Journalist: How to Secure Press Coverage' which focus on what journalists look for in a story and how to pitch a journalist (and are packed with valuable insider info) and you can watch when suits you.
