Journalism
French term or phrase: déclinaison
I am translating a slide presentation on a multinational’s action plan for being more proactive, improving its public relations and public image, and increasing its visibility in a certain jurisdiction. One slide suggests an op-ed or an in-depth interview in a specific newspaper “avec déclinaisons dans les magazines et journaux du groupe ABC”. Another bullet on the same slide reads “avec déclinaisons dans les magazines et les émissions de télévision produites par XYZ TV”. Any help on the word “déclinaison” in this context would be much appreciated. Thanks.

leveraging


Explanation:
Leveraging across other media, as when the advert in the glossy magazine depicting the Citrault Himgane converted into a transformer robot recalls the animation of the Citrault Himgane robot doing .... what DID it do? ... on the TV advert.
