- 6. Do ● Introduce yourself via email, Twitter ● Share your area of expertise so the journalist is aware of what you can speak on ● Reach out with availability to comment on big headlining news (I’m more than likely looking for sources to contribute their perspective!) ● Be persistent with outreach (but not pushy) ● Share relevant stories you find interesting, story ideas that relate to the journalists beat! ● Be a human! Just say hi and let’s set up a catch up/intro to get to know each other! 6
- 7. Don’t ● Get upset at the reporter if your comments/quote doesn't make it in the article ● Get mad at the journalist if she doesn’t respond to an email ● Peddle your firm when speaking to a journalist for a story comment ● Bombard a journalist with ideas that aren’t timely or relevant but just push your firm’s agenda (it’ll be very obvious) ● Blast a reporter’s article on social media if there’s something you don’t like (DM us privately, or email us so we can hash it out) 7
