With a big summer of sport ahead and a packed political calendar across the globe, journalists and broadcasters will be busy and in need of case studies, expert comment, and more from the PR and comms sector. To help with your media outreach, here is insight on what they’ll need based on media requests from the ResponseSource Journalist Enquiry Service (now included in the Vuelio platform<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

World Cup fever<\/h2>\n

The FIFA World Cup kicks off on Thursday and journalists have been trying to get ahead with their coverage as 1.5% of the requests in May featured the keyphrase \u2018World Cup\u2019. Around 1% of these also contained the keyword \u2018football\u2019 as the Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup also begins this week on Friday.<\/p>\n

Enquiries have been looking at various angles when it comes to World Cup coverage including England\/Scotland fans prepping for the World Cup and flexi working companies, money saving tips for those planning to travel out there for it, and the rarest and most valuable World Cup football shirts. These requests have come from journalists at BBC News, The Sun, Insider Sport and Which? Money.<\/p>\n

Going forward?<\/strong> With this being the longest World Cup in terms of schedule and amount of matches, journalists will be looking for plenty of insight throughout June and into July when the tournament eventually finishes. Locations to watch the matches, case studies of fan experiences and football experts are the most likely to be in demand and could get you featured in both broadcast media and national press.<\/p>\n

Weather forecast looking popular<\/h2>\n

The common stereotype is that Brits are obsessed with talking about the weather and in May that was the case with journalists using the service. Just under 2% of the requests last month contained \u2018weather\u2019 in them. \u2018Heatwave\u2019 cropped up in 1% as well, as the sudden summer sunshine got everyone talking.<\/p>\n

Publications including The i paper, Ideal Home, Daily Star, woman & home, and PA Media all sent weather-related requests last month. These included changes to make now to improve your sleep in warm weather, an expert to comment on the link between stormy weather and neurological conditions, and a nutritionist to give advice on the best and worst things to eat and drink during a heatwave.<\/p>\n

Going forward?<\/strong> While the British weather may not be predictable, we can predict more weather-related requests this month, based on the fact that just over 2% of requests in June last year focused on this. Enquiries tend to focus on experts, but these can often be associated with other topics such as health and gardening, rather than purely on weather conditions themselves.<\/p>\n

Gardening gurus in demand<\/h2>\n

Gardening as a keyword always performs on the Journalist Enquiry Service throughout the year and last month was no different as it cropped up in 4% of the total. This also coincided with the Home & Garden category being the third most popular on the service, behind Health and Women\u2019s Interest & Beauty.<\/p>\n

Enquiries are mainly looking for experts, but these are still for a variety of topics and last month that included sustainable garden ideas, the best shrubs to give your garden a hotel look, rainwater harvesting, and how to protect gardens from plant thieves. Journalists at House Beautiful, Country Living, Amateur Gardening, The Daily Mirror, and The London Standard all sent an enquiry in May.<\/p>\n

Going forward?<\/strong> In June 2025, gardening was even more popular as a keyword when it appeared in over 6% of the total requests. We expect to see a similar volume of requests for June this year. While experts are the most in demand from journalists, there will also be opportunities to get garden products featured too and hopefully get coverage in a consumer media title.<\/p>\n

Other opportunities for PRs in June and beyond<\/h2>\n

Travel, like gardening, is another keyword that does well throughout the year but with the summer holidays in sight then June often sees it reach its peak. Last year, 6% of the total enquiries featured \u2018travel\u2019 in them. 3% also contained \u2018holidays\u2019 and \u2018hotel\u2019 also appeared in just over 3%. From expert comment on the top holiday destinations for 2026 to case studies of nightmare weekend getaways, there will be plenty of media opportunities for those in the travel sector to get featured.<\/p>\n

While the schools don\u2019t break up till mid-July, journalists will already be looking for back-to-school information from this month onwards. In June 2025, 2% of the enquiries that month featured \u2018school\u2019 as a keyword. These vary from looking for information on new clothes and stationary for the next school year to expert advice for parents who will be sending their kids off to primary school for the first time or moving onto secondary school. Have expert comment and information ready if you want to secure national press coverage.<\/p>\n
