 Our 2009 Health Food News editorial calendar shows the major editorial features planned for forthcoming issues from which reporters and editors from newspaper, magazine, radio/TV and other news media refer to regarding natural products. Also called editorial planning calendars because PR or public relations professionals often use them in an attempt to increase their chances of coverage. For example, if one of our affiliated publications is going to do a green story on hybrid cars, publicists would want to have us distribute their press release about their related product or news announcement several weeks to months in advance of the story's planned publication.
