Directory Helps Businesses Seeking Media Coverage
The Puget Sound Media Directory is the only directory of its kind listing newspapers, magazines, wire services, news bureaus, radio stations and broadcast and cable television stations from Bellingham to Olympia. More than 500 reporters, editors, and producers are listed, with their direct phone numbers and mailing address included. Reporter’s “beats” are also noted, as well as a description of each media entry.
“The Puget Sound Media Directory is an invaluable tool for anyone seeking media coverage for their business, organization, event or themselves,” says Candace Kovner BelAir, publisher of the Directory.
BelAir is a former reporter, anchor and producer for such news organizations as CNN, Newsweek Video, Lifetime Television, United Stations Radio Network and KIRO-TV. A professional speaker, she speaks on Media Relations, and also teaches a class called “How to Get Your Name in the News” at the University of Washington.
“For years, my students have been asking ‘How do we know which reporters to send our press kits to?’ It was obvious there was a need for a comprehensive listing of print and broadcast journalists in the area. Thus, the Puget Sound Media Directory was born,” says BelAir.
