Meet David Meerman Scott,
the founder of the newsjacking movement.

I was fired. Sacked.

My ideas were a little too radical for my new bosses.

So I started writing books, speaking at events and advising emerging companies. That was in 2002 and since then my books have sold over a million copies in 29 languages.

A decade ago, I pioneered the concept of Newsjacking, the art and science of injecting your ideas into a breaking news story. The concept of newsjacking fascinated me so I researched how people were reaching the media and buyers in real-time.

I started speaking about Newsjacking soon after and hundreds of people reached out to me to tell me that Newsjacking has been a great success for them. Since then, I’ve refined the ideas and developed this course, Master Newsjacking!

I’ve taught people all over the world how to use this technique to grow business. Newsjacking works for all sorts of outfits and people—it doesn’t matter if you are large and well known or tiny and obscure. Newsjacking is being used right now by nonprofits, political campaigns, business-to-business marketers, and individuals.

I was honored several years ago when the word Newsjacking was listed in the Oxford Dictionaries!

The editors said:

“In the space of a few short years, newsjacking has gone from an experimental technique to a staple in every social media-savvy marketing department’s arsenal. Brands from across industry sectors fully embraced the strategy this year, increasingly taking advantage of current events to not only push their brand into the public consciousness but to align themselves with certain ethical or moral positions.

Blending ‘news’ and ‘hijacking’, the word itself dates back to the 1970s with reference to the theft of newspapers in order to sell them to scrap dealers. Its contemporary iteration, however, dates from the early twenty-first century, as first popularized by marketing and sales strategist David Meerman Scott.”

I admit it: by nature, I'm a reader, not a viewer. I like books because their structure keeps me from getting lost. I'm frequently frustrated by online and video training because the key points just flow past me, like water from a firehouse. However, David Meerman Scott’s Master Newsjacking! has not only convinced me to adopt a Newsjacking mindset -- inspiring me with powerful, documented examples and tools -- but it has demonstrated that video can be a far more powerful training tool than reading. Master Newsjacking! succeeds where most video programs fail because David has organized it into short, well-paced segments, each focused on a single, easily-remembered point. No two segments are alike, the pacing is always energetic, and they all end with a memorable and actionable key idea. The dashboard/navigation is superb: I can easily see where I've been, resume where I've left off, or repeat lessons. An added bonus: unlike the "afterthought" handouts that often accompany videos, the PDF's that accompany each lesson demonstrate as much planning, design, and craftsmanship as the videos themselves. With Master Newsjacking!, I not only have a better understanding of a marketing mindset and associated tools that can be the basis of my next career pivot, I now have a "gold standard" to aspire to when creating my own video training. Be prepared for positive change and new tools to achieve it.

Thanks, David. I don't often post endorsements but I will here because I'm quickly understanding why newsjacking is such a powerful practice. The course is already doing it's job -- which is making me think about newsjacking in a habitual way. My bet is that newsjacking is especially valuable to those who work within corporate walls because it can start to free them from the confines of the often-rigid rules within -- while generating more attention and growth for the organization. Win/win. Meantime, know that I'm all in. You've got something exceptional here...perfect for our times.

If you don't know how to newsjack, you don't know PR.

Richard Jurek

Newsjacking is more than just a mind-set in today's real-time, hyper-connected world: it is as indispensable and fundamental a PR skill as pitching, bridging, or message development. Without the newsjacking techniques I have learned from David, I would not be able to do my job. It is as simple as that. If you don't know how to newsjack, you don't know PR.

After David taught me his breakthrough concept of Newsjacking, I was able to grow my CashForPurses.com business from literally 0 to over 8,000 customers in a little over 6 weeks. This resulted in 6-figure revenue in a very short time, as well as major media and venture capital attention.
