Tips for Improving Your Pitch to Local TV Stations – womeninpr. Many in the public relations profession feel confident and comfortable with pitching and understanding print and online publications. After all, it seems pretty straightforward, right? However, TV stations bring some more confusing elements to pitching your story. Why?
