The context of this situation that I am a Public Relations director at Durable Tires Inc. a tire manufacturing company in Rhode Island. Durable Tires Inc. is hosting “car show” celebrating their 50 years of excellent service to the community. As Public Relations director it is my responsibility to write a media pitch to local news outlets. The goal of the Media Pitch is the get the editor(s) of local papers to write a story about the event at hand. The story’s goal is to create good publicity for Durable Tires Inc. and to increase their exposure to potential readers. This tactic is the most useful because it allows for less work on the journalists part, making it more likely that they would run the story.
