Today’s a day for some workaday counsel in PR techniques. From the CyberAlert media monitoring site, we have “14 Top Media Pitching Tips for Public Relations Pros,” including “Get the basic right (like spelling)” and “Do most of the work for reporters.”

Next, from Boomm marketing and communications, are some pretty savvy reporter pitching tips, like understanding the reporter you're contacting.

And ever-helpful Business 2 Community supplies “Public relations rules to follow from A to Z”. You wouldn’t want to call a reporter if he doesn’t want to be called, would you?
