About Bulldog Reporter:
Bulldog Reporter (www.bulldogreporter.com/dailydog) is a high-priced print and online subscription newsletter service that covers news and trends in the national media for a readership of top PR professionals. Our mission is to provide PR pros with actionable information on journalists, including their PR preferences and the kinds of stories, material and info they like to hear about from PR people.
About the media industry reporter position:
The reporter will research and interview journalists at top media outlets and report on the topics and info within their coverage areas as well as their preferences for receiving PR material. You will then write up the interviews into 75 to 150-word "pitching briefs" containing service-oriented, actionable and informative content.
The position requires interviewing journalists in all mediums (print, TV, radio, online and more) and across all media beats—so this is a great opportunity for a budding journalist to learn about the industry and how it operates. Because the interviews are done over the phone, excellent phone skills are required in addition to concise writing skills.
