Is this the quarter (much less year) that small and big business bounce back? How about business media? The economy is still on everybody's mind as the markets vacillate and small business tax credits debated—and companies are still struggling to earn their fair share of valuable press in a news hole dedicated to little else. With increased competition for coverage, scoring golden ink, airtime or pixels in the nation's most influential business outlets—from broadcast mainstays like CNN and top titles like Entrepreneur and Fast Company to popular business blogs—for your company's news or CEO is no easy task. The good news: While the bar for coverage is set high—you can learn what it takes to break into leading business media firsthand by joining Bulldog Reporter's PR University as we convene a rare, exclusive panel of top editorial gatekeepers from several of these venerable media properties. This panel of no-nonsense, by-the-numbers media insiders will walk you step by step through a practical pitching regimen designed to give you, your client or company the edge it needs to secure valuable column inches, air time or digital ink in top-tier, holy grail business media in these trying times. What's more: Our panel will outline the top business stories, trends and developments they expect to be covering in the weeks and months ahead—and outline how you can become part of these developing stories at a time when every column inch helps to build credibility and communicate confidence to your consumers and publics.
