Celebrate Help-a-Reporter Day Today

In hopes of pushing membership to 15,000 and beyond for his free journalist-to-source matching site, Peter Shankman named to day “Help a Reporter Day” and asked all of his members to update their Facebook and LinkedIN statuses to the following:

“Get Sourced. Get Quoted. Get Famous: www.helpareporter.com – Putting Journalists and Sources together, one quote at a time.”

After taking months to reach a thousand members and outgrow mass emailing capabilities of the original Facebook Group, Help-a-Reporter is flourishing with two to three round-ups of press opportunities per day, often with over 15 queries. So if you have a comment on Staycations or tips for hiring an assistant (a query today from the Oklahoman) today is your day to celebrate.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
