The first thing you learn in media training is that ‘Man bites dog’ is news but ‘Dog bites man’ is not. The idea being that if you hope to get your story or press release picked up by the media it needs to offer something different. It has to be new or exciting or in news parlance have a ‘compelling narrative’. And while this is understandable as far as it goes, it is not without risk.
