Welcome to TST’s Tech Hotlist where we highlight key journalists for your various vertical topics. Today we are writing about “breaking news” reporters. Breaking news needs to be timely and relevant to get the attention that you seek.
Some tips to remember:
-
Always do your background research on each reporter to identify timeliness and relevance.
-
Read the reporter’s previous articles.
-
Check for article collaborators who may also be good contacts for your story.
-
If you’re searching for contacts, check the masthead of the media outlet which is usually on the “About us” or “Contact us” page. You may also find it in the media kit.
