Either way, putting a media contact in the awkward position of having to explain themselves will put you on the avoid list. They will avoid your calls and throw out your news releases. They will think that dealing with you will be troublesome and not worth the story they may get. Media loves people who are easy going and easy to deal with.

Being truly newsworthy is the biggest challenge of all. You may have a good cause, a good reason, a good story , a good business and it may be the right thing to do, but it is truly newsworthy? Is it of interest to the media you are asking to carry the story? Think about it, really stop, and think long about that. Why would this particular media outlet need to carry the story? Are their readers, listeners or viewers the audience you are trying to reach? Are you just sending the story out to anyone? You need to target the media first. Be sure what you are talking about is what their audience needs to know about. Then tell they something they didn’t know! Not just your sales prices but real information.

These are the basics to getting publicity anytime you want to.
