read more : Remember to target your local media including cable or community college TV. Study the various programs, some are talk, others are news, among others are community-oriented in their scope. When sending a release to television news programs, allow three days to 1 week lead time. When sending information to talk shows, allow at least three two to a month. Study the last ten minutes of broadcast on the neighborhood news. That point slot usually features soft news and human interest stories.

Magazines: Look for special-interest publications focused on covering news in your field. These are magazines that are specialized in a definite field or area. When pitching a tale to a weekly magazine, send your information out a month to six weeks in advance. If pitching a monthly magazine, make sure to get your details to the editor a minimum of three months beforehand. When you are pitching a Christmas-oriented story, send it in August. Keep magazine guides at heart as potential media outlets. They are tourist-oriented publications that are usually distributed in hotels and in some restaurants.

Newspapers: When pitching the local newspapers, create a hook that's local in its scope or is community-oriented. For anyone who is pitching an everyday or metro newspaper make sure to allow at the least two weeks. Although there were countless stories predicting the death of newspapers, remember over half of the united states receives an everyday paper. This is an extremely powerful, multi-billion dollar industry. When pitching a weekly or biweekly paper, allow at the least three weeks. Offer to create articles for trade, community-based or local publications, cost-free. Also remember ethnic-oriented papers which are rapidly growing around the country. Don't overlook club newsletters, church bulletins, business association newsletters and small newspapers.

more info : It isn't a medium to be ignored. To pitch a tale to a radio program, send your
information at least fourteen days beforehand. Many radio shows have call-in formats, so prepare to answer a range of questions. Assuming you have an 800 number, make sure and have the producer when you can give it out over the air. Also make sure and leave your contact number with the station to provide out to listeners who contact for information. Assuming you have call waiting, remember to disconnect it before conducting an interview.

Newswire Services: Newswire services, such as for example AP, gather information and offer stories to other media. The stories are written by the service's reporters and transmitted to newsrooms round the country. Newswire services also have a daybook, which list the day's newsworthy events. Unless it's breaking news, when pitching a story to a wire service be sure to send your information a minimum of two weeks beforehand.
