Our latest white paper looks at how the brand newsroom approach has evolved, bringing together key trends in PR such as brand journalism, storytelling and real-time content marketing.
Written by digital media consultant Jon Bernstein, formerly of New Statesman and Channel 4 News, it goes beyond the buzzwords to explore the approaches that are working for today's brand communicators.
Leading communications experts such as Stephen Waddington, President of the CIPR and Ketchum's Digital and Social media Director, Will Sturgeon, Executive Director of GolinHarris, Neville Hobson, Consultant and co-presenter of the For Immediate Release podcast, and many more, provide insights into the latest trends in PR and give their advice on putting them into practice.
So what is the brand newsroom approach?
The brand newsroom approach essentially takes content marketing one step further with the communications team modelling themselves in a similar way to a traditional newspaper or broadcast newsroom in order to create and publish high quality and timely content on behalf of their organisation.
