Future of PR: The End of Beats, Print Monitoring and PR as We Knew It

In this week’s episode of the PR Wine Down podcast, April and Laura discuss recent seismic shifts in the practice of the PR profession through the lens of two seasoned media strategists.

First, your favorite hosts discuss an excerpt from the Substack newsletter The Sword and the Script, about recent changes in print media monitoring and sentiment analysis. In this segment, April and Laura discuss Burrelles’ decision to retire its print monitoring services, PRophet’s integration of new Google AI models, and Meltwater’s newest AI features.

In the “What’s Up on Reddit?” segment, April and Laura read a post from one user who is lamenting the decline of dedicated beat reporters at many publications, in favor of employing generalists as news organizations continue to downsize. Tune in for a discussion about how PR practitioners can adapt and identify new media opportunities for clients in niche industries.
