“Today is an
opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to all the journalists who have
covered our company over the years, and to acknowledge their work and that of
their predecessors,” said Lynette Jackson, Head of Global Communications at
Siemens. "Professional journalism is more important than ever, especially
when it can be difficult to distinguish between news and fake news. We aim to
provide high quality, timely content and access so that journalists can inform
and educate their readers about our business."
The tasks carried out by the Siemens press office have constantly
developed over the last 120 years and have been tailored to keep pace with
technological progress. For example, the company’s interactive media website
with thousands of visits a month and the Siemens_Press Twitter account, which
has over 40,000 followers, are key communications channels for the company
today.
“In-person
exchanges between the company and media representatives are still crucial for
press work. Our team of spokespersons are therefore still available to speak
with journalists at any time by phone or – during the pandemic – also via video
call,” said Florian Martens, Head of Media Relations and Executive Communications
at Siemens.
Data
analytics also play an increasingly important role in media work. The purpose
of professional press work, however, has largely remained the same: to provide relevant
and interesting information, to analyze the facts and to be available to the
media as a trustworthy contact.
