How to Ask for a Press Trip
Let’s learn to be a freelance travel writer! Are you an avid traveler? Do you want to travel for free, learning and writing about great locations? This upcoming course will cover how to ask for a press trip from public relations representatives. We’ll also cover the ethical considerations for writing articles and some best practices for approaching editors when you return. I’ll share the knowledge I’ve gained working with PR with every person learning to be a freelance writer with this information.
This course makes a great accompaniment for the upcoming book, Journalists Meet Public Relations: How We Work Together for Quality Content Without Being Phony. The concept developed over the last few years as I took trips and sampled products, even spoke with experts to round out my articles. I found a need, in both communities, for a frank discussion on working together. I’m excited to publish this book and speak at more conferences.
While the course isn’t open to the public yet, you can sign up for my newsletter to receive more information on working with PR in a way that won’t impact your journalism.
