PR89707
HONG KONG, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
This extended version includes additional data and insights from journalists in
7 markets across APAC.
With a seemingly infinite supply of crises, 2020 made an indelible mark on
newsrooms around the world with a host of challenges that continue to influence
the media today – from editorial strategies and work behaviors to what they
want and expect from PR professionals.
To provide deeper insight into the current media landscape and how PR teams can
be better partners to journalists going forward, PR Newswire's parent company,
Cision has released its much-anticipated 2021 Global State of the Media Report
(APAC Edition) [
] today. The report is chock full of emerging trends you can't afford to
ignore, best practices for an evolving normal and "aha" moments you can act on
quickly.
This is Cision's 12th annual study and is based on a survey of more than 2,800
journalists in 19 markets* around the world from February 1 to March 1, 2021.
In additional to providing a global overview, the report's APAC edition offers
deeper insights into today's media landscape in the region, which spans
Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The report features:
- Top challenges impacting the media today
- Technology's influence on the way journalists evaluate stories
- The types of stories journalists are looking for this year
- Best and worst days and times to pitch and follow up
- Fastest ways to get on a journalist's "block/don't call" list
- Inside tips to build and maintain successful partnerships with journalists
Key Findings:
- Journalists' views on public trust in the media have steadily improved over
the last five years, but the challenge continues. More than half (53%) of
journalists feel the public lost trust in the media over the last year, down
from 59% in Cision's 2020 survey.
- Journalists are both overwhelmed and underwhelmed by pitches. PR pros need to
build highly targeted media lists. More than 1 in 4 journalists (27%) receive
over 100 pitches per week with most ending up in the virtual trash due to
irrelevance. And, contrary to popular belief, a sizeable percentage say they
like receiving pitches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
- Journalists want PR pros to help make their jobs easier. Nearly half of
journalists cover 5+ beats and file 7+ stories per week. They're looking for
press releases (according to 78%) and original research (68%) along with
multimedia elements (photos, videos, etc) and invites to interview experts or
attend events.
- PR pros need to anticipate, monitor and quickly act on trending stories. With
increased competition for eyeballs, journalists are closely assessing whether a
story idea has the "it factor" that will translate into traffic and social
shares (and ultimately ad revenue).
- PR pros should avoid pushing journalists' biggest buttons. Spam, pitches that
sound like marketing brochures, lack of transparency and following up
repeatedly are among the top pet peeves for journalists.
"The global media landscape is evolving in the face of highly fragmented, 24/7
news consumption, shrinking newsrooms and the influx of non-traditional
influencers," said Maggie Lower, Chief Marketing Officer for Cision.
"After a year like no other, the partnership between the media and PR pros –
and the technologies they use to develop and distribute content – are becoming
even more critical. PR teams who are not actively using data intelligence and
newswires to guide and promote their campaigns are at risk of falling behind as
they compete to have their stories heard."
PR Newswire will be hosting a 2021 State of the Media webinar in late June.
Hear from journalists across APAC on how they are adapting to a fast-changing
media landscape. They will also share tips on how PR pros can be a useful
resource for their work in the new normal. Details of the webinar will be
shared on the PR Newswire website here
