42: Pitch a Local News Segment with Ken Molestina
In this episode, we speak with seasoned TV reporter, Ken Molestina, who has reported from news stations all across the country. We focus on his real estate segment, but quickly dive deeper beyond the basic tips and get a good look at the current state of the local newsroom, despite the ever-evolving media landscape he’s actively navigating. You’ll also catch a glimpse of what a real working relationship looks like between Ken and Jackie, including some real segments where Jackie had to be particularly scrappy in order to land those placements.
In this Episode You’ll Learn...
What a franchise piece is (& why publicists should care)
What short-staffed newsrooms and fast deadlines mean for publicists (same-day interviews are here to stay)
How to be a scrappy publicist (& never lose an opportunity again)
