To try to demand mention from the press would be utter suicide.  You would be better advised to lodge a more indirect personal complaint along the lines of: "You know I've talked to six reporters and none of them thought anything I said was worth quoting."  That would be a guilt-throwing sympathy play that would work much better.   The best thing is just to be as helpful and as informed as possible and hope they will appreciate the input and mention you.  I've worked for hours and gotten only a line or two.  Other times, I've talked just a little and gotten full page coverage.   Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     ----- Original Message ----- From: jonny goldstein To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 11:32 AM Subject: [videoblogging] Re: For next year: promote unknown vloggers Next time someone wants to interview you, you can say to them "Look, I've been interviewed 6 times in the last month, but I haven't been cited in any of the resulting stories. I'm happy to talk with you, but you need to at least give me mention." And if they don't want to, they can find someone else to talk to. You have as much power as they do. You don't have to play hardball like that, but it's an option, and there's nothing wrong with doing so. Worst case scenario they don't want to talk w/you. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "taoofdavid65" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > That sounds like a wonderful plan.  Unfortunately for me, the > > half-dozen times I've been interviewed in the past few months, the > > reporter has seemed interested, but I still have yet to actually show > > up in an article... > > > > *sigh*  I guess I need themed content.  ;) > > > > Susan > > http://vlog.kitykity.com > > > > You got interviewed.
