Comments on: Interview pitches, sans pitch http://www.openthedialogue.com/2006/01/interview-pitches-sans-pitch/ Digital media tools, solutions and strategies from MWW Group Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:42:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Chris Thilk http://www.openthedialogue.com/2006/01/interview-pitches-sans-pitch/comment-page-1/#comment-39 Chris Thilk Thu, 26 Jan 2006 21:25:10 +0000 http://staging.zubrcom.net/openthedialogue/?p=83#comment-39 I think the idea of journalists and media outlets latching on to bloggers and their passion and expertise is one that would be a fantastic way to extend the reach of traditional media. If a blogger is going to be interviewed for a radio show or newspaper he or she will likely write about it on their site and that means increased exposure for the pub/station. It's a win for both parties. There are so many passionate people out there dealing with topics that traditional outlets just can't because they're not money makers. Featuring these people gives them access to that enthusiasm dirt cheap and with a potential for great exposure. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
