10 tips for PRs
1. Put your name in the Twitter account bio
2. Upload CC images to Flickr and have a media section on your site
3. Build relationships and participate in the conversation. RT journalists' stories
4. Tailor your pitch. A short email is best. Avoid attachments. PDFs are annoying.
5. Be targeted in your approach
6. Don't be put off if you don't hear. There are busy days and less busy days
7. Some journalists and bloggers are short of stories at Christmas
8. Use a range of platforms, such as Instagram
9. It's not all about Twitter
10. You don't need traditional news media to get your story out
