Pitch Perfect

内容简介

This book is intended for scholars, researchers, and academic leaders who have a passion to share their knowledge outside their classroom, laboratory, or institution; who want to make a difference; and who believe that the information they possess and ideas they offer are important for a wider public. （原文）How do you get yourself heard amid the volume of news and information in today's 24-hour news cycle, and get your message across in an environment where blogs and Twitters vie with traditional media? To break through, you need to amplify your ideas and make them relevant for a wider public audience. （原文）

"This is a remarkable work, a how-to guide to effective media relations by a pro who has seen it all and done it all. It is a brisk, entertaining tour of a largely misunderstood world and a practical and pragmatic primer on how to flourish in it. Now, instead of talking to people about the precepts of media relations, I will simply hand them this book. It is so valuable I plan on buying many copies." — Don Hale, Vice President for Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin "The book is terrific. It's a very clear, very concrete guide to virtually every aspect of dealing with the news media, right down to blogs and Twitters. But what struck me as most unusual – and potentially most valuable – is its pitch-perfect and lucid presentation of how journalists look at stories and sources, and the whole process. It's failure to understand that part of the equation that most often derails potentially effective efforts at communication between the academy and the media. With this book as a guide, that doesn't have to happen. Wonderful job." — Richard Cooper, former Deputy Bureau Chief and News Editor of the Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau."
