If you’re hoping to connect with journalists and broadcasters who might\u00a0interview you for a story, or include you in a TV show they’re planning, here’s another resource.\u00a0<\/p>\nIf you’re hoping to connect with journalists and broadcasters who might\u00a0interview you for a story, or include you in a TV show they’re planning, here’s another resource.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s a website called “If I can Help a Reporter Out,” and it was created by Peter Shankman, owner of a New York PR firm.\u00a0 His many journalist friends send him queries regularly about specific types of sources they are seeking for stories.<\/p>\n
If you give him your email address, he will email the queries to you. Currently, he’s sending three emails a day. It’s your job to then contact the journalists on your own and start to build the relationship. (See “Magic Phrases to use with the Media, and Deadly Gaffes to Avoid.”) <\/a><\/p>\n The service is free. If you like it,\u00a0Peter suggests you make a donation to an animal group such as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary or The National Search Dog Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re hoping to connect with journalists and broadcasters who might\u00a0interview you for a story, or include you in a TV show they’re planning, here’s another resource.\u00a0 It’s a website called “If I can Help a Reporter Out,” and it was created by Peter Shankman, owner of a New York PR firm.\u00a0 His many journalist\u2026 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","iawp_total_views":1,"wds_primary_category":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[465,29,205],"class_list":{"0":"post-1370","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-marketing","7":"tag-free-pr-tools","8":"tag-media-relations","9":"tag-pitching","10":"entry"},"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Joan Stewart","author_link":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/author\/jstewart\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1370"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41596,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1370\/revisions\/41596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
