Newsjacking

TL;DR: Inserting your brand or executive commentary into a breaking news cycle in real time.

What is Newsjacking?

Newsjacking is the practice of inserting your brand or executive commentary into a breaking news cycle in real time — typically within hours — to ride existing media momentum. Done well, it earns coverage in stories that are already being written. AI tooling has made the monitoring and response loop dramatically faster. Crackle PR runs rapid newsjacking against breaking category stories — cybersecurity breaches, AI policy moves, funding-market shifts — with client execs staged for commentary and reporters contacted within hours, not days.
