Media tip: Be relevant

Media tip: Be relevant

In today's headline picture I had just shown Edie some of the irrelevant stuff people send me with the expectation or hope that I'll "write" about it and my "readers" will read it.

That's because they don't know my current outlet is an audio podcast. Because they are working from an old list. Nothing says "I can't be bothered" like an old list.

If you're concerned your employees are sending out equally dud releases check the event I have coming up below.

Not expecting the question?
