Pitching

TL;DR: The craft of proposing story ideas to journalists in a way that earns coverage.

What is Pitching?

Pitching is the craft of proposing story ideas to journalists in a way that earns coverage — concise, tailored to the reporter's beat, anchored in news value or data, and respectful of their inbox. Quality of pitching is the single biggest variable separating effective from ineffective PR programs. Pitching quality is where Crackle PR earns its rate — senior operators with 15+ year beats writing tailored, news-anchored pitches, not the batch-and-blast form emails that got PR's inbox reputation to where it is now.
