Once you’ve crafted your key mes- sages and created the media release/other promotional materials, you need to ensure that the copy is reaching the right media outlets to generate widespread coverage. That’s where the Saskatchewan Media Directory comes into play. This publication contains a detailed listing of all the media outlets in the province, from daily newspapers to radio broadcasters and TV stations with large reaches. However, not every story is necessarily a mainstream topic. Through our Specialty Publications section, you will find a detailed list of magazines, newsletters and e-blasts spread across a variety of sectors such as agriculture, culture and history. Take advantage of this section to target your media releases to the publications they’re best suited for. This is an annual publication, meaning it’s the most up-to-date copy of media contacts available. Each year we review and update contact information for all media outlets, while adding new ones and taking out ones that are no longer in operation. Instead of constantly updating your media list, this publication ensures that you can devote your re- sources to developing and refining the communications pieces you submit to the media. The team at Benchmark Public Relations has made every attempt to make this directory as comprehensive as possible. Thank you for purchasing this copy, and we welcome any comments you may have regarding improvements to future editions. 2019 SASKATCHEWAN MEDIA DIRECTORY 5 DAILY NEWSPAPERS PRINCE ALBERT DAILY HERALD Display Advertising Inquires: 30 – 10th Street East [email protected] Prince Albert, SK S6V 0Y5 panow.com @princealbertnow Phone: (306) 764-4276 or 1-800-667-8245 An online newspaper that is updated Email: [email protected] throughout the day on all things Prince Website: www.paherald.sk.ca Albert.
