Finally, it is important to understand that the relationship with the media is not a one-way street. Journalists and media also need quality content for their publications. Make sure you offer relevant, high-quality content that can be useful to the journalist and their readers.

Regarding the frequency of contact, it is important to maintain a regular relationship, but without being annoying or annoying. Send updates and information regularly, but don't overdo it. Maintain a friendly and respectful tone, avoiding being pushy.
