yours. You might even try pitching your story over the phone
before you send your release.

industry. The fact that you have created a way for silver coated
milk cans to dent less easily probably won't get a second look
from your local daily newspaper, but the dairy trade publication
might put you on the front page. Be sure to send them a photo,
with YOU in the picture.

stories like yours. A policeman who had a story approximately abuse
couldn't get his side covered by the local daily, but had a topic
alternative newspapers loved.

5. Pay an email newsletter to run all or part of your press
release. Ad rates are down helter-skelter the Net and many fine
publications will consider working with you if your release has
good information their readers will appreciate. This same
