The fourth estate is one of the oldest and most powerful methods for disseminating a message and generating brand awareness.


Along with the sizable reach of many media outlets, the power of news lies in its objectivity. Unlike advertising, proper media coverage is generated by objective third parties, thereby infusing additional credibility into the reporting. Generally, the public trusts the media (or at least their chosen outlets) much more than they do advertisements. Effective media relations involves thoughtfully equipping contacts with a narrative that is a faithful representation of the organization, increasing the chances that objective coverage will still be on-message.
