PTA has made it a point to develop relationships with all types of print media and routinely makes placements with magazines, dailies, and news wires as well as specialized trade media of importance to a client. Special attention is paid to print placements because major broadcast bookings often result from high-profile feature articles. Feature articles quickly establish a client's credibility and greatly enhance a client's future media and marketing efforts.
Monthly Magazines
PTA works with long lead magazines in all fields, including consumer, women's, health, political, sports, entertainment and business. We know the key editors, the time frame in which to work with them and their particular interests. Often we will arrange a "NY Press Tour" for a client setting up a round of face-to-face meetings with editors in their offices. Busy magazine editors greatly appreciate this convenient opportunity to speak at length with an author or expert allowing us to literally help our clients "get their foot in the door" with major print outlets!
National Print Media
The weekly magazines, national dailies and news wires often influence and reflect the country's interests more than any other media! PTA is in daily contact with the editors at Time, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Business Week, NY Times, LA Times, The Washington Post and other major outlets lining up feature interviews, placing column mentions or op-ed pieces and lining up book reviews.
Local Dailies/Trade Media
PTA knows the local dailies inside and out as a result of our extensive road touring. We have a working relationship with all the major editors at the top 150 dailies and have an extensive database on the various writers who have covered our clients. Influential suburban papers are also targeted for placements as well as large circulation weeklies. In addition, PTA has contacts with secondary tier or trade media in a number of industries including publishing, business, health, religion, consumer, sports and others. Trade media articles often give the general media the background and angle they want on a story.
TelePrint Conference (TPC)TM
The TelePrint Conference™ is a one-hour news conference call between an author or spokesperson and reporters from around the country. The number of reporters can range anywhere from 10 to 20 on line. The TPC follows a press conference format and can be used to reach specific audiences by targeting newspaper sections, such as technology, lifestyle, book review, business, religion, women's and others.
