How Journalists Find Stories In 2026 26.09.2026 11นาที

In this episode of Public Relations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dissect the shifting mechanics of media discovery. With Episode 200 exploring how journalists find stories, we go deeper into the specific behavior changes happening right now in September 2026.

Using examples from recent fintech and SaaS coverage, we break down how to structure outreach so it lands on a journalist's desk as a resource, not an advertisement. This is essential listening for PR professionals trying to navigate an algorithm-driven news cycle. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PublicRelations #EarnedMedia #MediaOutreach #Journalism #PRStrategy #MarketingTips #NewsCycle #ContentStrategy #B2BMarketing #Storytelling #PressReleases #DigitalMedia #BrandVisibility #CommunicationSkills #TechIndustry #SaaSMarketing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
