1 Know your media landscape

Before you pitch any security journalist, you need to do your homework. You need to understand the media landscape of your industry, including the publications, outlets, platforms, and influencers that cover security topics. You also need to research the specific journalists that you want to reach, including their beats, interests, preferences, and styles. You can use media relations tools and platforms, such as Cision, Muck Rack, or HARO, to find and monitor relevant security journalists and their stories.

2 Tailor your pitch

Once you have identified the security journalists that you want to contact, you need to tailor your pitch to their needs and interests. You need to show them why your story is relevant, timely, and valuable for their audience, and how you can provide them with credible sources, data, and insights. You also need to respect their deadlines, formats, and guidelines, and avoid spamming them with generic or irrelevant pitches. You can use media relations tools and platforms, such as Prezly, Prowly, or PitchEngine, to create and distribute personalized and engaging pitches to security journalists.

Crafting the perfect pitch for security journalists is an art form akin to tailoring a bespoke suit— it needs to fit perfectly, appeal to their style, and stand out in a crowd. Dive deep to discover what electrifies their audience, and then electrify your narrative with data that dazzles and insights that intrigue. Approach each journalist as a unique story-weaver, honoring their craft with pitches that respect their timeframes and tick all the right boxes for an exclusive.

3 Offer value and expertise

One of the best ways to build relationships with security journalists is to offer them value and expertise. You need to position yourself and your company as a reliable and authoritative source of information and insights on security issues, trends, and solutions. You can do this by providing them with useful content, such as white papers, case studies, reports, or webinars, that showcase your knowledge and experience in the security field. You can also offer them exclusive interviews, quotes, or comments from your security experts, or invite them to your events, webinars, or podcasts.

Journalists covering cyber or national security usually prefer specific information that is technical in nature. As they cover a very delicate topic, they are very cautious and usually limit their sources to a few confidantes. For you to be in their good books, you need to ensure the authenticity and novelty of your information.

4 Be responsive and proactive

Another key aspect of media relations is to be responsive and proactive. You need to respond quickly and professionally to any inquiries, requests, or feedback from security journalists, and follow up with them until they publish your story. You also need to proactively reach out to them with newsworthy updates, stories, or opportunities, and keep them informed of any changes or developments in your company or industry. You can use media relations tools and platforms, such as CoverageBook, CoverageReport, or PRgloo, to track and measure your media coverage and performance.

5 Build trust and rapport

Finally, you need to build trust and rapport with security journalists. You need to treat them as partners, not targets, and respect their work and time. You need to be honest, transparent, and ethical in your communication and collaboration, and avoid any conflicts of interest or hidden agendas. You also need to show appreciation and recognition for their work, and give them constructive feedback and suggestions. You can use media relations tools and platforms, such as Help a Reporter Out, JustReachOut, or JournoRequests, to find and join relevant conversations and opportunities with security journalists.
