1. Quick Media Marketing Tip
================================================================
When you want to get free publicity from the news media
try to find the "new kid on the block."
Pitch your idea to someone farther down the newsroom
hierarchy who’s responsible for coming up with their own
stories.
As a rule, reporters don’t make nearly as much money as
people think. So there tends to be a high turnover, with
reporters moving from place to place fairly often.
When a reporter is first hired, they generally won’t know
much about their new job, and (this is extremely important)
won’t have built up a list of sources yet.
If you build a relationship and become one of those sources
you'll often find yourself getting free publicity that's
more believable, powerful productive and profitable than any
advertising you can buy at any price.

2. Advanced Media Marketing Article
================================================================
Smile! You're on Oprah!
By Susan Harrow
Media Coach & Marketing Expert
Part 2 of 2. Part 1 was published in the previous edition.

Now that you know what it takes to pitch an idea to
Oprah, you need to know what to do when you actually
appear on the show.
1. Connect with your eyes. It is very important to
maintain eye contact with Winfrey 100 percent of the time
when she addresses you. This means while you're talking
and while you're listening. Audiences believe that you're
sincere and knowledgeable if you keep consistent, soft
eye contact.
3. Bring visual props. Visual props add liveliness and
helps your viewers remember your points, which indirectly
translates into buying your product or book. Let the
producers know how you plan to use your prop(s) ahead of
time. During the show you also need to direct the
cameraman to your object by pointing to it or holding it
up to cue them for a close-up.
4. Introduce yourself with a stellar sound bite. On
television your very first utterance sets the tone for
all the information you plan to deliver. Say something
that instantly brings focus to your most important
message that ties into your product, service or book.
With dedicated practice, channeling your passion,
enthusiasm, and knowledge about your subject will come
across to your audience, and people will naturally want
to know more about you, your products and your services.

7. Media Humor
================================================================
Story currently circulating on the internet...offered without
comment.
Subject: good journalism
Two boys are playing hockey on a frozen pond in a Chicago park
when one of the boys is suddenly attacked by a crazed
Rottweiller.
Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves
itunder the dog's collar, twists it, and breaks the dog's neck,
saving his friend.
A reporter is strolling by, sees the incident, and rushes over
to interview the boy. "Young Bears Fan Saves Friend From Vicious
Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Bears fan," the little hero replies.
"Sorry, since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says
the reporter and he starts writing again. "Cub Fan Rescues Friend
From Horrific Attack" he writes in his notebook.
"I'm not a Cub fan either," the boy says.
"Oh, I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Bears or
the Cubs.
What team do you root for?" the reporter asks.
"I'm a Packers fan," the boy replies.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:
"Little (Expletive Deleted) From Wisconsin Kills Beloved Family
Pet".
