Frequently asked questions
What is expert news?
News analysis and commentary by highly knowledgeable deep subject matter experts in finance, healthcare, technology, education, business, public policy and complex professional services fields that is vetted and published by major national, financial, trade and consumer news outlets.
What ISN’T expert news?
Self-promotional, self-serving, paid content, advertising, press release material. Expert news contributors understand that earning trust, gaining authority, and building credibility come from knowledge, skill, transparency, and truth-telling. The Expert Press works with SMEs to help them optimize how they share their knowledge. The reputation and prominence a highly valuable expert can build through their expert news effort is the reward they seek.
Is expert news the same as earned media?
Not exactly, but it will likely become the new definition of earned media. Expert news is the fusion of deep expertise and proprietary data science that, in the hands of our editors, guides an expert toward maximum impact. Expert news makes lasting contributions to the news. It not only meets the news needs of audiences the expert wants to reach, it also serves the public at large. That is why it is sought after by the world’s most respected publications. And also why creating expert news is worth the expert’s time.
Are you a PR firm?
No. But we often work for customers in concert with their PR teams. If you are looking specifically for PR, we can refer you to practitioners.
Is this sponsored content?
No. If, with our help, our customers can’t create expert news that earns its place in the news flow our data and our process hasn’t done its job. And our top-notch editorial team makes sure our data and our process always does its job.
