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!
If you fancy yourself as a thought-leader and want to raise your personal profile, check out Thought Leadership PR.

Don’t worry, we don’t send newsletters regularly, but when we do it’s to share brilliant tips on pitching to the media or to flag up a particularly worship-able guest. There may also be the odd discount on PR or publicity workshops and talks.
