Good afternoon!
I hope everyone is enjoying this summer day. Recently I have been using a great site to connect with journalists: Muck Rack. This web site tracks journalists on social media.
I use the site to find journalists associated with a topic of a client. For example, I work with a children’s book author who is from the Boston area. I found a journalist who covers arts & entertainment from The Boston Herald and pitched her email.
One can also use Twitter to pitch. I spend about a half-hour a day on Twitter retweeting and replying to certain postings.
Try it! One never knows who you will meet!
Here is The Boston Herald article.
