What makes a good news story?
How do I know if a news or features writer would be interested in my story, organization, business, or event?
What is the difference between “earned” media and advertising? Which one is better for me?
Many people who are tasked with getting out the word about events, happenings, and information about their businesses ask these kinds of questions all the time.
When looking for answers it pays to hear about what makes a good story from the editors and publishers of three media organizations in Prince William County.
On Wednesday, Nov. 18 Â from 8:30 to 10 a.m., please join us for a special edition of 1 Million Cups Prince William — “1 Million Cups Meets the Media.”
