Journalism involves researching, reporting, collecting, writing, editing, and spreading news for the worldwide audiences. But is brand journalism the same as journalism? Absolutely. From what we see everyday, political journalism is journalism, sport journalism is also considered journalism, blogs about local or international issues are journalism, even face book or Twitter posts are also journalism. Brand journalism is a company investing in content and becoming a provider of news. It is more, much more, than a series of press releases and product launches (LEWIS, 2012).

While brand journalism is becoming the standard for both large and small companies, a lot of businesses are still trying to understand how to use brand journalism effectively. Brand journalists must combine an authoritative voice, consumer education and comprehensive marketing integration (Barakat, 2014). Good brand journalism should tell a good story, consumers will not be easily fooled by advertising disguises but a good story in brand journalism is the best and effectively way to catches the audiences’ attention. Back in 1895, John Deere published a customer magazine with useful content just for farmers called Furrow, but now the magazine reaches more than 2 million people across the world. In 1959, NASA signed a contract allowing Life magazine and World Book Science Services to have exclusive coverage of the personal stories of its astronauts and their families, demonstrating the importance of collaborating with traditional media …show more content…
It vows to kill the traditional press release by 2015(Winchel, 2014). Brand journalism is not brand new, when NASA decided to put a man on the moon, one of the first and biggest marketing has just began. By selling stories about the importance of space and the stories about those astronauts and their families members brought global attention, people started desiring for more, more information and more stories. As consumers become more and more savvy, they don’t want to be interrupted by advertisements, even though it might be disguised as journalism that is why it is very important for brand journalists to educate the consumers, use expert voices and create stories that people wanted to see. Brand journalism takes many forms and people always have a hard time understand it and writers also have a hard time defining it to the audiences. It is difficult to define when exactly where, when or how brand journalism started, but there is not doubt that NASA definitely gets the credit for redefining the traditional approach to

LRNA must also determine what marketing mix to utilize and how much of its marketing budget should be allocated to each media strategy. First, we would advocate increasing the marketing budget to approximately $30 million to better position LRNA against our competitors. Since our target consumers are educated, married males in the 35-64 age group with annual incomes of $100K or above, we would suggest allocating sixty percent of our budget to advertising through television and print ads with a 65-35 split between the two. Ads should present the dual nature of the Discovery and Land Rover brand as rugged, exciting, but safe vehicles equally adept at handling the challenge of the jungles of Madagascar and the challenge of the city highway with your children onboard. Print ads would be placed in business and news magazines as well as national newspapers such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and Washington Post.
The Z3 case provides a stimulating overview of how creative ideas can influence a new product launch. It illustrates the role of cross-promotions and movie product placements within the marketing mix, as well as their role in developing a new brand and a brand’s ‘personality’.

The mainstream model of liberal journalism believes that it’s practices result in stories that are an accurate reflection of reality, journalist believe they simply hold a mirror up to society (Louw, 2010). In constructing a story, spin team must have an insight on how the society believe nowadays, and it’s not only to just follow that believe, but give society an option to consider another belief. Therefore the spin team need to understand their audience first, what is the best tool they can use as a strategy, how to talk with those audience, generate comprehensive media knowledge and the ability to spin current perspective. The public relations / spin industry is geared to planting stories in the media by using journalists to disseminate stories serving the spin doctors agenda (Louw, 2010). Nowadays, in developing a campaign, the role of spin team is very powerful. It’s not about how well the messages received to the public or remembered but becoming a share worthy and meaningful messages that shows empathy as well as emotionally attached with everyone. The Dove “real beauty” campaign shows a successful role of spin team, the...
Negative media attention can cause a business or its products to go plummeting down within a very short amount of time and positive media attention can make an organization reach to its highest potential.

INTRODUCTION The Society demands that the men who minister to its health be in the highest sense of the word professional men professionally trained, professional in their ethics, professionally responsible. Society demands professional training and professional conduct of the men who minister to its needs in legal matters. The fact that society demands less of the men who minister through news to its knowledge and attitudes is one of the great and dangerous inconsistencies that have given shape to the twentieth century (Schramm, 1947, p. 1). 90).
