As a PR professional, your days are filled with research, media lists, interview coordination, segment rundowns, media kits, pitches, press releases, follow-up, emails, client calls and more. What we often put last is ongoing education and learning. It needs to be a top priority, and these kickass PR newsletters are a great place to start.

Muck Rack

This should not be a surprise to anyone who follows us or Bode834 on social media. We are diehard Muck Rack fans. Here is what you can expect from their newsletter:

  • Journalism job changes: A daily digest of journalism job changes to help you make sense of the movers, the shakers and the next place to catch your friends’ and colleagues’ bylines.
  • Eavesdrop on journalists: Journalists send hundreds of thousands of tweets a day. Muck Rack finds the tweets they send and the stories they share, then quote the best ones.
  • News trends: Some pretty nutty things trend on Twitter, so they focus on topics trending among just journalists (though they can be a little nutty, too).

Spin Sucks

We are BIG fans of Gini Dietrich. BIG fans. No matter how you like to take in new information, she has it covered. We love her weekly podcast, which is between 6 to 10 minutes and is perfect for keeping a PR pro’s attention. 

The newsletter covers trends, tips, tricks, insights and more. We put into practice what we learn from the Spin Sucks community on a regular basis.

Social Media Examiner

Don’t even say it…this is an incredibly relevant newsletter for PR professionals. Social media is a major tactic for media outreach and reporters pull stories from TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and more. One of the recent newsletters touched on turning Twitter followers into newsletter subscribers, as well as utilizing TikTok as a part of your content strategy.

PR Daily

PR Daily covers all things media, PR, marketing, social media, etc. The newsletter is a great cross-section of all of these topics and drops once a day in your inbox. The emails cover trends and insights and, most importantly, PR news like what is happening in the agency world, with other professionals and more. 

These are just a few of the ones we read on a daily basis. Check out other recommendations by Muck Rack.

You also need to be subscribed to all your local, statewide and client industry publications. We get everything from Supply Chain Dive to National Sprinkler News. It’s how we stay on top of what is happening in our clients’ markets.

Need someone to tackle PR for you? You’re in the right place. Drop us a line, and we’ll chat about all things PR.

Something on Your Mind?

New Happy Hour Hustle episode out now! Kim sits down with Meredith Klein, the woman behind the iconic hat and the Substack everyone in comms actually wants to read, meredith.and.the.media. 

Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why “believe it until you achieve it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and what it takes to really own your worth.

Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith & The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She’s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She’s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her. 

Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube!

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.
