Top Tips for Creating a Corporate Newsroom

Our webinar with Abigail Levene and James Curtis of Stampa Communications on the Rise of the Corporate Newsroom was a huge success.

Abigail and James know what they're talking about, having introduced newsroom strategies and techniques to many successful organizations. We've distilled the main takeaways from the webinar in a handy tip sheet which is full of useful advice based on many years of invaluable journalistic insights.

Here are the top tips in short:

• Know what the corporate newsroom is
• Know why the Corporate newsroom is needed
• Become the trusted and consistent company voice
• Change your mindset and think like a journalist
• Start thinking of 'stories' not 'content
• How to tell a story
• What makes a good story
• Consider establishing an editorial board
• Seek interesting content
