PRSA Georgia | Annual Media Panel and August Chapter Meeting

Behind the Headlines: How Georgia Media are Covering the Governor’s Race

As Georgia’s gubernatorial race heats up, local reporters are navigating a fast-moving, high-stakes news environment. Join PRSA Georgia for a candid conversation with leading government and policy journalists as they share how they’re approaching election coverage and what’s shaping their reporting decisions.

Panelists will offer a behind-the-scenes look at newsroom priorities, how they evaluate pitches and sources, and how PR professionals can engage more effectively — especially in politically sensitive moments.

Attendees will walk away with practical insights into what reporters need, what stands out (and what doesn’t), and how to build stronger media relationships during a critical election cycle.
