I'm in PR and have a product that I'm in the midst of pitching to LA media. Unfortunately, I'm working with a product and media targets that aren't in my day-to-day PR niche. Does anyone have any contact suggestions for Daily Candy LA and the business section at the LA Times? I've emailed and tried to follow up with Crystal Meers at Daily Candy and Abigail Goldman at the Times and haven't gotten anywhere. Thank you!

LA Daily Candy
It's extremely hard to get contact info for Daily Candy. Wow, they run a tight ship. I was just looking for that info and ran across your query. Did you get anywhere?

I think LA Daily Candy is Ashley something or another. She used to be the ed for SF.

Last I read, Crystal Meers was the LA Daily Candy editor. Good luck.

You can call the LA Times toll free at (800) LA-TIMES. Ask for the Business section. Consider contacting an editor there instead of a staff writer.

It's super hard
Really hard to find contact names for Daily Candy? The girls put themselves right out there: http://www.dailycandy.com/staff.jsp

They even tell you which kind of candy they like.

daily candy
did you ever have any luck with daily candy. I am also pitching a client product and cannot get anywhere. Also, depending on your product you may want to try to the lifestyle section as well.

Isn't Daily Candy mostly advertorial?

In my opinion, with so many other fashion and lifestyle blogs out there, Daily Candy has lost a lot of it's oomph.

Sweet spot for Daily Candy
I've got nothing but good things to say about Daily Candy - I think they're really clued into their demographic and on top of things. I posted a media release to the Fancy Food Show web site about a lovely, upscale product and D. Candy contacted us in a flash. The story looked great, and my client's e-commerce web site went crazy with customers. But sorry, I don't have the sort of email addresses you're looking for. Did you also send those people you mentioned a nicely presented sample?
