Key pitching takeaways from Mark Alyn on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• When pitching journalists, make it newsworthy not an ad.
• Don’t pitch yourself. Having a publicist means you’ve been vetted.
• Make it easy for the journalist - they are often overworked and underpaid.
• Pick up the phone and pitch journalists so they can hear your voice.
• Present your pitch like a natural conversation, not a scripted recitation.
• After emailing a pitch, call and leave a message.
• Tailor your pitches—don't send finance stories to health reporters.
