What Happens if You Get a Reporter on the Phone?

  • Get to the point quickly.
  • Do not ask a reporter if they have seen your email or press release – that puts them on the defensive – and if they have seen your release, they will let you know.
  • When they answer, ask them if they have 3 minutes. If they say no, email them your pitch. If they say yes, launch immediately into your pitch and then follow-up with an email.
  • Be succinct.
