http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_in_Ottawa-GatineauFrom: Claude <email@domain.name> Here's the place where you can submit a free press release:
Get a hold of this book: "Making the News" by Jason Salzman, Revised and Updated, 2003 or later. Harry Valentine contributes this little GEM: “News programs such as W5, Fifth Estate and MarketPlace may be willing to carry reports re. the fluoridation-free campaign . . . . they will need only the most devastating material against water fluoridation.” Contact
Go to your local library and take a look at the Newspaper Directory and the Magazine Directory for your City in the reference section. Under your local listing, you should find a name for the particular editor that handles health issues, then the one that handles the environmental isues, or the editor in charge of the magazine with their telephone contact number. It might be outdated, so call their main number and ask the receptionist "Is Joan Smith (or whomever) still the so and so Editor?" The receptionist will then confirm that the person is still in the position, or tell you the name of the new person in this role, if not, just ask, or you'll be transfered to the newsroom to ask someone else. With the editor's name in hand, you're now ready to make your call. It's often more useful nowadays to try the newspaper's web site. Increasingly, full editorial staff listings can be found online. Here are some "etiquette" secrets that can help effectively work with journalists in generating tons of free press..... Don't call to "see if they got your release." Journalists hate this. Folks send out mass mailings and then call to see if the release made it there. If you really want to get a story in your target newspaper, call first to pitch your story and then follow up with your release, photos, etc. Plan your call around their deadlines. Most papers are morning editions. Thus, journalists' deadlines range from 2:00 PM. local time and on. Don't call during this time! The best time to reach a newspaper journalist is 10:00 AM to noon local time. Don't start pitching right away! If you get Joan Smith on the phone, don't just dive into your pitch. This is rude, as Joan may be on the other line, working on a story, entertaining guests or who knows what else. Start by saying something like, "Hi Ms. Smith, my name's Bill Jones and I have a story suggestion you might find interesting. Is this a good time for you?" Joan will reply "yes" -- which is a green light to start your pitch, or "no" -- to which you reply, "When would be a good time to call you back?" Unless the journalist is a jerk, your courtesy will be greatly appreciated ... which can only help your chances. Pitch to the voice mail. It's fine to pitch your story to the reporter's voice mail. Keep it very short and end the message with your phone number. If you don't hear back, try again until you get the actual reporter or editor on the phone. Don't read from a script! The bane of many journalists' existences are 22-year-olds sitting in cubicles in big PR firms reading pitches off a sheet of paper. If you've ever been called by a telemarketer doing the same thing, you know how annoying it can be. Practice your pitch so that it seems natural and spontaneous. Give them a story, not an advertisement. Newspapers do not exist to give you publicity. They exist to provide readers with interesting stories. Your job is to give the journalist what he or she wants, while getting the free exposure. Make your pitch newsy, exciting and relevant. How about: "Ms. Smith, as you probably know, obesity among children is growing at an alarming rate. Because of the ridicule they face from other children, millions of overweight young people are being marked with lifetime scars that can seriously damage their self-esteem. I host a unique website, where overweight kids can anonymously express their feelings and discuss this issue. I think I've learned some important things about a very serious subject." That's a whole lot more interesting to an editor than: "Ms. Smith, I have a website where overweight kids post messages. Would you like to do a story about me?" Follow up immediately. If she's interested, she will ask for more information. Be sure you have a press kit (including news release and photo) ready to send. Send it out via priority mail, and write "Requested Information" below the address. Call again. Now it's appropriate to call to see if the journalist received your stuff... after all, unlike a mass-mailed release, it was requested! Ask if he or she has had a chance to look through it, and what they think. If the journalist likes the content, you're about to get some very valuable free publicity! Volunteers are needed to hone their skills in this area and to eventually contact the program directors/managers of these news programs. |
