LOS ANGELES, CALIF. \u2013 Nov. 28. 2017 \u2013 <\/strong>Public Relations Global Network (PRGN)<\/a>, one of the largest international networks of independent public relations agencies,\u00a0 announced today the results of a worldwide media survey that finds increasing pressure on reporters to produce multimedia stories and perform well on social media.<\/p>\n

The survey, which polled reporters from around the globe, also offers CEOs and business leaders new details into the research that goes into reporters\u2019 vetting process when considering interview sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cPRGN\u2019s goal was to give our members and their clients the most up-to-date understanding of how reporters and bloggers go about their jobs and consider their sources,\u201d said Christina Rytter, current president of PRGN and founder of Copenhagen, Denmark-based Scandinavian Communications<\/a>. \u201cAs a result, agencies can better prepare our clients by giving them a broader appreciation for the pressures and processes that media professionals face on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, reporters still rely on past news coverage, websites and information from PR agencies as their top research tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
