Pitch locallyPitch to local interest of the region
Success in Israel does not mean North American media coverage
Even internationally read papers try to appeal to their main readership

Pitching to North AmericaIs your product or service available in North
America?
Are some of your key managers from there?
Do you have business partners or investors there?
Do you have customers from there?

Reporter-PR relationshipRelations between reporters and PR
consultants are less close in North America than in Israel
Very strict line between PR and journalism in North America
More room to develop new relationships with reporters
