[PR] TuneUp: What To Pitch The Media This Month: January

Well wow, Tin Shingler! This was quite a news day.

To get you back into the groove of your business, we are keeping this TuneUp open for all to stream for the next few hours. Today's performance and insurrection was a culmination of the distraction that we have all been dealing with for the past 9 months. Ironically, during this TuneUp, Katie pointed out that the media is getting into its groove with the pandemic and social revolution, being that it was not operating in crisis mode during the last few weeks. Crisis mode is where the media cycle is interrupted by crisis and planned news stories are dropped in favor of what is happening right now.

On the other hand, how the media handled today was not very reassuring, as they asked the current president to show leadership and tell his people to "go home." This president has been consistently encouraging today's actions to happen. So for the media like CNN not to recognize that, was disappointing, yet not surprising to the Black community, who have watched and endured this type of coverage for a long time. Or since forever.

Shaking our heads, and enraged that there has been little news coverage of any arrests of those who rioted, trespassed, and stole or lifted government property. Was anyone arrested? Sadly, it is being reported that one woman who stormed inside the Capitol was shot by police and has died.

Social media giants did take action. Twitter and Facebook locked him out of his accounts, and YouTube removed his video telling his people to stay peaceful, in which, he could not have looked happier. Read all about it here at Deadline.com.

At any rate. Get many ideas for how to pitch the media this month. And energy! This was a great TuneUp, and will jazz your brand. It's free for all to stream for limited time, and then will be available to Tin Shingle Members to stream 24/7.

MORE 2020 Calendars! Conde Nast Traveller, Threads, Bloomberg Businessweek, Gift Shop

Y’all: Yvonne Is On Fire!

Tin Shingle’s Editorial Calendar Researcher, Yvonne de Salle, is on fire with her sleuthing for 2020 Editorial Calendars! Tin Shingle has the most comprehensive searchable database of Editorial Calendars for print magazines - in the world. Yes, in the world! Other services have stopped providing this service, and others do it by simply posting PDFs of a magazine, without the searchability component.

Tin Shingle kept at it (we actually discontinued it at one point) and actually researches these calendars and print cycles all year. If we don’t have the calendar, we will do a “churn cycle” and give you an idea of where a print publication is in their print cycle, so that you can know what time of year you are pitching that magazine. Not detrimental to your pitching, but is helpful!

Below is a sampling of the latest 2020 themes that have been added to Tin Shingle’s Editorial Collection:

Threads: Geared towards those passionate about sewing garments, home furnishings, gifts, and accessories.

Editorial Calendar Planning For Now: Plus Size

Skies: Covers the people and stories behind North America’s aviation and aerospace community.

New 2020 Editorial Calendars: Fast Company, Gourmet Insider, Country Gardens and More...

You’re wrapping up your holiday shopping as December rolls to a close, but it’s summertime in the print magazine world. Here is a sampling of 2020 Editorial Calendars we have added to Tin Shingle’s Editorial Calendar Collection, which you can access anytime with a Media Kit Membership, a program we designed to empower business owners, artists and makers who are getting the word out and making their own publicity happen.

Editorial Calendars are the top-line plans for a magazine issue. Knowing what these broad themes are in advance helps you pitch a story angle into a magazine that is more relevant to what they are working on right now. Larger publications are putting together a magazine about 6 months in advance. Regional publications might be working on it 3 months out. So even though it’s cold outside, editors at big publications might be sweating over the summer issue. Learn more about how this works by listening to our monthly TuneUp webinars on Wednesdays at 12pm EST. Media Kit Members get anytime access to our archive of recordings.

As the foremost business media publication, Fast Company focuses on technology, leadership, world changing ideas, creativity, and design. Fast Company is geared towards business leaders who think progressively and expansively, leading with purpose to shape the future of business.

How The Editorial Content Planner Template Works

The template is organized by weeks in the month, with a line for every single day, coupled with national themes for that month to help you stay relevant. We found a few new fun themes.
Sample of National Celebration Themes In This Collection:

• National Bald Is Beautiful Day

• Keep Kids Creative Week

• World Space Week

• America Recycles Day

• Parks and Recreation Month

• Go Skateboarding Day

• Take Back The Lunch Break Day

• Take Your Dog To Work Day

• Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

Knowing The Themes Is Great For:
