Get Published Challenge

We all depend on the news media to help us make decisions for ourselves, our families, our schools, our planet, and our communities. But when 6 in 10 newsroom employees are male, and 77% of journalists are white, those of us from historically marginalized groups face an uphill climb. 

We have to work twice as hard and be twice as smart to help decision makers trust us as experts and consider us as expert sources. That’s why it’s so helpful to have a squad in your corner, like you will through this five-day challenge. What You’ll LearnEach day, you’ll learn about:

• What counts as “thought leadership” and why personal branding is increasingly important when seeking to grow your business or career, particularly if you are the boss. 
• How to get started sharing your unique insights and expertise, including how to identify the right news outlets that will be interested in sharing your article. 
• How to generate topic ideas and our five-part formula for outlining publishable guest articles.
• How editors make publishing decisions, how they like to be pitched, and the five big no-nos that will lead your emails to be marked as spam or blocked altogether.
