Most small business owners think earning media coverage is about luck or having the right connections. The truth? It's about understanding that journalists are humans with preferences, deadlines, and pet peeves—and treating them accordingly. PR maven Nancy Marshall has spent 35 years building relationships with journalists, from local Maine reporters to Al Roker from the Today Show. Her approach isn't about flashy pitches or aggressive follow-ups. It's about showing up consistently, being genuinely helpful, and remembering that every journalist operates differently.
