So… Y’all remember how I started that little Facebook group I started that allowed me to connect reporters and sources, right? Well, 1,200 members later, and we’ve blown past email limits for Facebook groups. So with that said…
Welcome to Help A Reporter: The Sequel. Help A Reporter, at www.helpareporter.com is live, and already making waves. […]
So today is Friday. I was all psyched today. I’d go out and find another Happy Friday Video to post, it was going to be a chill, relaxing day.
Then yesterday, a good friend of mine, a senior reporter for one of the largest daily papers in the country, asks me to post a query to […]
So my mobile phone rings yesterday afternoon, from a restricted number, as I’m walking through CVS to pick up more Ibuprofen for my broken rib.
I answer it, and find myself talking to some woman who claims to be the “head of Profnet,” who tells me that me that I’ve been stealing reporter queries and posting […]
I got to play with the iBot today, thanks to my client’s IR breakfast at Le Parker Meridian.
What an amazing device! Totally revolutionary, but is to be expected, since Dean Kamen invented it. Dean, as you know, also invented the Segway.
Just spectacular technology. Seriously.
NSFW warning for wording.
Some things don’t mix.
Lemonade and Tuna fish. Yeah, more than one person in my office today agrees that no, those two don’t mix.

Good morning from Newark International Airport’s Terminal C President’s Club 1. I’m waiting for my flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to keynote the New Mexico PRSA, as a favor to my good friend Benson Hendrix.
As I sit here, I can reflect, which is always fun. And I can learn how to use my right thumb […]

Having a discussion a few days ago with a running buddy who is in HR. She was telling me how, when she interviews potential candidates, she asks for one or two online personas - She tells them that before she Googles them, she’ll go to those specific personas and attempt to form an opinion that […]
D’oh.

Did Fox News today - Got a call as my plane was landing in Chicago. 40 minutes later, I was at Fox’s Chicago studio, being put into makeup. (which I forgot to wipe off, which made my client burst into hysterics when she saw me.)
Piece was on Aquafina having to put verbage on their bottles […]
