How-To Tips: Improving Credibility in Journalism & Fighting for Your Dream Job

Today on the PR Wine Down, hosts April and Laura tackle two key issues in today’s PR industry discourse: trust in journalism and the shaky job economy. 

First, in the PR News segment, Laura shares a recap of  “Polarization and the Press” from the blog page at Stanford’s Journalism program. In the post, Janine Zacharia, Carlos Kelly McClatchy lecturer in Stanford’s Department of Communication, and Emily Handsel, a senior at Stanford studying political science, unpack 12 actionable steps that journalists can take to enhance their credibility and rebuild trust in their reporting. Tune in as April and Laura cover the highlights, and share their own reflections about what PR professionals can do to support similar trust-building practices on the PR side of the news desk. 

Also in this episode, April reads our latest Anonymous PR Horror Story submission, from a listener who was passed over for a promotion — and effectively laid off — despite being an overachiever with years of experience.
