Hello hello! It’s Steph here! I’ve taken over Dan’s usual Thursday spot while he enjoys a break. We’re doing something different this week… a good ol’ fashioned Q&A.

I thought I’d answer a few questions about the nuts and bolts of how I prefer to receive pitches, what topics I’m most interested in currently and how to make visit work best for me.

I dive a bit into how video has changed my reporting and a bit about how to make Sunday for Monday stories for for me.

I’d suggest all comms pros ask journalists these sorts of questions when you have a chat with them over lunch or coffee. Every reporter has their own way of doing things but if you understand how they work or their preferences, you’re on your way to a better relationship!
