How it works

We start the morning with three Q&A panels that put the spotlight on media. Nic pulls back the curtain on how the media works, with a lively and relaxed discussion that answers all the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask a journalist.

From what time to pitch a story, to what time a breakfast radio presenter’s alarm goes off, you’ll get to know the schedule of the people behind your favourite news and entertainment media and what they’re looking for in a story.

The second half of the event is devoted to round-table introductions and pitching. Attendees have a seat at the table with the media from panel sessions, and they each have an opportunity to introduce themselves, pitch their stories and expertise directly to media.

It’s not uncommon for media to tell you on the spot that they want your story. We’ve had attendees on leading breakfast radio and television the day after #MeetTheMedia. If your expertise is sought after and your story is cracking, you’ll leave with a plethora of contacts and priceless face-to-face connections.

Coffee and tea and light refreshments are provided at the scheduled morning tea break at every event.

#MeetTheMedia TESTIMONIALS

 Chris Bendall
Chris BendallSeries Producer, The Project
"85% of pitches I receive are not usable… If content comes in through Media Stable, we already know it’s been filtered, we already know there’s a gatekeeper there, and it is more likely to be something I’m interested in."

“As a busy journo and producer dealing with email explosion and staffing pressures, the days of one-on-one coffee catch ups seem well and truly over. Meet The Media provided an instant – and efficient! – burst of new contacts and ideas, many of which have resulted in stories and op-eds on WAtoday,”

“Media Stable's #MeetTheMedia day was not only a fantastic opportunity for businesses and PRs to learn how to hone their pitch to ensure their story is heard, but it also provided valuable contacts, and story leads for the publications I work on. A win-win situation!”
James Lake

“Media Stable will blow you away with how well it's #MeetTheMedia events are run. I'm a little biased having been a guest on their media panel before - but even as a member of the media I have also learned so much by meeting and hearing from industry colleagues. If you're managing communications for your organisation, these opportunities are invaluable - to literally get to sit down with content decision makers in the media and have them help shape your story so it can reach their audience and yours.”

“If I could give six stars, I would! Media Stable stands out with their unmatched experience and dedication. Their focus on journalism, news, and seamlessly connecting talent to the right platforms is exceptional. Our program regularly works with them, and we highly recommend reaching out. The #MeetTheMedia event is also fantastic, offering an invaluable opportunity for media professionals and industry experts to connect across various sectors. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
