Everyone, I subscribe to HARO (Help A Reporter Out,
www.helpareporter). This is a free service (meaning you all can subscribe too, if you want). It emails me inquiries from reporters who are looking for sources for articles they're writing. In other words, these are great PR opportunities! I've been posting the ones that seem relevant to StartupChicks. I haven't heard much of anything, so let me know if this is helpful or not.
By the way, if you want to respond to one of these, email the reporter directly -- instructions should be included in the post. Don't email me or reply here -- that won't do anything. Here's this afternoon's:
