The third event in the PA Meets series developed by PA Media and the PRCA to bring news and PR closer together took place on the 20th April – its focus was “What’s next in media disruption?”
Our sector leading panel included Will Moy, Chief Executive of the UK’s independent fact checking organisation, Full Fact; Sarah Brown, Head of News Partnerships for Northern Europe at social media platform Facebook; and PA Media’s Managing Director, Polly Curtis.
PA Media’s Bridgid Nzekwu hosted the fascinating and thought-provoking discussion about how to make a story cut through the noise and land successfully, as well as a look ahead to how emerging technologies could shape the future of media disruption.
It’s now just over a week since we hosted our first event in the new PA Meets series, “How to build your network of journalists” and we couldn’t be happier with the reaction we’ve received from attendees.
In association with leading PR body, the PRCA, PA Meets is a series of events which gives PR and comms professionals at all career levels the chance to hear from, and engage with, a range of leading figures in news and PR.
Our first event featured excellent speakers from Sky News, TfL and PA Media, and delved deep into the challenges facing PRs when establishing strong connections with the media. It also covered valuable tips and advice on selling in stories, producing effective press releases and getting stories out amidst the challenging backdrop of what has been one of the biggest newsworthy stories of the last year – the pandemic.
