PR's Guide to Working with Automotive Journalists

Cision’s State of the Media Report has served as the voice of journalists for public relations and corporate comms professionals for more than a decade.

Every year we survey thousands of reporters to find out what they want and need from their PR partners. In 2024, for the first time, we’re examining the State of the Media by sector, zeroing in on the behaviors and perspectives of journalists and media influencers who cover different industries.

Of the 3,000+ respondents, nearly 300 identified as Automotive & Motorcycle journalists. With that in mind, we examined the data to look at the specific challenges and implications for the PR professionals seeking to work with automotive reporters.

The 2024 State of the Media Report: Automotive Edition covers:

  • Automotive journalists’ biggest challenges and priorities
  • The most effective channels for reaching automotive reporters
  • How automotive journalists use AI and social media
  • The "perfect" PR pitch for an automotive report

These findings shine a light on what PR professionals can say and do to win favor with automotive journalists, secure more earned media coverage, and build long-lasting relationships with media professionals covering this industry.
