What are Media Requests?
Media requests are requests sent by journalists asking businesses to contribute to their stories. With Media requests, the journalists would have written most of the story but need some information from a business to finish it. Journalists work on a deadline set by their editors and Media Requests always have an expiry date, which is usually 24 – 48 hrs.
