MediaSource Brand Journalism Returns to Best Health Care Agency Competition in Ragan Communications Health Care Awards(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Columbus, OH (PRWEB) July 22, 2014 Brand journalism tactics for major health care organizations have landed MediaSource as a Ragan Communications 2014 Health Care PR and Marketing Awards finalist. This will be the second consecutive year that MediaSource placed in the finalist category for Best Health Care Agency, which was awarded to the winning MediaSource team last year. This year the firm will be back competing to keep this title against three other contenders that include AMF Media Group for Alameda Health System, Boyden & Youngblutt Advertising and Marketing and JPA Health Systems. MediaSource, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a national leader in brand journalism. The company's brand journalism team uses journalistic tactics to create client content which is amplified by using both earned media and company-owned media coverage. The team of brand journalists also utilizes their Multimedia Newsroom, which MediaSource developed as a way to deliver high quality multimedia content directly to the news media, allowing for maximum buzz for clients. All major television networks and other top tier news media utilize MediaSource's Multimedia Newsroom to access and download content. The firm works with the nation's top health care providers including The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Nationwide Children's Hospital, National Jewish Health, Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Orlando Health. Additionally, a public relations project using brand journalism tactics that generated so much web traffic that it crashed a major hospital's site has placed MediaSource as a finalist in the Best PR Campaign category. MediaSource, nationally known as a health care brand journalism authority, was recognized for their work promoting The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's SAGE Test, a self-administered test which evaluates a person's cognitive skills. The brand journalism campaign, the most successful individual initiative to date for the hospital, included taking a journalistic approach to the creation of multimedia elements for both earned media as well as for hospital-owned social media channels.
