Relations with traditional media, historically at the center of communication campaigns, now play an even more important role. Every business that aims to grow over time needs to intercept increasingly fragmented interest, which divides its attention between web and print, between smartphone searches and the voice of radio speakers and television journalists. A multichannel approach is the only way to guarantee maximum visibility together with the ability to make a positive influence on brand reputation.
If you want to increase your visibility in magazines and newspapers, there are two ways: buying advertising space or working on relationships, relying on press office activity to obtain editorial-type outputs. The two solutions bring opposite results as far as the the perception of readers is concerned: if the former can be considered merely advertising (and increasingly ignored), attention and trust are still given to the latter.
The voice of journalists at traditional newspapers, even on the web, together with the voice of TV and radio presenters, continues to enjoy a high level of authority in the perception of users.
