Heard of it?
#journchat is a conversation between journalists, bloggers and PR folks conducted over the microblogging service Twitter.
The conversation happens every Monday from 9 PM to midnight PST. The moderator, a publicist named Sarah Evans, poses a new question every 30 minutes.
Some example questions:
What is the best way to pitch assignment editors? Tips?
Is the press release dead/dying? If yes, then what? What's next?
What do journs and bloggers think about the social media release?
What is the biggest myth about your profession?
You can see how such a dialogue would be helpful for publicists to follow!
The work of journalists and publicist is intertwined, and it's valuable to have an anonymous dialogue where all can freely post questions and answers. Constructive criticism and “brutal facts” are encouraged!
Want to participate? Log into Twitter at 9PM on Monday and check out Twitter.com/journchat to find out the night's questions. Then go to search.twitter.com and search #journchat. If you'd like to add to the discussion, you can tweet your comment and write #journchat to tag it so that others can read it.
