What problem does it solve? Getting press coverage is opaque and time-consuming: founders don't know which journalists to pitch, how to write a pitch that gets opened, or how to respond to inbound press requests before deadlines close. This Skill provides structured workflows for the four modes of earned media — reactive newsjacking, proactive pitching, inbound press requests, and owned press assets. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Journalist Pitching: Build a scored media list of 20–40 journalists, use six pitch templates (data story, exclusive, op-ed, customer story, trend, newsjack), and follow subject-line and follow-up etiquette rules. - Newsjacking: Detect trending stories via Google News RSS, Hacker News, and Reddit, score them with a weighted newsworthiness rubric, and generate pitch angles within the story's effective window. - Press Request Platforms: Triage HARO/Connectively, Qwoted, Featured, and Help A B2B Writer queries with a daily workflow and a sub-200-word response template optimized for getting quoted. - Media Outlet Directory: Curated lists of tech, SaaS, AI, developer, business, newsletter, podcast, and vertical press outlets with pitching notes. - Use Case: A founder sees breaking AI regulation news, runs the newsjacking scoring rubric, drafts a data-backed angle, and sends a 150-word pitch to three journalists who cover the beat — all within the story's 24-hour window. ## Quick Start Help me find journalists who cover AI developer tools and draft a pitch for our new usage data report.
