We’ve teamed up with the University of Gloucestershire’s new public relations degree course to help PR professionals of the future develop their media relations skills.
Students at the university will have access to journalist requests through our Response Source Journalist Enquiries System. This will give them real-world examples of the sort of requests journalists make so they can consider effective ways of pitching. We may also embark on some research projects with the university and will share any insights with the industry.
While I was writing the press release for this story, I did a bit of adding up and discovered over 5,000 PR professionals are receiving journalist enquiries through Response Source! If you're not already one of these call 0845 370 7777 or email sales@dwpub.com to find out how Response Source can help you get coverage.

Your link with the Universit of Gloucester confirms my view that PR training in Britain is in dire need of a shake-up, particularly the public workshops which are simply too expensive for the majority of companies. I'm set on a personal crusade and have launched the first outsourcing service for PR training in Britain at www.askddtraining.com which sets a new benchmark for the industry at an ultra low price.
