FAVE TOOL: New startpage for journalists combines social feeds, pitch preference and portfolio of work

Published by:

If you’re a journalist currently using tools like Rebel Mouse or About.me to aggregate your online profile, you’re missing an opportunity to include your work. That’s why Muck Rack launched a new tool that allows journalists to both share their social info and a portfolio of their best work.

Not only can journalists share their best work, but there’s a perk for public relations professionals; journalists can specify what they cover and what they don’t cover. In addition to the portfolio, journalists may choose to feature their social media accounts, awards they’ve won and a personal Muck Rack Interview.

You can include the link to your personal page in:

  • Your email signature so people pitching you can view it
  • Your blog or website under the “about” section
  • Your company’s website and/or blog (You could link to all journalists at your outlet as well.)

 

What do they look at? Check out two of my favorites, below.

Here is NPR’s Andy Carvin’s page:

 

And Huffington Post’s Craig Kanalley’s page:

Want to create your own? You must have a Muck Rack journalist account in order to create the page. You can sign up here.

Published by:

Time for your FAVE recap and mine… It’s what’s hot in tech and social.

Listen, I know you’re busy. When I first started this blog I considered making the tagline, “Putting in the man hours so you don’t have to.” I enjoy doing this research and I want to make it as easy as possible for you to always be in-the-know on all things social. If you read nothing else this week, this run down will keep your social and tech IQ above the rest. Rest easy, busy one, I’ve got your back.

Go ahead and copy and paste your favorite links and send them to your boss, co-workers, peers. They’ll remember (in case they forgot) what a rockstar you are. (Or you can always forward a copy of this post.)
