"There’s a reason the result of media relations is called “earned media.” PR professionals like Yolanda who are successful at getting clients media coverage really do earn it. Yolanda achieves because she approaches every project as a journalist – inquisitive, detailed and thorough. She gathers the elements journalists may need for their work, and they notice that preparation. When her pitching begins, stories are ready to go, clients can be responsive and journalists can meet deadlines.”
