public-relations skillA

public-relations is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Plans and executes earned media — press strategy, journalist outreach, announcements, commentary, and crisis response. Use this to plan a press push, write a pitch or release, find and approach the right journalists, prepare for an interview, decide whether something is newsworthy, or respond to a story going badly..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Public relations

## Newsworthy is a high bar

Most company news is not news. Before pitching, find the actual story — the thing a journalist's
readers would care about with your company removed from the sentence.

Genuinely newsworthy: a first, a significant number, a counter-intuitive finding from data you
uniquely have, a named conflict, a consequential person moving. Not newsworthy: a funding round of
ordinary size, a feature release, a partnership, an award, a rebrand.

If there is no story, the answer is to build one — original research is the most reliable way — not
to pitch harder.

## Pitching

Journalists receive hundreds of pitches a day and reject most in seconds.

- **Pitch a person, not an outlet.** Read three of their recent pieces first and reference one
  specifically and accurately. Generic personalization is worse than none.
- **Subject line is the pitch.** If it does not carry the story, nothing else will be read.
- **Three sentences**: the story, why now, why you can speak to it. Offer the assets — data,
  interview, images — rather than attaching them.
- **No embargo without agreement.** Declaring one unilaterally is not binding and reads as
  presumptuous.
