demise of traditional media.\u00a0 But it\u2019s important not to oversimplify this equation.\u00a0 People still read newspapers (you can watch them do it at Starbucks or on the bus), listen to the radio in their cars, borrow books from the library, watch television daily, and flip through magazines at the doctor\u2019s office.\u00a0 And businesses still have to use all these media formats strategically.<\/p>\n<p>So <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vocus.com\/resources\/state-of-media\/index.asp\">2010 State of the Media: An Analysis of the Changing Media Landscape<\/a><em> <\/em>by the Vocus Research Team is well worth a download. \u00a0The report, which analyzes the status of conventional media and identifies developing trends, was discussed in a webinar recently\u2014and here are some highlights I took away from the presentation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The <strong>magazine<\/strong> sector will shrink, with some titles folding (especially in areas where there are close competitors, such as <em>Self<\/em> vs. <em>Shape<\/em>) and other titles publishing less frequently.\u00a0 There will be an increase in special editions on the print side, with digital distribution and on-demand content growing on the non-print side.\u00a0 New online magazines will continue to appear, especially in niche areas.\u00a0 <em>Takeaway:<\/em> Think beyond print when including magazines in PR strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Newspapers<\/strong> are closing fast (especially weeklies) and launching infrequently.\u00a0 Staffs and coverage are shrinking.\u00a0 If there is good news in this sector, it\u2019s not clear yet\u2014but the trend is obviously toward more integration between paper and online delivery.\u00a0 <em>Takeaway:<\/em> Everyone is overworked at papers today, so maximize the chance of getting attention by targeting pitches carefully.\u00a0 Send exactly the right story angle to exactly the right person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Cost-cutting in <strong>television<\/strong> may not be evident to the viewer, but it\u2019s definitely going on.\u00a0 And the main casualty is news.\u00a0 There\u2019s less coverage for soft news and in-depth stories, and in some areas talk shows are replacing newscasts.\u00a0 Staffers may have to manage online content as well as on-air reporting.\u00a0 <em>Takeaway:<\/em> Broaden pitches to go beyond the traditional newscast.\u00a0 Make the reporter\u2019s job easier by offering extra content (fact and images) and high-quality b-roll for online use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Radio<\/strong> has lost stations, jobs, revenue, and programming\u2014but there is still a lot of strength in this sector.\u00a0 Although listening alternatives (satellite radio, MP3s, etc.) continue to increase, the majority of adults still get the majority of their audio from broadcast radio.\u00a0 <em>Takeaway:<\/em> Keep in mind that most radio stations now have websites and podcasts, so there\u2019s a need for rich content.\u00a0 Think beyond sound bytes!<\/p>\n<p>The webinar concludes with some good general advice:\u00a0 Remember that traditional media still matters, continue to maintain relationships, provide substantive content, and stick to the tried-and-true PR principles of accuracy, timeliness and relevance.<\/p>\n<p>Vocus, by the way, is \u201ca leading provider of on-demand software for public relations management,\u201d offering a web-based software suite that not only facilitates media relations, news distribution and news monitoring, but also provides cool reporting functionality.\u00a0 They will actually reward you for <a
