This is the sixth post in the “A Conversation With” series, where I interview talented folks about their areas of expertise, whether that’s social media, public relations, or communications. You can read past entries in the series here.

This month, I interviewed Tianna Mañón, a self-employed media specialist based in Rochester, NY. We discussed building relationships with journalists, what makes a good pitch, how to tell great stories, and why representation in newsrooms matters. I hope you enjoy her insights!
