Press Conferences
Meetings between doctors/experts and journalists remains the best way to publicize news.
Intermedia arranges for an average of 40-50 press conferences a year, each time selecting journalists to invite on the basis of the topic to deal with and the specific communication needs.

Intermedia mailing list includes more than 900 journalists who work at different levels in all Italian media: agencies, radios, televisions, daily newspapers, magazines, medical and scientific information, and websites.

During our meetings, journalists are given a press folder and a cd rom with a press release including the main news of the event, speakers’ talk summaries and copious background information. The documents delivered can be used both for immediate release and filing.

Press releases
Publicizing news, commenting upon an event just happened, informing about the latest research and therapeutic news: a press release is certainly the fastest and most direct way to reach journalists.

Our colleagues need information which has to be not only punctual and detailed but also scientifically incontestable, critically tested and therefore extremely reliable.

During these years of activity, Intermedia has achieved and enjoyed the esteem of all the major national media which rely on our press production to release articles, reports, surveys and coverages.

Intermedia Publisher
For graphics and editorial projects of reviews and publications, Intermedia relies on the collaboration of designers and copywriters by means of a consolidated partnership which guarantees high quality standard, logotype originality, competitive prices and rapid elaboration times.

Intermedia’s copywriters and designers are ready to produce layouts, projects for different types of publications, logotypes for information campaigns.

Magazines
Beside the reviews issued for the Ministry of Health, Intermedia plans and issues a lot of other periodicals in any field of Health:

Books
Intermedia plans, issues and distributes scientific updating volumes and divulgative publications, such as the “Libro Bianco dell’Oncologia Italiana” (the White book of Italian Oncology), “Il fenomeno cancro” (The cancer  phenomenon), “Linee Guida AIOM” (AIOM Guidelines), "Ho vinto io".
