AI in media relations

How to use artificial intelligence profitably in your PR practice

This training is held in German.
Media work is successful when journalists are offered topics that are relevant and exciting for the readers of their medium. This is not always easy in an everyday life full of to-do lists. Artificial intelligence supports you exactly where you need it - in researching, finding topics and creating texts. In this workshop, you will learn how to use AI tools specifically for efficient media and press work. You will practise how to submit individual topic offers to media representatives and write effective texts. In addition, you will learn where you as a person remain indispensable in order to sustainably improve your contacts with journalists.
