CHICAGO, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cision, the global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today released its 16th annual State of the Media Report, an industry-defining study of more than 3,000 journalists across 19 global markets. This year’s findings uncover the pressures and possibilities shaping modern journalism—from shifting audience behavior and AI disruption to the continued demand for relevance, accuracy, and real human connection in PR outreach.

Cision’s 2025 State of the Media Report Reveals a Tipping Point for Trust, Technology, and PR-Journalist Partnerships

For over a decade and a half, Cision’s State of the Media Report has offered unparalleled insight into the evolving dynamics between journalists and the PR professionals who partner with them. The 2025 report dives deeper than ever before, revealing regional differences across North America, EMEA, and APAC, and surfacing global themes that matter most in media today.

“This year’s findings reinforce just how important it is for PR teams to focus on precision, empathy, and adaptability,” said Jim Daxner, Chief Product Officer and Head of Strategy at Cision. “The media landscape is evolving rapidly—AI is transforming how content is created, audience behavior is more fragmented than ever, and journalists are navigating immense pressures. Our report gives PR professionals the roadmap to be trusted, valuable collaborators in that environment.”

Key Insights from the 2025 Report:

  • Relevance is Everything: 86% of journalists say they’ll immediately reject a pitch that isn’t aligned with their beat or audience—underscoring the need for PR teams to do their research and tailor every outreach.
  • Press Releases Still Reign: Despite an evolving media landscape, 72% of journalists still cite press releases as the most useful resource PR teams can offer. When paired with multimedia, impact increases significantly.
  • AI Adoption and Caution: Over half of journalists globally now use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, yet 72% worry about factual errors in AI-generated PR content. Transparency, accuracy, and human oversight remain essential.
  • Relationship-First PR: The majority of journalists (85%) say the best way to build a relationship is simple: introduce yourself via email—even without a story to pitch. Relationships still matter most in media relations.
  • Fragmented Social Media Use: LinkedIn remains the most-used platform globally, while region-specific platforms like WeChat (China), WhatsApp (EMEA), and BlueSky (North America) show the shifting nature of media engagement.

A Global Perspective That Drives Smarter PR

This year’s survey spans insights from 19 countries, reflecting a global industry in transition. From APAC’s embrace of AI to North America’s continued focus on media trust and credibility, the 2025 report helps PR professionals adapt their strategies to regional realities while aligning with universal best practices.

The report also includes tactical guidance on pitching, multimedia preferences, AI use in content creation, and how to build long-term media relationships in a digitally fractured world.

CHICAGO, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hanx Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (HanxBio), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering next-generation immunotherapies, highlighted its expanding oncology and autoimmune disease pipeline with five research poster presentations at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago (April 25–30). The presentations spotlighted novel bispecific antibodies and a CSF-1R inhibitor, underscoring the company’s leadership in innovative cancer treatment strategies.

Key Highlights from HanxBio’s AACR Presentations

1. HX044: A first-in-class (FIC) CTLA-4xSIRPα is a bispecific antibody fusion protein designed to enhance safety and amplify anti-tumor immunity. HX044 targets PD-1-resistant solid tumors (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma). Currently in Phase I trials, it represents a breakthrough in overcoming resistance to existing immunotherapies.

2. HX035: A preclinical OX40-targeting bispecific antibody engineered to address inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. By binding two distinct OX40 epitopes, HX035 aims to achieve best-in-class (BIC) precision in modulating immune responses.

3. HX016-7 & HX016-9: Two preclinical bispecific antibodies targeting PD-L1xVEGF and PD-1xVEGF, respectively. These dual-target therapies aim to disrupt both tumor immune evasion and blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), offering a novel approach to treating solid tumors.

4. HX301 (Narazaciclib): A CSF-1R inhibitor co-developed with Traws Pharma, Inc., now in Phase II trials for glioblastoma. HX301 is being evaluated in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), a standard chemotherapy, to enhance anti-tumor efficacy.

Dr. Henry Li, CEO and CSO of HanxBio, attended and presented posters at the AACR Annual Conference and he emphasized the company’s progress: “Our AACR presentations reflect HanxBio’s commitment to redefining cancer and autoimmune disease treatment through cutting-edge bispecific antibody platforms. With HX044 advancing in clinical trials and a robust preclinical pipeline, we are poised to deliver transformative therapies that address critical unmet needs for patients globally.” He added, “By targeting multiple pathways simultaneously or by exploring coordinated binding (cis-bindings)—we aim to overcome enhanced activity and safety, thus improving outcomes for hard-to-treat cancers.”
