We have a new DWPub blog. It will be made up of a combination of posts from myself and the fantastic DWPub team who spend much of their time talking to the PR, marketing and journalism community.
I'm not sure what will become of the DWPub Sporadic, which has been a personal venture of mine since 2005. We'll see.
In the meantime head on over to the DWPub blog.
Updated guest list as of 16:00 11 December 2012
Here's the guest list for this year's SourceWire Christmas Press Party at the Cheshire Cheese on London's Fleet Street. We have over 300 journalists registered so far, the below are the ones who have agreed to appear on the public list. For a bit of background on this event check out my post from 2008!
For the first time this year the informal tech journo and PR group TechJPR (formerly UKTJPR) will be running their Xmas party straight after the SourceWire party at a nearby venue. We're also sponsoring this event which is open to PR professionals as well as journalists. It promises to be a great day.

We've been hard at work over the last few months developing the latest addition to the DWPub Media Suite - SourceWire News Distribution Newsrooms.
Our newsroom service offers brands and PR agencies an easy to manage online newsroom that combines press releases, pictures and other collateral with social media feeds. We could see that PR and marketing professionals wanted newsrooms that were simple to create and maintain but could also be customised to properly reflect their own branding, so that's what we built.
I think every brand should have a good online newsroom which combines traditional press material with social media feeds such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Online newsrooms, or social media newsrooms, support modern PR practice which reaches beyond journalists to bloggers, other influencers and stakeholders and indeed consumers also.
By having media material all in one place in a simple to navigate online newsroom ensures that journalists and other people interested in your brand can find content easily and make contact, either by traditional or social channels.
Our newsroom service integrates closely with SourceWire News Distribution so you get the benefit of distribution to our extensive media community every time you upload a press release. Everyone who distributes a press release through SourceWire News Distribution gets a free Standard Newsroom. You can upgrade to a Custom Newsroom, with enhanced customisation and social integration, or go a step further to a Hosted Newsroom that appears on your own internet domain.
It is of course possible to build an online newsroom from scratch or to base it on a blogging platform such as Wordpress. However, both of these options require sigficant development and maintenance effort. A SourceWire News Distribution Newsroom cuts out this overhead and enables PR professionals to concentrate on publishing material through their newsroom without the need for development skills or an IT department.
We're not first to market with newsrooms - you can get them elsewhere - but our objective is to provide all the best elements of a social media newsroom backed up by a British company with 15 years experience of working closely with the media community.
See the press release (in our newsroom, of course!)
We’ve launched a mobile version of the FeaturesExec Media Database today, a development which I'm particularly pleased with.
The idea behind m.featuresexec.com is to give users a streamlined experience of the main FeaturesExec website, with easy access to media contact, media outlet and forward features information, plus some additional functions.
It’s primarily a reference tool, offering the sort of capability that PR professionals on the move would require but without the complexity of the full-blown FeaturesExec Media Database which would be largely pointless on a smartphone.
We decided to go for the mobile website route rather than building an app as it is by far and away the most efficient way to offer mobile capability to the widest audience without the huge development overheads of producing separate apps for iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
We’ve taken cues from app design and the site has an app-like feel and ease of use.
PR professionals can now look up media outlets, journalists and forward features from their smartphone and, depending on the capability of their device, can make calls, send emails and input addresses into mapping applications direct from FeaturesExec mobile.
Check out the FeaturesExec Mobile press release.
The opportunity to support a local athlete in an Olympic Games on home turf does not crop up that often and this is why we're very proud to be sponsoring London 2012 hopeful Jade Nicholls.
Jade's sport is the discus, the classic Olympic discipline, and despite being a young and up-and-coming athlete she already has noteable achievements under her belt – such as British champion for the last two years and the UK indoor discus record.
Our sponsorship will help Jade make the maximum use of the last few months of training before the games in July.
You can track Jade's progress on her blog, and you can see our press release here.
Jade is also sponsored by Tudor Wholesale Foods.
We recently discovered a company taking journalist requests from our ResponseSource Enquiry Service and selling subscriptions to receive them.
Clearly this is bad for our business but the greatest concern is that it is unpopular with our journalist community. Journalists and bloggers take confidence in the knowledge that their enquiries are going to our established customer base of PR professionals with which we have a close relationship and are not being redistributed beyond this group.
We've asked the individual behind this venture to stop republishing ResponseSource enquiries and it appears this request has been heeded.
I have to say in 15 years of DWPub I have never been put in such a position and it's really not in my company's culture to be confrontational or litigious. This is why I have not identified the individual or the company here.
I'd like to take this opportunity to confirm a couple of things with our community of journalists, bloggers and PR professionals.
We do not have any relationships with third party organisations for the republication of ResponseSource Enquiry Service content
ResponseSource Enquiry Service subscriptions are for the purposes of conducting PR campaigns and persistent forwarding or republication of requests is excluded in our Ts & Cs
The ResponseSource Enquiry Service has been extraordinarily successful and continues to grow. It takes significant resources to manage the service and I'm very proud of the hard work my team put into ensuring it works for both journalist and PR users. Ensuring subscriptions are not abused is part of this work. The ResponseSource Enquiry Service is quite open and we really don't want to lock it down and make life harder for everyone.
We introduced a few changes to the ResponseSource Enquiry Service today. These are a new preferences interface for recipients and a clearer format on the email enquiries themselves.
We've offered filtering on enquiry and media type for a long time but now you can set this up yourself and change it at will.
The new format should make the enquiries easier to read and enables us to embed useful links in the text. It's all about making it easier to identify and respond to the media enquiries most relevant to you.
While on the subject of ResponseSource here's a few facts and tips on the service (many thanks to Dan Griffiths for compiling this):
We handle over 25,000 requests per year through all categories - this equates to over 100 requests per working day
The DWPub server processes around 50 million individual ResponseSource emails each year
All enquiries are moderated by the FeaturesExec Media Database research team
Established in 1998. Volumes grown every year
Used by trade, consumer, daily and regional press to request info. Serves both ‘old’ and ‘new’ media
The first line of about two-thirds of the requests appear on the ResponseSource Twitter feed
We supply over 120 of the top 150 pr agencies (the gaps tend to be the larger public affairs and city specialist agencies where RS not so relevant)
To get a good result from journalist pitches be brief, be direct, and be on-topic
If an enquiry is irrelevant, you can just delete the email and don't have to worry about helping the journalist
Improve email feed relevance with personal category selection and preferences such as filters and blacklists
Here's a live journalist enquiry volume graph
It was a therapeutic experience producing our recent piece in B2B Marketing about brand consistency where we discussed the introduction of the DWPub Media Suite among other things.
Our re-brand, which was implemented in a 'big-bang' last September after about a year in the planning, was a major project for us. Reading about it (yes, reading rather than writing, I confess that the first draft of the article was written by our PR team) helped me appreciate what we have achieved.
Thinking back on it the whole process was a heady mix of stress and enlightenment. I'm very happy with the results, I must admit what appeared to be a project about logos and strap-lines actually turned out to be as much about strategy. We now have a much clearer idea - internally as well as externally - of what DWPub is all about.
People may sometimes mock branding excercises, but done well they can really contribute to a business at every level.
Following on from the debate triggered by the increasing use of the ResponseSource Enquiry Service by bloggers, we've started to tighten-up the moderation of the service.
We're doing this in response to feedback from our PR customers, who fund the service and who scan the hundreds of enquiries each week (often well over 100 a day) to see if they can help.
Below is a bit of background on the service and a list of things we look for in blogs when considering whether we are able to release requests. The latter are also useful as general guidelines for any blogger wanting to increase their audience.
I want to stress that we're always reviewing our approach to this and are keen to consider thoughts from bloggers and the PR community about how we can do this better.
Background
ResponseSource is primarily intended as a resource for journalists and professional media to seek information from PR professionals. PR professionals subscribe to the service to help them obtain effective media coverage for their clients.
Requests from bloggers are welcome and of course in most cases they are legitimate and represent valuable opportunities for PR professionals. But the volume of blogs that want to use ResponseSource has grown significantly and we have be sure we meet the needs of our subscribers for requests from quality, established blogs reaching a relevant audience.
Our aim is always to maintain the effectiveness of the service in the long-term for both the PR subscribers who pay for the service and also the media - including bloggers as well as journalists and broadcasters - who use it to source content. We therefore must reserve the right not to distribute any request which we feel is inappropriate for our subscribers. Due to the high volume of enquiries, we may not always be able to provide a full reason to the submitter, although we will try to contact submitters and discuss requests if we are able to help.
Blog 'qualities'
To help submitters decide if ResponseSource is suitable before submitting a request, below is a non-exhaustive list, not in any particular order, of some qualities we consider in a blog:
Frequency and regularity of posts - generally more than once a month, and preferably one or more a week. We're looking for clear dates so we can see your blog is thriving
Variety of content - if your blog is mainly about product reviews, competitions and giveaways, it may not be suitable to our audience. Too many "personal" posts may also be inappropriate
High standard of design and language - this could be anything from spelling and grammar to fonts, image size and quality, and page layout. We're looking at your blog as a reader would - it needs to impress from the first click on to your home page
Clear focus and/or audience - eg do you concentrate on food, fashion, technology, or for a specific audience eg young men, over 60s, finance professionals? Whatever the target audience, consistency is all
Experience and qualifications - are you blogging about something you do as a profession, or are you an enthusiast about your topic? Add this to your about page - it will make it easier for passing visitors to get a feeling for you as an author
Viewing figures (traffic reports, normally 'unique visitors' per month) should ideally be freely available or offered on request, and if you submit a ResponseSource enquiry you'll need to provide these in each request
Well established - we and our subscribers are wary of newly established blogs and in the early days of your blog we may not be able to distribute your requests. If we say no to begin with, come back in a couple of months and we will be happy to review it
Comments from visitors - we're looking for quality as well as quantity. People engaging with your content demonstrate you have an audience
Transparent - is your full name and contact details shown on the 'about' or 'contact' pages? Blogs that are transparent about the people behind them engender more trust
In addition to considering the above we also look at the requests themselves, as a poorly constructed or vague media request makes it difficult for recipients to decide it if it is worthwhile responding. Clearly written, specific requests always work better.
Hopefully the above gives you some idea of the criteria we use to measure the quality of a blog. Like I have said, we're on a learning curve with this and welcome input from both bloggers and PRs to refine these guidelines.
We have unveiled our new branding today.
During nearly 15 years of business our branding has developed in a fairly ad-hoc fashion. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride and there always seemed to be more important things to do than looking at how the business presents itself as a whole.
So we thought it was time to freshen things up a bit.
What you will see is not a radical change, but we have simplified and refreshed things. Perhaps the most obvious change is that we are now using DWPub instead of Daryl Willcox Publishing, the latter was a bit of a mouthful and DWPub already well recognised - dwpub.com has been our web address almost since the beginning. You also see that each service is now branded in a more consistent way. (See the press release.)
But this project, which has been about a year in the making, is more than just about new logos and better choice of words. We've done a lot of work on making it easier for people to discover the full breadth of what we do, and navigate more easily between services.
Speaking to customers, we found that some did not realise the full range of what we do. Although our individual services were well known, it was not always understood how they were related. Thus the inspiration behind this project, to bring our products closer together from a branding perspective. From this was born the DWPub Media Suite, a 'collective' brand that serves to present our main services as a whole.
Ultimately I hope this helps all of our community of journalists, PR professionals, bloggers, marketing people and small business owners understand how we are working to make media communications easy.
I'd just like to end on a tribute to my team. Although more of an evolution than a revolution, this project has touched all parts of the business. Every member of the team here has been involved - some more than others, and everyone has played their part with great enthusiasm, often while working under considerable pressure, and I'm proud to have such a great bunch of people working with me.
