The value of the PESO for your health communication work may be far greater than you think… if you’re talking about the PESO Model created by public relations professional by Gini Dietrich. In this episode, we unpack the four types of media in the acronym PESO—paid, earned, shared, and owned—and the role each one plays in an effective communication strategy. We’ll also talk about why the rationale behind your media choices should include more than just cost, especially if you need to build audience trust. This is the first episode in a brief series on media relations in public health communication. Over the next few episodes, we will focus on practical steps to gain earned media, which is sometimes the forgotten stepchild of media use in public health, but could be one of the most important and effective pieces of your communication toolkit.

Remember that the PESO model is not specific to health communication, so you may need to do a little translation between its corporate-focused terminology and what we do:

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
