Mitch Joel of TwistImage recently wrote a great blog entry called “How To Get Media Attention In One Easy Step (And It’s Free)“. There are some great tips in there and I thought I’d pass it along.

Here’s an excerpt:

All the common rules of society still apply when contacting Journalists and Bloggers:
- Be nice.
- Be respectful of their time.
- Recognize that these are busy people too.
- Be self-aware that most of them do not like to pitched.
- Don’t annoy them or hound them if you don’t hear back from them.
- Say please and thank you.
- Make it easy, simple and fun to connect to you and whatever it is you’re pitching them.
- Give them time and space to breathe (your rush is not their rush).

There’s a bunch of other great info in the article - check it out.
