#Tips

1. Put your name in the Twitter account bio


2. Upload CC images to Flickr and have a media section on your site


3. Build relationships / join the conversation

RT journalists' stories / mention them




4. Tailor your pitch. A short email is best. Avoid attachments. PDFs are annoying.


5. Be targeted in your approach



6. Some journalists and bloggers are short of stories at Christmas

7. It's not all about text-based stories




Thank you!
