Comms Bestie Group Chat [Sept. 26, 2025]
|
Hey! |
||||
|
All the comms hoopla this week gave me a headache. Anyone else? Here's what would've made it into our group chat: |
||||
|
||||
|
🤖 The release comeback?: As president of the I Hate Press Releases Club™️, I'm wildly conflicted about PRs driving instant results in LLMs. But if it's working... ugh, maybe we should explore. |
||||
|
💌 Trend I love: Reporters sharing exactly how they want to be pitched. Today's edition: James Rundle at the WSJ breaking down his preferences. |
||||
|
📊 Good publishing news: Wired's subscriptions are up 94% YoY. Hot dog! |
||||
|
⛈️ Crisis simulation tool: Here’s a free AI Crisis Simulation GPT for you to play with. Hope it sparks ideas of how you can build hyper-specific tools just for your team. |
||||
|
📺 Currently: Watching Jimmy Kimmel's return monologue while trying not to spiral about the Pentagon's press pledge proposal. Don't publish anything not approved?! James Madison is rolling over. |
||||
|
Chat soon, |
||||
|
PS: Last week's most-clicked was Jennifer George's breakdown of Gap's response strategy. |
||||
|
PPS: Will you be in Austin for MB (Live) Oct. 27-29 or Comms Week Nov. 12-14? Reply here and let’s meet up. |
