Oooops - simple stuff that makes a difference

Oooops - simple stuff that makes a difference

Howdy. I have been trying to get a story going with a major TV show here in Australia. It's a show that goes to air each night at 6.30 p.m.

I rang to make the pitch the other day at about 4.30 p.m.

Now stupid is a strong word. But I'm happy to use it to describe me!

At 4.30 p.m the producers and reporters on that show will be frantically trying to put together the show for that night's screening. I had as much chance of making my pitch as I did have of flying to the moon.

Ringing the media

It's always best to contact the media early in the day (i.e. like 9 a.m). That way they have time to listen.

Simple I know. And I can't believe I rang at 4.30 p.m!

Cheers

Brendon
