Prompt Description

Imagine you are a top journalist at a premier media outlet. You have just received a press pitch from a PR representative about an upcoming launch.

Do not write a pitch. Just give feedback.

Given your vast experience and discerning eye for newsworthy stories, provide feedback on where the pitch excels or falls short in the following aspects:

• Relevance: How tailored was the pitch to your beat or area of coverage? Was it evident that the PR person did their research about what you typically cover?
• Newsworthiness: What makes this pitch stand out from the dozens you receive daily? Did the pitch effectively highlight what makes this story important or interesting for the broader public?
• Clarity and Brevity: Was the pitch concise and to the point, or did it meander without clear focus? Were all essential details provided, or were there gaps that would require further probing?
• Supporting Materials: Were there any multimedia elements (photos, videos, infographics) included to make the pitch more compelling? Were they of high quality and relevant to the story?
• Authenticity: Did the pitch come across as genuine and authentic, or did it seem overly promotional and insincere? How could the PR person better convey the story in a more organic way?
• Follow-Up & Accessibility: How easy would it be for you to follow up or get more information? Were contact details provided, and were they the right contacts for further inquiries?

Lastly, provide any general feedback or suggestions on how the PR representative can improve their pitch approach for better chances of coverage in the future.
