Hey, I’m Mike Russell, one of the co-founders of New Media Europe. Today is day 33 of 100 new media tools to promote New Media Europe. Did you have a good weekend? Did you party on down? I’ve got some updates for you. Before I get into the show, it’s time to do a little bit of Facebook live update the New Media Europe community as well as what’s been going on recently.
Facebook Live Benefits
Facebook live has proved to be an excellent new media tool for keeping the community up to date with exactly what’s happening with a conference. After doing the Facebook live I’ll be right back here on Snapchat to update the story about today’s new media tool which is actually an old media tool. We’re talking press releases. See you momentarily.
PR Opportunities
Hey, there. I’m back. There are 10 days to go until the online conference celebrating UK podcasters that we’re organising. 36 hours nonstop and live, no prerecords here. I’m up for the whole 36 hours. Many people who are either attending or speaking at the conference have said, “Mike, is this going to be prerecorded? Are you really up for the whole 36 hours?” I see this as a PR opportunity to access some of the traditional media, newspapers, magazines, local publications, radio, maybe even TV.
How to Write a Press Release
So dedicated to the cause of spreading the word of podcasting, you stay up for 36 hours. I love podcasting. When I think of PR I think of one person. The rather awesome Janet Murray from Soulful PR.
