Thinking of pitching public radio with your story?<\/p>\n
If so, first read these pitching tips from Charles Munroe-Kane, courtesy of Bulldog Reporter<\/a>. Munroe-Kane\u00a0produces “To The Best of Our Knowledge”<\/a> and “Zorba Paster on Your Health” for Public Radio International and says he isn’t interested in breaking news events but, rather, a “cultural” look at the news.<\/p>\n I particularly love his tip about pitching stories that translate well to radio. For example:<\/p>\n “The William Christenberry [photography] show at the Smithsonian illustrates this pretty well. Normally, that wouldn’t be a good fit. But the PR people for the show understood that and said right up front that even though he’s a photographer, he could also tell great stories. They addressed that in the beginning of the email pitch. That caught my attention.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lissa Warren, a book publicist who was my guest during a teleseminar called “How to Get Booked on National Public Radio,”<\/a> says one of the best ways to research NPR shows is to go right to the website.<\/a>\u00a0You can search shows by topic and, many times, listen to past shows from the archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thinking of pitching public radio with your story?
