Descrição
Resumo:This empirical study explores the self-perception that over a hundred Barcelona journalists have of theirrelationship with corporate communication professionals. The data stems from forty in-depthinterviews and one hundred and thirteen surveys carried out by fifty students of Journalism andCorporate Communication. The study assesses the effectiveness of different corporate and publicrelations (PR) tools, from classic press conferences to exclusive interviews, and the worst time slots forcontacting journalists, according to the experience of interviewees. The study establishes rules forcorporate communication from the perspective of journalism and sheds some light on the realities ofthe “dark side”. One conclusion is that for journalists nowadays the other side is not that dark after all.
