What Earns Media Attention: How Credibility, Trusted Sources and Storytelling Shape Coverage

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHAT: Webinar – What Earns Attention: Credibility, Sources & Storytelling

There's more content competing for attention than ever before. AI can now produce text, images, audio and video in seconds, so it's harder to tell what's credible and what deserves a closer look.

Journalists feel this challenge every day, and so do the communications teams trying to reach them.

On Oct. 29, join The Canadian Press and Notified for a live discussion on how newsrooms are evaluating stories, sources and experts today. You'll also hear how communications teams are changing their approach to earn coverage.

The panel will look at the growing role of multimedia in storytelling and why trusted, direct-from-source information still matters to journalists and communicators.

You'll learn:

• What makes a story, pitch or announcement worth paying attention to
• How newsroom expectations around sources, expertise and multimedia are changing
• Why credibility and verification now set information apart
• How journalists and communicators can work together to better inform and engage audiences

WHEN: Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. BST
