Getting reporters to call you
- swombat 18y agoWhat sort of questions do they ask?
- josefresco 18y agoHmmm seems like a clever email list gathering scheme. It's also apparently working quite well with over 23,000 sources.
- dangoldin 18y agoNormally I'd agree but I don't think Godin would be doing that. But what do I know?
- fallentimes 18y agoHe owns one of the largest spam websites ever, Squidoo.com.
- ivey 18y agoI signed up a while ago, after seeing it mentioned on This Is True. I've been underwhelmed. It's a lot of email (3 or 4 a day) and takes too much time to digest. A sample from today^Wyesterday: "Looking for a woman cheesemaker to profile from the general rural region outside Washington DC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh or State College, PA." "Punjabi-American Politically Active Folk" "I'm looking for any information on awkward friendships. For example, you hang out with a friend (of the same sex) and it is uncomfortable, stiff and almost like a really bad date." "I'm working on a story about the trend of unusual hotels that used to be prisons, banks, caves, etc."
- brandnewlow 18y agoShould be rephrased.....getting "lazy" reporters to call you. Any editor I've worked for would be ticked if he/she knew I was begging for sources on a list like this.
