Networking with journalists works best when first contact feels useful, not transactional. You are building trust over time so a reporter can recognize you, reach you quickly, and use your input under deadline pressure.

Solo PR work can break down from execution drift, not just from having too few apps. Dropped leads, missed follow-ups, and patchy client updates are common failure points when your weekly routine gets too heavy.
You can write this yourself, and that is often the right first move before you decide whether outside help is needed for complexity or messaging risk.
