Behind The Mic

Helen Croydon
After 15 years as a journalist working across TV news and national newspapers and magazines; as an author getting publicity for my three books; and now running my own PR agency, I know how hard it can be to get into the press!
I created this podcast, with my team at Thought Leadership PR, to give the inside track on how the media works and what makes a story. Each episode I interview a commissioning editor, producer or well-known journalist on what, when, how and whom they commission for their publication or programme.
A must-listen for PR and comms professionals, freelance journalists and individuals who want to get into the press.
If you’re a commissioning editor, producer or a journalist with a regular slot, I’d love to have you on. It WILL spare your inbox of irrelevant pitches!
