Meet the Press
June 7th, 2007A journalist from a major newspaper called me asking for help on local response on the Jefferson indictment. I did not have a response myself. I sent an email with a lot of CC’s, asking people to give their response directly to the jouranlist. The pitch was, if you want to shape the media’s perception of New Orleans, here is your chance.
This has been generally how I handle a request for something quotable. I forward it. It is the same notion as the web. If you want people to return, send them away.
It worked out well. There were three people who gave a considered response.
