Tips for small businesses on how to hook the media
Tips for small businesses on how to hook...
June 2, 2008 6:19 pm

In my last column I focused on finding your “business hook.” But after moderating a panel of editors from the Kirkland Reporter, Puget Sound Business Journal and the Seattle Times a few weeks ago, I realized that, while many small businesses might understand the concept of a strong story hook, they may struggle to actually pitch the story.
So here’s what I’ll do: Pitch to you, the reader, the story of one of my favorite local businesses.

Is your business newsworthy?: A simple rule to follow
Is your business newsworthy?: A simple rule to...
By Susan Burnash • May 12, 2008 7:03 pm

At a recent business networking event a nice gentleman (with a business that helps parents fund college educations without, as he said, “going broke”) approached me and pitched his business in the hope that I might get him coverage in the paper. Trying not to embarrass him, I explained I am a columnist (as opposed to a reporter) and have no influence over the type of business stories that get covered.

And when it comes to business, is there a right time or wrong time, right way or wrong way, to change your business image, especially when you’ve invested heavily in the current one?
