The top PR professionals do this every year and I’ve personally found that outcomes are well worth the time – especially when you end up getting featured in a key article in a major publication.
Except for the year and the names of the months, these calendars bear little resemblance to the glossy hang-up calendars in the stores. No swimsuit-clad models, lush scenery, puppies, kittens or cartoons of Dilbert. Editorial calendars are usually bare-bones lists of upcoming issue topics and major features – or at least the cover stories or special sections. Not much to look at – unless you're a PR pro trying to crack that market.
That's because knowing what publications have in store allows you to tailor your pitches, news releases and articles to particular issues. Helping editors and journalists by providing the stories they need earns you goodwill and increased attention.
